However, despite the implementation of rice transplanter technology, some farmers still prefer to maintain traditional methods due to their perceived effectiveness in ensuring the precision of seed planting. This study aims to analyze the income of farmers who use rice transplanter technology and explore the relationship between the farmers' socio-economic characteristics and their income. The results show that the average income of farmers using Rice Transplanters in Indrapuri, Aceh Besar, reaches Rp 16,551,529 per planting season, with an average income of Rp 49,364,210.5 per hectare.
