Furthermore, to determine the effect of production input factors on farming efficiency, a multiple linear regression analysis was carried out. The results showed that dryland farming by the community around BDH Panggang forest was not efficient because the value of R/C<1 (0,44), labor productivity Rp 29.522,69/working people’s day is lower than a local standard wage Rp 50.000/ working people’s day, and the productivities of land and capital are negative value.

Dryland farming by community in BDH Panggang Forest KPH Yogyakarta it is not economically efficient because based on the ratio of revenues and costs, labor productivity, land productivity and capital productivity resulting from dryland farming is not feasible
Summary
Limited natural resources in the GunungKidul area make some people in the area do not have many choices in farming activities. Dryland farming is the most widely used field of employment by farming communities in the area. It is not uncommon for GunungKidul residents to go outside areas such as Yogyakarta and Jakarta to make a living other than farming. According to [1], dryland has considerable potential and opportunity to produce food if it is managed with the right strategy and technology. These opportunities are often overlooked for reasons of technical constraints. Dyah [2] explained that the use of dryland is a solution to the reduction in paddy fields due to land conversion
