This study has used a survey method with simple random sampling. The number of samples that have been taken is 44 respondents or 55% of the population. The results of this study showed that the total allocation of working time for farmer families was 367.12 HOK / year. In detail, the allocation for agriculture is 56.06 HOK/year and 311.06 HOK/year allocation for non-agricultural.
