- Abstract
The purpose of this research is to understand the relationship between the capacity of farmers, agricultural extension workers and conservation of tobacco farmland on the slopes of Mount Sumbing. Research population is tobacco farmers (5690 families), agriculture extension workers (458 workers); with the vast tobacco farmlands of 523.6 hectares. Sample is taken in stratified random sampling consisting of 109 farmers and 30 agricultural extension workers. Research variable includes the level of knowledge of tobacco farmers, perception and competence of agricultural extension workers, and implementation of farmland conservation by tobacco farmers. Data were collected by questionnaire, interviews and observation. Data analysis used cross-tabulation, quantitative descriptive, and chi square statistical analysis. The results of the study show that the role of agricultural extension officers in providing counseling on efforts to conserve tobacco farming land is still low. The level of knowledge of tobacco farmers is good to fair, but in terms of the implementation of conservation of agricultural land, it is fair to less.
