Risk behavior of corn farming is influenced by two main factors, namely the behavior of human resources and the nature of natural resources. One of the natural conditions that causes an increase in risk in the agricultural sector is climate change. Corn farming is one of the food crops that can accept these conditions, namely farming behavior carried out by farmers and climate change that cannot be predicted with certainty. This study analyzes farmers' preferences for the risk of corn production using the Just and Pope model. The results show that farmers with risk seeker preferences use production inputs greater than farmers with risk averse preferences. Farmers with risk seeker preferences are more technically efficient than risk averse preferences. Related to social factors, farmers with risk seeker preferences tend to have a greater number of family dependents, higher education levels, and have a longer experience of corn farming than farmers with risk averse preferences..

Salah satu kondisi alam yang menyebabkan peningkatan risiko pada sektor pertanian ialah perubahan iklim. Usahatani tanaman jagung merupakan salah satu usahatani tanaman pangan yang dapat menerima kondisi tersebut, yaitu perilaku usahatani yang dilakukan petani dan perubahan iklim yang tidak dapat diprediksi secara pasti. Peneletian ini menganalisis preferensi petani terhadap risiko produksi jagung menggunakan model Just and Pope. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan petani dengan preferensi risk seeker menggunakan input produksi lebih besar daripada petani dengan preferensi risk averse. Petani dengan preferensi risk seeker lebih efisien secara teknis daripada preferensi risk averse. Pada kondisi sosial petani dengan preferensi risk seeker cenderung memiliki jumlah tanggungan keluarga yang lebih besar, tingkat pendidikan lebih tinggi, serta memiliki pengalaman usahatani jagung lebih lama daripada petani dengan preferensi risk averse.
