The samples are monoculture soybean farmer which selected by purpusive sampling. The result of the doubled-linier regression analysis performed that the production factors which gave the greatest affecting to the result of soybean production is large of land. The large of land has linier comparison effect to the production result of soybean and affected to the production result of soybean, means addition of production factor of seeds exactly will be bring increase the production result of soybean. Based on the maximum profit approach can be found out that the combination of the use of production factors in soybean farm in Sukoharjo Regency not yet optimal.
