    Farmers Response to the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) Extension Material Improvement Exploring Economic Benefits of SRI, Biogas, and Worm Cultivation Integration
    (IAARD Press, 2015-11-10) Maulana, Mohamad
    The availability of abundant cattle waste in a village is an important factor for implementing organic rice farming practice. The utilization of cattle waste in SRI practice, biogas, and worm cultivation increase farmers’ income, but this issue is not informed well to farmers because traditionally agricultural extension agent focused on delivering cropping techniques than economic advantages. The objective of this study is to assess farmers’ response to the possibility of inserting the information about the economic benefits of integrating SRI, biogas, and worm cultivation in the SRI extension program. Respondents were conventional farmers in Boyolali Regency and using value added and farmers’ response concept. There are three activities in this research, namely obtaining value added throughout biogas value chain, presenting the value added to farmers, and receiving farmers’ response. The results shows in three parts of biogas value chain increase farmers’ economic benefits from Rp974 thousand/year to Rp5.18 million/year. Conventional farmers give high positive response to the integration of implementing SRI and following biogas project and receiving value-added from installing biogas digester. However, farmers give low response to worm cultivation due to unstable demand and price volatility. Ketersediaan kotoran sapi yang melimpah menjadi faktor penting dalam mengimplementasikan usaha tani padi organik. Penggunaan kotoran sapi dalam SRI, biogas, dan usaha budi daya cacing dapat menjadi upaya peningkatan pendapatan petani, namun informasi dan upaya ini kurang dipahami petani karena para penyuluh pertanian cenderung memfokuskan penyampaian informasi teknis bertanam organik dibandingkan keuntungan ekonomi. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh respons petani terhadap kemungkinan memasukkan informasi perolehan nilai tambah dan keuntungan ekonomi dalam materi penyuluhan padi organik di mana kegiatannya difokuskan pada memperoleh data dan informasi nilai tambah pada rantai nilai biogas, mempresentasikan nilai tambah tersebut kepada petani dan memperoleh respons petani. Objek kajian ini adalah para petani konvensional di Kabupaten Boyolali dan menggunakan konsep nilai tambah dan respons petani. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa keuntungan petani bertambah mulai dari Rp974 ribu/tahun hingga Rp5,18 juta/tahun. Respons positif diperoleh keinginan petani menerapkan integrasi SRI dan biogas, tetapi tidak untuk usaha budi daya cacing karena ketidakstabilan permintaan dan harga produk.
