Farmers are reluctant to plant because if they plant, water 1 availability is limited, so this will provide considerable risk to their business. • Strategy to reduce the impact of drought is to provide information about alternative crops that can be planted, as well as information on how to plant good crops. • Some selected commodities, namely watermelon, melon, mustard greens and 2 kale. Farm analysis from Kale, Mustard Mustard Kale Watermelon Melon Greens, Watermelon and Melon Greens per Hectare Cost (Rp) 17,153,500 9,526,000 34,277,100 60,627,000 • Melon is the highest Revenue expenditure in cultivation per hectare, it is Rp 60 million, then Quantity 1,773 2,400 25,000 40,000 watermelon around Rp 34 bundle kg kg kg million. Then, kale and mustard greens, each is Rp 17 million Price per unit 15,000 5,000 2,300 2,500 and 9 million. (Rp) • Harvest periods is around 4 months. Income of melon is the 26,595,000 12,000,000 57,500,000 100,000,000 highest than others, meanwhile the less is mustard greens. Income (Rp) • Base on this table, return cost ratio (RCR) of melon is the 9,441,500 2,474,000 23,222,900 76,200,000 highest than others. RCR 1.55 1.26 1.68 4.20 BCR 0.55 0.26 0.68 3.20 CONCLUSION • About 10.53 percent in Surade, Sukabumi Regency and 11.54 percent in Cipatujah, Tasikmalaya Regency are classified as poor based on the poverty line according to BPS. • The cropping pattern strategy is expected to increase farmers' income in the form of rice-rice-horticulture (CGRT). Usually in the third season farmers in these areas did not cultivate any crops in their land, to increase farmers' income, in the third season farmers are advised to plant horticulture crops, such as watermelon, melon, mustard greens and kale. Farmers who have modal, they can plant melon or water melon, but for farmers with limited modal, they can cultivate kale and mustard greens. SUGGESTION • Farmers need the role of extension agents to be able to adopt the technology offered and educate farmers to plant other crops other than rice, that is, plants that are more profitable than rice, such as watermelon, melon, mustard greens and kale to mitigation of drought in South of West Java.
