Abstract
Setting the cropping pattern in the use of paddy fields is one of the important steps that determine the income, use and distribution of farm labor. The study was conducted by utilizing secondary data production, cost analysis, etc. in the series 2009-2018 in Bogor Regency. The analysis uses linear programming by setting the raw area of paddy fields and paddy farmer labor as constraints and maximizing income as a goal. The use of agricultural land in Bogor Regency continues to shrink every year. The optimal solution to the cropping pattern that is produced turns out to still leave land and labor resources, so an alternative cropping pattern is needed to utilize these resources. The recommended cropping pattern needs to be implemented through empowering farmer groups proportionally according to the area of land and labor they have.
