Decades of Crop Failure, Now 300 Hectares of Rice Fields in Krangkeng Harvest
About 300 hectares of rice crop area in two villages in Krangkeng Subdistrict, in this growing season successfully harvested simultaneously. In fact, in this location, it has been more than 26 years can not be harvested even often failed to harvest in the period of gadu or second planting.
This is because in the two villages there is always a lack of water. This water factor is the subject of farmers in Singakerta Village and Kapringan Village krangkeng subdistrict. So that in the second harvest season or planting, farmers in this region often fail to harvest.
Data from the Krangkeng Subdistrict said that the area of agricultural land entering the harvest season covers an area of 136 hectares in Singakerta Village, and 164 hectares in Kapringan Village.
The area of rice crops that have been harvested reaches 300 hectares. Scattered in Singakerta Village and Kapringan Village," explained Camat Krangkeng Ali Alamudin,
Ali explained, this condition is a blessing for farmers in the two villages who have been unable to harvest rice, because for the past 26 years farmers often lose money due to crop failure.
The breakthrough from Indramayu Regent Nina Agustina Da'i Bachtiar so that all irrigation canals, including in irrigation iv canals, become a reality. With the solution, the rice fields in the two villages are abundant.
Irrigation Sindupraja SR 6-JW7 channel which is the mainstay of farmers in the two villages, is the main idea as well as the main program of Indramayu Regent Nina Agustina as a form of partisanship to farmers to maintain the national food security program.
According to the people, there are four groups of farmers namely Poktan Sri Lestari II and Sri Lestari III Singakerta Village, and Poktan Panggungan and Poktan Panggungan II from Kapringan Village who managed to return dry land to agricultural fertile land.
Ali hopes that the planting period of rendeng, farmers in the two villages can achieve satisfactory results.
I hope that in the growing season next season farmers in Singakerta Village and Kapringan Village get an abundant harvest as well. On behalf of the people of Krangkeng Subdistrict we thank you for the attention of The Regent's Mother Indramayu who cares deeply for farmers in Krangkeng Subdistrict.
Puluhan Tahun Gagal Panen, Kini 300 Hektar Lahan Sawah di Krangkeng Panen Raya
Sekitar 300 hektar areal tanaman padi di dua desa di Kecamatan Krangkeng, pada musim tanam kali ini berhasil di panen secara serentak. Padahal, di lokasi tersebut, sudah lebih dari 26 tahun tidak dapat di panen bahkan sering gagal panen di masa gadu atau tanam kedua.
Hal ini karena di dua desa tersebut selalu kekurangan air. Faktor air inilah yang menjadi pokok persoalan petani di Desa Singakerta dan Desa Kapringan Kecamatan Krangkeng. Sehingga pada musim panen gadu atau tanam kedua, petani di wilayah ini seringkali gagal panen.
Data dari pihak Kecamatan Krangkeng menyebutkan, areal lahan pertanian yang memasuki musim panen seluas 136 hektare di Desa Singakerta, dan 164 hektare di Desa Kapringan.
Luas tanaman padi yang sudah di panen mencapai 300 hektare. Tersebar di Desa Singakerta dan Desa Kapringan," jelas Camat Krangkeng Ali Alamudin,
Ali menjelaskan, kondisi ini merupakan berkah bagi petani di dua desa tersebut yang selama ini tidak dapat panen padi, karena selama 26 tahun terakhir petani kerap merugi akibat gagal panen.
Terobosan dari Bupati Indramayu Nina Agustina Da'i Bachtiar agar seluruh saluran irigasi terairi, termasuk di saluran irigasi IV, menjadi kenyataan. Dengan adanya solusi itu, lahan sawah di dua desa tersebut panennya melimpah.
Irigasi Sindupraja saluran SR 6-JW7 yang menjadi andalan petani di dua desa tersebut, merupakan gagasan sekaligus program utama Ibu Bupati Indramayu Nina Agustina sebagai bentuk keberpihakan kepada petani untuk mempertahankan program ketahanan pangan nasional.
Menurut orang-orang, ada empat kelompok tani yakni Poktan Sri Lestari II dan Sri Lestari III Desa Singakerta, dan Poktan Panggungan dan Poktan Panggungan II dari Desa Kapringan yang berhasil mengembalikan lahan kering menjadi lahan subur pertanian.
Ali berharap, masa tanam rendeng, petani di dua desa tersebut dapat mencapai hasil yang memuaskan.
Saya berharap semoga di musim tanam rendeng musim depan petani di Desa Singakerta dan Desa Kapringan mendapat panen yang melimpah juga. Atas nama masyarakat Kecamatan Krangkeng kami mengucapkan terimakasih atas perhatian dari Ibu Bupati Indramayu yang sangat peduli kepada petani di Kecamatan Krangkeng.
