	age farm in Information Technology By Anton Muhajir Around ten years ago, mobile phone (mobile phone) is still so rare. He became something that once synonymous with luxury. At that time, to see people take mobile phones as people look to the socio-economic status is very high. But also not necessarily so. Now the phone is serasa nuts. Nearly no people who can not buy it. Pemulung, traders asongan, a florist in the market. Overall already carry a mobile phone. Sometimes it is useful for the work. However, few of them not only to bring just-style. Oh yes, the phone is still a part of the lifestyle. Hence not a few who bought the phone just for the sake of prestige, bukang function. That the only mobile phone to talk to other people who separate the distance, now can also be used for listening to music, access the internet, to watching TV. Saking many functions on the phone, now more people can buy rather than to use it properly. Weird .. While many functions on a phone that can be used for the work. For example in agriculture. This is based on pengalamanku themselves in the field. In fact the use of information technology can support the business of agriculture, both production and trading agricultural commodities. The first example is the Farmers Group in the Youth Self Pancasari Village, Buleleng Regency, Bali. Young people can be successful here because farming is the internet. They got the computer and internet support from Microsoft. Then, technology is used to find the reference about the practice of organic agriculture. They also changed the practice of agricultural chemicals with high-Feed to organic agriculture. Result, their agricultural products more healthy and abundant. Because the organic, the price is more expensive. Their products such as tomato, paprika, and mustard greens are now sold to companies for the flight catering services in Bali. Thanks to the internet, omzet income until they can now tens of millions per month. This is not the impossible to be implemented in other places. If the computer and internet connection is still expensive, the phone might be answers. Soalnya, yet the phone can now also access to the internet. The price is also relatively affordable. So, the farmers also why it is not too difficult to use the technology of legal marriage between same intenet this phone. By accessing the Internet through mobile phones, farmers can learn from the experience of farmers in other areas to increase agricultural production. Farmers in Bedugul, for example, have been learning about the practices of organic agriculture with irrigation technology drops from farmers in India. Not only for production. Mobile phone, without even an internet connection, can also be used to ease the farmers' agricultural products. This experience of farmers in Lalanglinggah Village, West District Selemadeg, Tabanan. Around 4,000 cocoa farmers in this area is now more can determine the market price of the products because they have information on the market price of New York. The price they get from PT Big Tree Farm, a company that mengadvokasi marketing their products, the price to get it via the Internet. By PT Big Tree Farm price is then distributed to Kelian (chairman) farmer groups through the service short message service (SMS). Be this a chain SMS to other farmers. There is a market price of New York that make local farmers have more bargaining position when they sell their products pertaniannya. This is also done with farmers in the South assisted the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the private sector division of the World Bank. The difference, if in the Tabanan Bali SMS is still one direction, then in the South has two directions. Farmers in the South can also ask how much the market price of cocoa in the world at that time also. Simply send an SMS to a certain number, then the farmers will soon get information cocoa prices in New York and London, which was then compared with the dollar and how the local market. Awareness of farmers to use information technology in the farm itself was already a global awareness. Not only in Indonesia. Economic Information Reports from the United Nations Conference for Trade and Development (UNCTAD) show a positive economic impact for all parties involved in the trade, including the small farmers from remote areas. According to the report, the use of information and communication technology contribute to the huge growth of information technology because this can change the pattern of trade in agricultural commodities, the local market. Research by UNCTAD in various regions in Africa show that the farmer can sell the commodities with higher prices because farmers easily get the price information via SMS or internet. There is indeed more fun, because it is supported also by the portal that combines a variety of services such as internet, SMS, and radio. So in the portal sau have different information in different forms of related agricultural commodities-related products. One is TradeNet, which operated since 2004. Portal offers online data on 600 markets in 17 African countries related to agricultural commodities. All information, including quotes and questions, can be sent through SMS on mobile phone, and also stored on this site. So farmers can know the world and local prices easily. Now go back to Indonesia. Not impossible I do that all, in which farmers can benefit directly in the practice of blessing pertaniannya information technology. There are some indicators. Among others, continue to increase in the number of mobile phone users, the cheapness price mobile phone subscription service, the mobile phone canggihnya with technology convergence, and all the convenience that is now more easily found. All this is evidence that the ease of farming in the era of information technology is not a dream
