Abstract

This research is an observation of local wisdom that focuses on floating seeding and examines the factors that affect the outpouring of labor. This analysis uses the independent variables consisting of age, education level, farming experience, and land area, and the dependent variable consists of the outpouring of labor in rice farming. This research was conducted from January to February 2022 with the research sample in the form of rice farmers with a floating seeding system in Pemulutan Ilir Village. Sampling was carried out on 40 research respondents using the snowball sampling method through interviews with the help of a questionnaire. Data analysis was assisted by using the Excel application and SPSS version 25. The results obtained were: (1) local wisdom in rice farming was still present at the stage of land processing, seed procurement, planting, maintenance, and post-harvest, while at the harvest stage, it was no longer available as well as local wisdom using the floating seeding method by utilizing the surrounding natural resources known as “berondong” as a raft and “reamun” as a planting medium; (2) the outpouring of labor used for rice farming is more dominant from outside the family; and (3) the factors that influence the outpouring of labor are age, farming experience, and land area, while the level of education has no significant effect.
