To return the farmer’s interest on this farming, then on the dates of 15 to 17 of July in 2019 had been runned a training program for farmers related to soy bean seeds processing to become tempe, tofu, and soy bean milk.

To find out whether or not this aim was achieved, a study had been carried out with the objectives of: (1) to find out farmer’s perception on soy bean crop farming, before and after training; and (2) to analyze the significant change of farmer’s perception after running the training. This study was used a sample with size of 37 farmers, selected randomly from the population of 60 farmers who participated in the training program. Related to objective 1, data were analyzed by the application of such descriptive statistics as: mean score, frequencies, percentage, and distribution table; while for the objective 2, data were analyzed by the use of Wilcoxon Pairs Ranking Test.
