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.

The advancement of agriculture sector in one region cannot be separated from the role of agricultural extension in the region. To cover the deficiency of agricultural extension agents, self-supporting extension agents are recruited from farmers or private parties. This study aims to analyze the role of self-supporting instructors in improving farmer institutions and analyze factors related to the role of self-supporting extension agents in improving farmer institutions. This research was a qualitative descriptive study, and it was conducted in West Pasaman and Sijunjung Regency with a sample of 38 people. The results showed that self-supporting instructors play a significant role in improving farmer institutions; this is seen from 78% of self-supporting extension agents have a role in increasing farmer institutions. Factors related to the role of self-supporting extension agents in improving farmer institutions are (1) the age of agents, (2) the number of partners from farmer groups, and (3) the frequency of training attended by self-supporting extension agents. To increase the role of self-extension extension agents in the institutional development of farmers, it is recommended that institutions who manage the agricultural extension recruit self-supporting extension agents from the millennial generation and facilitate self-supporting extension agents to be able to participate in training related to farming in the agent's area of work.
