One of the efforts to achieve national food security is by strengthening assistance and counseling to farmers as the main actors. One of the extension links closest to the community and located at the sub-district level is the Peratanian Extension Center (BPP). The function and role of BPP is developed to achieve the desired expectations, namely food self-sufficiency and improvement of farmer welfare. Therefore, there is a need for a special study to be able to determine the level of responsiveness, responsibility and quality of agricultural extension services carried out by the BPP in Sidenreng Rappang Regency. This reserch aims to determine the performance of agricultural extension agents in Sidenreng Rappang Regency in terms of the level of accountability of agricultural extension activities based on indicators of responsiveness, responsibility and quality of extension services. The research was conducted from July to October in Sidenreng Rappang Regency. This research used a survey method. Determination of the sample of this study was carried out purposively on extension workers at the local BPP. Data collected descriptively by cross tabulation. Data analysis used scoring parameters, proportion, maximum, minimum and average values. The results show that the agricultural instructor's Performance Score is 294 which is interpreted into a moderate category score, which means that the ability of the BPP is sufficient to be able to recognize the needs of the assisted farmers, is sufficient to develop extension programs / activities that are in accordance with the wishes / aspirations of local farmers, and sufficient in providing service to farmers.

The method used in this research is survey method, the sample is determined by purposive sampling., The form of qualitative descriptive analysis with the first stage is checking the data, in this activity it is carried out after conducting an interview (filling out a list of questions). Based on the results of the research, the performance of agricultural extension services at the Moa Subdistrict BPP in developing buffalo farming in the research village is running well but not yet optimal. This is because the quantity of extension workers is still small and the quality of the timeliness of extension workers in completing the work is not good because the amount of work to be done is not balanced with the quantity of extension workers. In addition, there is still a lack of infrastructure for extension workers such as the posluhdes (Village Extension Officer).

Acceleration of food self-sufficiency, especially rice, can be performed by providing optimal means of production, mechanization, technology, and intensive assistance to farmers. In order for these activities to be successful as expected, the government has intensively involved various parties to provide escort and assistance. One of the factors that determine the success of escorting and mentoring farmers is the involvement of agricultural extension agents. The speed of application of technological innovations and the way of working in agriculture can be channeled properly through extension activities. “Jajar Legowo” rice planting system is one of the innovations in the rice planting model. This system has been being implemented intensively in Pagung Village, Semen District, Kediri Regency. The successful application of “Jajar Legowo” planting system was the object of the study, especially in terms of the involvement of agricultural extension agents in assisting farmers in this village. This research employed descriptive quantitative and qualitative methods through survey.

This research uses a survey method with a descriptive analysis approach and a quantitative paradigm, supplemented with qualitative data information to support and sharpen quantitative analysis. The level of competence of middle rice farmers tends to be low, due to the weak role of agricultural extension workers. The role of the instructor as a communicator, facilitator, educator, and communicator turned out to have a positive effect on increasing the competence of rice farmers. But now these factors tend to be low so that it is still lacking in efforts to increase the competence of rice farmers.

Unit Pelaksana Teknis Balai Penyuluhan Pertanian (UPT BPP) Sukaraja berupaya untuk meningkatkan kinerja penyuluh pertanian guna meningkatkan kualitas penyuluh, sebab kinerja yang negatif akan membawa perubahan tidak baik terhadap peningkatan hasil pertanian di wilayah binaan UPT BPP Sukaraja. Evaluasi kinerja penyuluh di UPT BPP Sukaraja dilaksanakan setiap tiga bulan dan enam bulan sekali. Selama ini, evaluasi dilakukan secara manual, sehingga kegiatan evaluasi tidak dapat dilaksanakan dengan tepat waktu karena terkendala tenaga kerja yang tidak memadai. Model yang digunakan dalam kajian evaluasi kinerja penyuluh pertanian ini menggunakan motede Promethee (Preference Ranking Organizational Method for Enrichment Evaluation). Metode Promethee dilakukan pertama kali dengan menentukan bobot kualitatif alternatif dari setiap kriteria, menentukan tipe fungsi preferensi, menghitung nilai preferensi antar alternatif, menghitung index preferensi, kemudian menghitung nilai leaving flow, entering flow, dan net flow. Hasil penerapan metode ini menghasilkan komposisi rangking atau peringkat penyuluh pertanian yang baik, yaitu penyuluh dengan inisial Sd dengan nilai net flow 1,31106 dan yang membutuhkan pembinaan adalah penyuluh dengan inisial Sj dan Dm dengan nilai net flow -0,81665 dan -0,51111.  Technical Implementation Unit of the Agricultural Extension Center (UPT BPP) Sukaraja supports to improve the performance of extension agents in order to improve the quality of extension agents, because negative performance will bring changes in bad changes to the increase in agricultural yields in the target areas of UPT BPP Sukaraja. The performance evaluation of instructors at UPT BPP Sukaraja is conducted every three months and every six months. So far, evaluations have been carried out manually, so that evaluation activities cannot be carried out in a timely manner because of constraints on inadequate labor. In order to evaluate instructor's performance, a model namely Promethe (Preference Ranking Organizational Method for Enrichment Evaluation) was used. It was started with identifying certain alternatives and types of preferences function, followed by determining preferences value between alternatives. Afterwards, preferences index, leaving and entering value, and net flows should be calculated. The method produces good ranks of agricultural instructors, with initials Sd and a net flow value of 1.31106. Furthermore, it produces extension agents on initials Sj and Dm with Net flow values of -0.81665 and -0.51111.
