Abstract

This study aims to find out : (1) the dynamics of farmer groups in Netpala Village, North Mollo District, South Central Timor District, (2) the constraints faced by farmer group members in applying the dynamics of farmer group elements in Netpala Village, North Mollo Subdistrict South Central Timor District. The research method used is a survey method. The location of the sample was determined by purposive sampling in the village of Netpala. The research population is all farmers who are members of farmer groups in Netpala Village, and the sample of farmer was taken proportionate random sampling from 110 farmers from five farmer groups, therefor obtained 52 farmers.
