 AbstractThis study aims to determine the performance of dry land farmingon transmigrant farmers in Saritani Village, Wonosari District,Boalemo Regency which includes the type of commodity, thecombination pattern of dry land farming and the level of farm incomein farming activities. The study was conducted on 73 farmers spreadover three hamlets. The results showed that there were 16 types offarming commodities and 21 combination patterns of farming carriedout by farmers. The types of commodities cultivated consist of foodcrops (corn and rice), plantation crops (coconut, oil palm and coffee),annual crops (cloves) and horticulture (vegetables and fruit).Availability of labor available in sufficient quantities. The productivityof farming land is low, this is because the condition and topography ofthe land in most of the farming land is dry land that relies on rainfalland hilly land contours. The level of farming income for crops that aremostly cultivated by farmers is quite good and profitable, but theselling price at the farm level is relatively low.Key words: Performance, farming, dry land, farmers, transmigration
