indonesian farmer's story
cursed farmer
Penutuk Village is a village whose economy is based on the fisheries subsector. Even so, agricultural activities in this village are also no less vital than the fisheries subsector. This is indicated by the wriggling of rice cultivation activities in the village. Penutuk Village has a rice field with an area of 261 ha divided in two locations, namely rice fields in the eastern part of the village and the western part of the village. The rice paddies printed in 2017 are almost entirely worked all by farmers of Penutuk Village.
Penutuk Village farmers tell in cultivating rice fields they face various problems, such as the frequent entry of sea water into the rice field area which results in submerged rice fields, inundation of rice fields in the rainy season, pest and disease attacks, and, as well as knowledge that is still lacking in cultivating rice fields. In the meeting (30/11/2020) held in the western rice fields of Penutuk Village, this, the farmers shared their complaints to Mr. Singkir as a speaker and Ms. Misnah and BPP extension officers of Tukak Sadai Subdistrict. The event initiated by the Association of Peasant Groups (Gapoktan) Lepar Lestari with Penutuk Village Extension is used by farmers to maximally find solutions to their problems in financing rice fields. Questions arise from farmers to find solutions to the problems they face. Problems regarding the dosage of fertilization and the handling of pests and diseases are more often asked by farmers to the speaker. Mr. Singkir as a speaker is very excited to provide solutions to the problems of Penutuk Village farmers.
Penutuk Village farmers also hope that in the future they will increase their knowledge and skills in cultivating rice fields. So that the production and productivity of rice fields farmers increase and improve their economy. In addition, farmers also hope that assistance from the South Bangka Regency Government through the Department of Agriculture, Food, Fisheries, South Bangka Regency remains sustainable and never breaks up to help them.

The local river that became a source of water for the community has dried up. Likewise with rain wells that become the mainstay of citizens who gradually shrink.
The village bordering Ngawi Regency, East Java is one of the villages in the Grobogan Regency region that is also experiencing the most severe drought.
In fact, agricultural land in this remote village has not been functioned due to no more water supply.Parai residents who are majority of farmers choose to migrate to other areas during the drought in order to continue to connect life.For residents who are old further, his activities during the drought were replaced by raising and relying enough on the remaining savings.

Want to be planted with corn and the like remains dead because there is no water," said Suparno who is also this farmer.For residents who are elderly, he said, his activities during the drought were replaced by raising and relying enough on the remaining savings.

"For not yet the rainy season, the rice fields are mangkrak. Want to be planted with corn and the like remains dead because there is no water," said Suparno who is also this farmer.I am a grandson of farmers in a village in the Cianjur region. The tradition of farming has long been forgotten because my parents were no longer farmers.
Some farming activities were done by my parents and then switched professions to become a trader of produce and others.
I once said that I aspired to be a farmer to my mother, then she replied that I wanted to have other dreams and make farming just a hobby.
My farming tradition came when I was a kid with my grandparents. They previously owned a plot of land that was then little by little sold to finance children's education and other needs.
Then they became farm laborers from the land owned by the people of the city. As a grandson, I sometimes follow them in activities such as when they cultivate rice fields or fields, harvest and cultivate crops.
In addition to planting rice, they also garden crops, even once also grow tobacco. They grow plants that are priced well.
Therefore, our village was known as a tobacco-producing village.
Because the market is reduced, farmers in our village back to farming to grow rice and rice.
The fun of farming activities is of course eating together after farming activities are completed in dluhur time. Children also participate in enjoying this farming activity because it is fun.
Some areas in Cianjur have a tradition of ngaseuk, namely planting together for rainfed agriculture.
This activity is carried out on a mutual royong basis alternating between residents who have farms. After that who has land entertain neighbors who help or who do not.
Over time farming activities in my village began to decrease. Some young people who used to be busy farming and farming then take up other fields as a profession.
There are some who turn into ojeg, and there are also those who work in the city and return to the village with their respective successes.
Some people who work abroad become TKI and go home bring success buying rice fields or vehicles as a means of making a living.
There are some young people who are still working and farming. They also continue to cultivate land and raise livestock as before.

Over time farming activities in my village began to decrease. Some young people who used to be busy farming and farming then take up other fields as a profession.
There are some who turn into ojeg, and there are also those who work in the city and return to the village with their respective successes.
Some people who work abroad become TKI and go home bring success buying rice fields or vehicles as a means of making a living.
There are some young people who are still working and farming. They also continue to cultivate land and raise livestock as before.
They have families and can build houses like everyone else. Farming is still a promising livelihood.
Some people change their farm products with promising plants. They no longer grow rice or vegetables like their parents, they grow cut flowers or ornamental flowers.
Planting cut flowers was very promising at that time, many flower bosses sprung up.
Large capital and speculative market conditions resulted in many flower farmers falling as well.
