In the short term it is expected to know and identify the value of trust in the social capital owned and how much trust is owned by the farming community and to find out how it relates to the farm's behavior. The method used is to use a combination of qualitative (descriptive) and quantitative methods. The research data were obtained from the results of observations and interviews with structured interviews using questionnaires. The data obtained will be processed statistically using Chi-Square analysis. This research was conducted in half a year or in one wetland rice planting season.
