The agricultural sector in Indonesia is famous for its abundant natural products and soil fertility. The agricultural sector provides the largest contribution as a supporter of food security. The socio-economic condition of the community is one of the determining factors in supporting the agricultural sector. Sheep is one of the potential animal natural resources cultivated by the people on Kisar Island. Breeders are expected to always be able to improve their knowledge in carrying out various business activities, especially in utilizing the production of sheep dung to be used as organic fertilizer for plants. The purpose of this study was to determine the socioeconomic conditions of farmers, to determine the production of maize using sheep dung, to determine the relationship between the use of sheep dung and maize production on Kisar Island, and to determine the relationship between maize waste feed consumption and sheep productivity on Kisar Island. The results showed that sheep farmers on Kisar Island had low bargaining power, limited capital, and information, but the social conditions of the community in a participatory manner were very good in livestock business activities in the area. Sheep farmers on Kisar Island are always in a low bargaining position in marketing their products, due to capital constraints, long distances from marketing locations, lack of accurate information and pressure on family needs. corn production of 2.98 tons/ha/year. The relationship between the utilization of manure and production shows a non-significant relationship (P>0.05) where the use of sheep manure has not contributed significantly to the growth and production of maize, Consumption of corn waste feed with sheep productivity on Kisar Island showed a very significant relationship (P < 0.01) with the contribution of straw waste feed consumption to sheep productivity of 83.70%.
Buffalo farmers in Klis Village in their development need to prioritize social values ??as the strength of the relationship between their members in interacting. Interaction shows the existence of a relatively stable relationship and shows the existence of a learning process that leads to strengthening the capacity of individuals or groups. The level of interaction can be described through the structure of the relationship between farmers (actors) in the social network and the role of each actor, to receive and share information so that it can show the pattern of relationships and the importance of actors in a network. This study aims to examine the structure of social networks and the role of actors in the social network of moa buffalo farmers in Klis Village, Moa District, Southwest Maluku Regency.

Actors 11, 8, 27 and 23 are actors who have an important role in the social network of buffalo farmers, namely as; opinion leaders, gate keepers, bridges, and liaisons.
Characteristics of breeders determine sheep farming activities. Breeders are expected to always be able to improve their knowledge in carrying out various business activities, especially in utilizing the production of sheep dung to be used as organic fertilizer for plants. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of farmers and the potential for production of sheep dung for food crops, especially corn. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive approach for breeder characteristics and the availability of sheep manure as a potential organic fertilizer measured through adult sheep that excrete manure per day or for 24 hours, then multiplied by the existing livestock population. The results showed that 44% of farmers aged 31-50 years, 56% had elementary school education, 65%, farmers as a main job 65% and farmers only as a sideline 11%, and the priority scale of farmers doing this activity is first to increase income, producing organic fertilizer , as traditional livestock and for savings. The production of sheep manure for one year is 11,711,609 tons/head/year, but the utilization rate for corn food crops is only 372,736 tons/year so that the excess is 11,338.873 tons/year due to its use only on corn and not on corn. other plants
