Farmer’s Individual Potential in Different Farm Sizes of Local Beef Cattle Farming in Kebumen Regency, Indonesia
Abstract: This study aims (1)
identify the farmer’s individual potential in different farm sizes and (2)
analyze the relationship of basic potential, availability of man power
potential, provision of production input potential, and technological mastery
potential with the increasing farm size of PO Kebumen cattle. 100 respondents
(breeding farmers) from 6 sub-districts known as PO Kebumen beef cattle development
centers are selected using a multistage sampling method. The results of Kruskal
Wallis Test explain that farmer’s individual potential of PO Kebumen beef
cattle farming showed significant difference at different farm size
(P<0.01). Based on the Spearman rank correlation test, the availability of
technological potential and the provision of production input potential are
considered as the important elements regarding to the increasing farm size of
PO Kebumen beef cattle (P <0.01). The mastery of technology and the
provision of production inputs are the driving factors for increasing the farm
size of PO Kebumen cattle.
