Kabupaten Karo merupakan sentra produksi tanaman hortikultura di Sumatera Utara dengan jumlah kelompok tani yang mencapai 3.003 kelompok. Namun hanya 44 kelompok yang berada pada kelas ―Lanjutan‖ sementara sisanya berada di kelas ―Pemula‖. Untuk menganalisis kondisi tersebut, dilakukan penelitian di Kecamatan Barusjahe, sebab daerah tersebut memiliki perkembangan kelompok tani yang paling baik (Bapeluh Kabupaten Karo, 2014). Data diperoleh dari penyuluh dan kelompok tani yang ditentukan dengan metode sensus dan purposive sampling. Selanjutnya data diolah dengan menggunakan metode skoring terhadap 49 indikator untuk menentukan peran penyuluh dan 20 pernyataan positif dan negatif untuk menentukan sikap anggota kelompok tani terhadap peran penyuluh. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa total skor peran penyuluh adalah sebesar 114,53 dan termasuk dalam kategori ―sedang‖, dan 72,22% anggota kelompok tani bersikap positif terhadap peran penyuluh pertanian tersebut. Kondisi tersebut merupakan peluang untuk pengembangan kelompok tani di Kecamatan Barusjahe, namun perlu perbaikan dalam beberapa hambatan seperti kesadaran pengurus dan anggota kelompok, partisipasi anggota kelompok, perencanaan dan pelaksanaan program yang memiliki komoditi berbeda dan areal lahan yang tidak pada satu hamparan, jumlah tenaga penyuluh, kelengkapan dan kesesuaian sarana dan prasarana yang dimiliki. Diharapkan dengan perbaikan hambatan tersebut kelompok tani di Kecamatan Barusjahe dapat mencapai tingkat kelas yang lebih tinggi.   Karo Regency is a center for horticulture production in North Sumatra with a total of 3,003 farmer groups. However, only 44 groups were in the "Continuation" class while the rest were in the "Beginner" class. To analyze these conditions, research was conducted in Barusjahe District, because the area had the best development of farmer groups (Bapeluh Karo District, 2014).

This condition was an opportunity for the development of farmer groups in Barusjahe Subdistrict, but still needed to be improved in several obstacles such as awareness of administrators and group members, group member participation, planning and implementation of programs that had different commodities and land areas that werenot in one overlay and suitability of facilities and infrastructure owned.

From internet through google scholar in the form of books, journal articles and theses related to this research topic namely Assessment of Farmer Groups on the Implementation Function of Agriculture Extension. The results showed that the assessment of farmer groups on the implementation of the function of agricultural instructors is not yet fully functioning, where the new agricultural instructors carry out their functions as initiators, facilitators and motivators. While the function of extension workers as a liaison, analyzer and agent of change has not yet been fully felt by the farmer groups. But on the other hand, according to the agricultural instructor, it has been carrying out its functions to the maximum, it's just that the function as an agent of change cannot be fully carried out. This is because extension agents feel that farmers are able to make changes to advance their own farming business to make it more profitable.*eprm*

In-group favouritism is ubiquitous and previous studies have consistently found that individuals cooperate more with in-group members than out-group members in diverse contexts. Yet, there has not been much research on the role of the nature of groups in intergroup cooperation. A recent study found stronger levels of in-group favouritism amongst groups formed on the basis of shared moral values. However, it remained unclear whether the increased favouritism was caused by a greater tendency to act favourably towards the in-group or derogatorily towards the out-group. The present study thus investigated intergroup cooperation among morality-based and non-morality-based groups and examined the levels of cooperation with an in-group member and an out-group member as compared to a person whose group membership was unknown. Regardless of how groups were formed, in-group favouritism was present, while out-group derogation was absent. Furthermore, we found that the shared morality promoted in-group cooperation indirectly via low perceived out-group warmth. Our study provides further evidence that in-group favouring behaviour does not include derogating out-groups and points to the importance of further investigation into the role of the shared morality in intergroup cooperation.
