    (Badan Penelitian dan Pengembangan Pertanian, 2013) Sunanto; Eka Triana Yuniarsih; M. Asaad
    Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the world’s most important food crops other than wheat and rice. Productivity is still low at only reached 4.3 t/ha. Corn needs to increase. Corn crops in all the components can be useful directly or indirectly. The research was conducted in South Sulawesi in February until June 2012, with survey methods and observation at 120 farmer respondents. Assessment results indicate that corn farming on dry land and paddy fields after rice in South Sulawesi is a potential, as supported by natural resources and human resources (farmers). The results of the feasibility analysis of maize farming feasible to be developed because it gives the production rate of 5.930 kgs/ha at a cost of Rp 6,220,600/ha and revenue of Rp 14,825,000/ha. So that the income of Rp 8,604,400/ha with the R/C 2.38. Corn wastes can be used as animal feed, the farmer is often used among other components of the leaves, stems, and klobot by providing support equal 3 cows for 312 days. The advice given is guidance to farmers should be increased because farmers have a responsibility to change the level of technology is quite high, but it also supported the willingness and ability of farmers. Continued integration of crop assessment- cattle on dry land and paddy fields to utilize agricultural wastes, agricultural wastes that have added value.
