Abstract
Some farmers in the Pamekasan area sell corn plants with a slashing system where the corn plants are sold only in the form of trees or leaves as animal feed. The advantage is that the harvest is faster and reduces the use of costs. Some farmers still cultivate corn until it is harvested to sell the corn as food. The advantage is that it has a longer shelf life. The difference in farmers' decisions in carrying out the corn sales system is influenced by the characteristics of farmers and external influences. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence farmers' decisions in conducting a corn crop selling system. The analysis used is agricultural and logit analysis. From the results of the study, it was found that the factors that had a significant effect on farmers' decisions in carrying out a corn sales system with a slashing system (tree selling) were the planting period and consumer guarantees with an error rate of 10% and farming costs with an error rate of 15%. Farmers in farming prefer the slashing system because the planting period is shorter, thereby reducing the costs incurred, especially maintenance costs and labor at harvest. There is a guarantee of consumers (buyers) especially in the dry season because the leaves are used for livestock slaughter.
