Optimizing Integrated Agribusiness of Beef Cattle Farm through Various Plantation Pattern Models on the Irrigated Land

摘要

The objective of this research was to analyze profit and loss from the integration of beef cattle and crop planting work at field-rice land. Each location sample is taken with Purposive Sampling. Umbulsari District in Jember Regency has extensive field-rice land managed with technical irrigation system: Crop Pattern/CP1 (Rice-Rice), Crop Pattern/CP2 (Rice-Corn), and Crop Pattern/CP3 (Rice-Soybean). The sample includes 32 breeder-farmers. Data analysis including analysis on cost and on income, and analysis of Linear Programming. The conclusions were obtained: the income from CP1 was IDR 12,944,460 and the income of beef cattle was IDR 4,315,000. The income from CP2 was IDR 14,175,050 and the income of beef cattle has attained for IDR 4,656,000. The income from CP3 was IDR 13,919,000 and the income of beef cattle has given income of IDR 4,141,500. The highest income was obtained from CP2rice-corn farming, the contribution of CP1 and beef cattle to the total income was 33.33%. CP2 contributed of 33.84% to total farming income. Moreover, CP3 contributed to total farming income by 29.755%. The selected crop pattern was rice-corn farming, its integration with beef cattle has achieved increasing of maximum income of IDR 2,434,000. This favorable yield was obtained with some resources such as 1.01 hectare, seedling priced at IDR 54,993, 143 kg Urea, 564 kg SP3 Fertilizer, 1,110 kg organic fertilizer, off-family workers at 259 labor works, beef cattle ownership at 2.00 animal unit, 12,775 kg animal feed, and on-family workers at 350 labor works.
