Afarmer (also called an agriculturer) is a person engaged in agriculture, raising living organisms for food or raw materials. The term usually applies to people who do some combination of raising field crops, orchards, vineyards,poultry, or other livestock. A farmer might own the farmed land or might work as a labourer on land owned by others, but in advanced economies, a farmer is usually a farm owner, while employees of the farm are known as farm workers, or farmhands. However, in the not so distant past a farmer was a person who promotes or improves the growth of (a plant, crop, etc.) by labor and attention, land or crops or raises animals (as livestock or fish).
Rice is a grain that is processed and used in the debut of rice. This food is a staple food for most of Indonesian people in addition to corn, sago and cassava. Environmental factors influence on pertubuhan rice, namely: a.Faktor natural environments such as soil, climate, biological. b.Faktor inputs such as fertilizers, drugs eradication of pests and diseases, yielding rice varieties that are given human. Rice production is highly dependent on the season which may affect production activities. Eg planting delays due to little rainfall, while the supply of water for irrigation is getting a little due to the dry season, so many hectares of rice fields drought. Another obstacle that occur are nonuniform planting period and age of the plant that can cause the appearance of the rat. The rains that fell most of the day making the most of the rice plants were ready for harvest stagnant water, if the water does not recede within a few days, the rice plants will decompose and cause farmers suffered huge losses. The aim of this study was to compare the level of income of rice farmers in the rainy season to dry. The hypothesis in this study is believed to income of rice farmers in the rainy season is greater than during the dry season. Determination of the study area was done intentionally (purposive) on the basis of the consideration that agriculture in the region is quite advanced and already has a farmer groups. Techniques of data collection is done by using primary data in the form of questionnaires, interviews, and observations (observation) directly. In addition it is also used secondary data obtained from the literature that have relevance to the research conducted. Selection and determination of the number of samples by using the “Simple Random Sampling”. The determination of the sample farmers based on the number of farmers population of 220 people and 15% of samples taken from a population of as many as 33 people. Data analysis method used in this research is the analysis of income, which is π = TR – TC while for hypothesis testing is used paired t-test, namely: t hit = Where:: the average income of farmers in the rainy and dry seasons. SB: standard deviation. n: number of samples. From the research, the importance of the average income of rice farmers in the rainy season Rp (2,320,545) while the average earned income of rice farmers in the dry season of Rp 32 667 so that the income of rice farmers in the dry season more than the rainy season , This is due to the intensity of solar radiation in the dry season was higher than in the rainy season, because the solar radiation falling on green plants affect the speed of growth and photosynthesis. Moreover, since most of the paddy fields in the village Ngraho layout located near the river Bengawan so during the rainy season sometimes many who have flooded rice fields. To avoid a flooded paddy from the farmers during the rainy season in the village Ngraho cope with the changing times and cropping patterns, which only grow rice in the growing season MK I and MK II or during the dry season irrigation is obtained from river water rivers. Because t hit (29 030)> t table (2.477) then concluded reject Ho means that there are differences statistically farmers’ income of the dry season and the rainy season. In other words in the dry season has an impact on farmers’ income.
