Abstract:
The research was conducted to find out (1)
factors influencing farmer’s decision to cultivate soybean,
and (2)the opportunity level of farmer response to
soybean farming in Jember and Sampang. Research
location was determined through purposive method and
sampling conducted through simple random sampling
method. Data analysis method used was logit regression
model where the dependent variable (Y) was dummy
variable with value of 1 (response) and 0 (non-response).
Research result found G value of 130.198 (p-value =
0.0001) indicating that logistic regression model, as a
whole, could explain farmers’ decision in their response
to soybean farming. Factors influencing farmers’
response to soybean farming were acreage, education,
income, and area status.
