This study aims to explain the distribution network of cow’s milk and its impact on farmers’ income on the slopes of Merapi. The research uses a qualitative approach. The research is located in Wukirsari Village, Cangkringan District, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta. The subject of this research is the farmer-herder community in the Cangkringan District. The informants consisted of 7 farmers, eight distributors, and three koperasi employees, and the study was conducted for 2 months. The data collection techniques were interviews, observations, and documentation. The validity of the data is tested through source and method triangulation techniques. Data is analyzed qualitatively, including data collection, condensation, presentation, and conclusion. Farmers are assisted by cooperatives in the milk production process, from cow care to milking. The co-operative is a means of supporting the income of dairy farmers. Milk distribution in Wukirsari is carried out by cooperatives to milk agents, milk processing industries, culinary milk, and directly to consumers. Farmers’ income in Wukirsari depends on the daily milk farmers’ deposit or value. However, the income is still insufficient to meet the needs because the cost of cow care and cow feed cuts it. Therefore, farmers make up for the lack of needs with part-time jobs such as collecting wood, selling calves, and selling grass.

Cattle farming on the slopes of Mount Merapi is a livelihood sector that has existed for a long time, and is a tradition inherited from generation to generation. Cattle farming on the slopes of Mount Merapi or more precisely in Cangkringan District, Sleman Regency not only requires green food, but also concentrates and supplements. The provision of concentrates and supplement has been carried out by bombardment. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce another way to provide nutritions for cows, which has several advantages compared to feeding, namely giving concentrate candy. concentrate candy has several advantages, such as, it can be made using ingredients found around the farmer, and portions of the candy can be used to provide nutrition for a certain period of time, for example one month, so the farmer does not have to bother with bombardment everyday. This is the basis for carrying out community service in the form of training in making concentrate candy for cows. This community service program is implemented through a series of activities which includes socialization, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), and training/simulation. The socialization was carried out with explanations by an animal nutrition expert about the ingredients and contents of the candy, and continued with discussion and practice in making candy with facilitation and supervision from the community service team and cow feed expert. With this program, it is hoped that the community will be developed, empowered, and independent, so that they can implement this program in a sustainable manner.

The 2023 new regulations for ASN (public civil servants) have caused changes and anxiety for teachers. With this new regulation, all ASN will have functional positions which are expected to make regulations and promotion processes easier and simpler. ASN teachers will focus on organizational performance achievements, whereas previously, to apply for a promotion, civil servants focused on fulfilling credit or DUPAK numbers which were too administrative and troublesome. However, many teachers' career problems are now increasingly unclear due to the publication of this new policy. So, there is a need for activities to accompany teachers in strengthening their careers after the implementation of the new policy. The implementation method used in this community service program is socialization and mentoring. With this program, it is hoped that middle school social studies teachers throughout Batang Regency can understand the new regulations and plan their career paths appropriately.
