This research was conducted from November 2019 until March 2020. The data used in this study were primary and secondary data. Primary data were obtained from direct interviews with corn farmers totaling of 10 respondents using questionnaires, while secondary data were obtained from literature and previous research. The sampling method used in this study was the saturated sampling (census) method in which all populations in the study were selected. The results showed that there were significant income differences before and after receiving agricultural production facilities assistance from the government.
