The performance of agricultural extension workers is the level of work success achieved by agricultural extension workers which is an important aspect that plays a role in work success and  goal achievement. Performance is measured based on the abilities possessed by an individual in the form of cognitive, affective and psychomotor aspects. The numbers of agricultural extension workers in the Sampara subdistrict under the supervision of the Agricultural Extension Center (BPP) of Sampara District are 17 agricultural extension workers. The condition of agricultural extension workers in the Agricultural Extension Center varies in ages, education level and working experiences. The purpose of this study was to analyze the level of performance of field agricultural extension workers (PPL) and to analyze the relationship between the characteristics of extension workers and the performance of  field agricultural extension workers (PPL) in Sampara Sub district, Konawe Regency. The study employed scoring method using likert scale meanwhile measurement correlation between the characteristics of extension workers and the performance of Agricultural Extension workers through non-parametric analysis of Spearman's rank correlation test. The results of the study showed that the performance of field agricultural extension officers was in a fairly good category while the education level factors had a significant or strong relationship as shown by the Rs coefficient with value of 0.721.

Penelitian ini di lakukan di wilayah Sulawesi Tenggara. Penentuan lokasi penelitian dipilih secara sengaja (purposive sampling)dengan pertimbangan adanya ketimpangan yang terjadi dalam Produk Domestik Regional Bruto Sulawesi Tenggara selama tahun 2015-2020 khususnya pada sektor pertanian berdasarkan data yang bersumber dari Badan Pusat Statistik Sulawesi Tenggara. Sektor pertanian mengalami fluktuasi kontribusi Produk Domestik Regional Bruto menurut lapangan usaha terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi, sementara Produk Domestik Regional Bruto sektor ini terus meningkat dan kecenderungan aktivitas ekonomi masyarakat masih mendominasi pada sektor pertanian. Sehingga perlu dilakukan kajian yang menyebabkan terjadinya fenomena ini. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui dan mengkaji daya saing komoditi pada sub sektor perikanan. Untuk menjawab komoditi yang memiliki daya saing ekspor digunakan analisis Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa komoditi sub sektor perikanan Sulawesi Tenggara berdaya saing kuat untuk ekspor pada komoditi gurita beku, rumput laut dan ikan (cakalang, tuna dan tongkol) dengan rata-rata nilai RCA kurun waktu lima tahun terakhir (2015-2020) masing-masing 24,2 (Gurita Beku), 2,6 (Rumput Laut), dan 2,04 (Ikan cakalang, tuna dan tongkol). Hal ini ditunjukkan pada nilai RCA lebih besar dari satu, daya saing kuat tersebut akan memberikan kontribusi positif terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi Sulawesi Tenggara. Sedangkan komoditi udang, cumi-cumi dan kerang merupakan komoditi sub sektor perikanan  Sulawesi Tenggara yang memiliki daya saing lemah dengan nilai RCA masing-masing lebih kecil dari satu (0,45, 0,18 dan 0,16) kurun waktu 2015-2020.

Public nutrition is essential to obtain a healthy and fit body condition, especially during a pandemic like today. The content of vitamins A, C, magnesium, gelatin, phosphorus, and antioxidants in chicken meat can help build the immune system to fight viruses. Besides that, the content of amino acids derived from chicken protein can form antibodies to fight infections. Therefore, raising free-range chickens can be a good business opportunity to fulfill the need for healthy meat from free-range chickens. In addition, it is indicated that the demand for chicken meat in Kendari has yet to be fulfilled, so it must be supplied from other regions. Therefore, raising super free-range chickens can be a promising solution and business opportunity with a maintenance pattern that is not too complicated, where even a not-too-large area of ​​land can be used as a place for its maintenance. Even so, the obstacle free-range chicken breeders face is the slow growth of free-range chickens, which can take 4-6 months to produce 1 kg body weight. But now, this problem can be overcome by the presence of super-free-range chickens or super Javanese chickens, which are the result of crosses between male local native chickens and breeder breeders that have fast growth characteristics. With a maintenance pattern that is not too complicated, where even a not-too-large area of ​​land can be used as a place for its maintenance. The body and flesh still show the type of free-range chicken but with organic care, without drugs, and with organic feed.

The purpose of the study was to determine the efficiency of intercropping corn and peanut with corn monoculture in Kombungo Village, Lasalepa District, Muna Regency. Determination of the sample by simple random method using the slovin method at a confidence level of 85% of the population of corn and peanut intercropping with corn monoculture. Furthermore, the two populations were taken by simple random sampling with 19 people each for intercropping corn and peanuts and 19 people for corn monoculture. In this study used cost analysis, revenue analysis and efficiency analysis. The results showed that: (1). The total income of maize and peanut intercropping is Rp. 31,803,885.71 with a total production cost of 1,457,200 so that the farmers' income is Rp. 30,346,685.71/MT/ha, the largest income is contributed by the sale of peanuts. (2). The total revenue from corn farming is 15.337.142.86 with total production costs of Rp. 2.218.952.39 so that the income from farming in the research area is Rp. 13.118.190.48. The R/C value obtained is 8.25. (3). The intercropping corn and peanut farming is more efficient than the corn monoculture farming, which is indicated by the R/C value of the corn and peanut intercropping 17.67 while the corn monoculture has an R/C value of 8.25.
