According to Rumagit (2019), this farmer group was formed with the aim of helping to deal with various kinds of problems, challenges and obstacles to agricultural activities. Solving problems in groups needs to pay attention to the underlying social aspects, so that the solutions that will be given can be in accordance with the problems at hand. Social capital is one of the capitals that can be used for farmers to strengthen their groups. This social capital is one aspect that can make people join so that they can achieve common goals based on the aspect of togetherness, bound by trust, based on norms and values that are upheld and adhered to by the community as well as a good communication network. (Rahman, 2020). According to Ngangi (2016), the existence of social elements in the community has unconsciously become a strength for farmer groups in particular. Currently, farmer groups do not only consist of male farmers, but women also form farmer groups to help achieve their goals through these groups.
