Abstract

This community service effort intends to help farmers in Tolotio Village, Gorontalo Regency, learn more about sorghum farming and how to use climatic information. The exercise follows a Farmer Field School approach, using a 500 m² demonstration plot for observations from planting to 45 days after planting (DAP). The learning method was divided into four sessions: planting and germination, growth monitoring and crop management, identifying water stress symptoms and utilizing meteorological data, and vegetative-stage evaluation and reflection on production procedures. This report focuses on the implementation phase, including participatory observation, field record-keeping, conversations, and activity documentation. The demonstration plot provided a practical setting for planting, monitoring plant and soil conditions, and discussing mulching and water management. Climate data was incorporated into conversations to connect weather conditions to crop maintenance needs. The reported results encompass the learning process up to the vegetative phase; however, quantifiable judgments on advances in knowledge, abilities, or changes in cultivation decision-making cannot be formed because the required measurement data have not been presented. This effort exemplifies a Farmer Field School concept based on a sorghum demonstration plot, which merits additional investigation into participation outcomes, crop development through harvest, and the long-term viability of the farming approaches used.
