This research is a study that uses a qualitative approach with a qualitative approach with phenomenological design to reveal the description of the efforts made by field agricultural extension officers in empowering farmers to improve the performance of farming in the “Mugi Rahayu” Farmer Group in Tegalsari Village, Jetis District, Ponorogo Regency. Empowerment of farmers in the farmer group “Mugi Rahayu” was carried out through extension activities carried out by field agricultural extension workers. Extension activities are carried out routinely to deliver material that is felt to be the learning needs of farmers in recognizing problems and finding solutions to existing problems in accordance with the characteristics and potential of the land owned. Empowerment of farmers through extension activities carried out through a series of processes consisting of planning, implementation and evaluation. The series of processes are carried out jointly between farmer groups, extension agents, and farmers as learning targets. Improving the performance of farms is not only seen from the addition of the amount of farm income every harvest period, the empowerment of farmers can also be seen from the ability of farmers to recognize problems and seek problem solving independently.
