Abstract

This research investigates the income generated from yellow corn farming in Betteng Village, revealing that the average income per hectare amounts to Rp 5,363,889. The study highlights that several factors play a crucial role in determining farmers’ earnings. Among these, land area, seed prices, fertilizer costs, labor wages, and pesticide expenses collectively have a significant impact on the income levels. This indicates that changes in any of these variables can substantially influence the profitability of yellow corn cultivation in the area. Furthermore, the analysis shows that land area, fertilizer prices, and labor wages individually exert a significant partial effect on income, underscoring their importance in the farming process. These findings suggest that managing costs related to fertilizers and labor, as well as optimizing land use, could help farmers increase their income.
