Abstract

The agricultural sector significantly contributes to rural communities in Indonesia. Farmers are active players in responding to market dynamics and agricultural commodity trends, and one crucial aspect to examine is the rationality of a farming community. This research analyzes the rationality of dryland farmers concerning crop commodities. It employs qualitative methods with a case study approach conducted within the context of dryland farmers applying mixed cropping farming patterns in the village of Singosari, Talang Padang District, Tanggamus Regency. Primary data collection involves interviews, participatory observations, documentation, while secondary data is gathered through a nine-month literature review. The study finds that Singosari's dryland farmers demonstrate rational behavior, both economically and in ecological considerations regarding external crop commodities. Farmers carefully evaluate risks and benefits when deciding on the types of crops to cultivate, taking into account environmental and economic conditions. However, there's a possibility that farmers' choices in cultivating crops might not align sustainably with the initially planned calculations. Therefore, dryland farmers need to consider the specific conditions of their farming patterns.
