Abstract

In general, corn cultivation carries a number of risks, such as price and production risk. The risks will influence farmers' behavior in facing farming risks. The objectives of this research are: 1) to analyze the risk level of sweet corn farming on peatlands. 2) analyze farmers' behavior regarding the risks of sweet corn farming on peatlands. The research method used was purposive sampling, where samples were taken from 82 farmers in Rasau Jaya Satu Village. Data collection was carried out through interviews with questionnaires. The data analysis used is farming risk analysis using the coefficient of variation (CV) and farmer behavior towards risk using quadratic utility function analysis. The research results show that the production risk obtained is 0.11 0.5 and the income risk is 0.11, meaning that the farming risk faced by corn farmers is small. Overall, the majority of sweet corn farmers behaved in a risk-averse manner (risk averters) amounting to 52% or as many as 43 people while the remaining 48% or 39 people behaved boldly towards risks (risk takers).
