Terjadinya pergeseran nilai-nilai budaya masyarakat dari tradisional ke dalam masyarakat modern berdampak luas, antara lain pada budaya kerja pertanian. Tujuan kajian ini menganalisis hubungan antara fenomena petani milenial dengan upaya konservasi budaya kerja bertani di kalangan petani. Bekerja adalah salah satu unsur dari tujuh unsur universal kebudayaan. Peneliti menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dan teknik penggalian data dengan observasi, partisipasi-observasi, dan wawancara mendalam. Hasil dan pembahasan menunjukkan bahwa pekerjaan bidang pertanian mengalami kekurangan tenaga kerja karena berbagai alasan. Hal ini dianggap mengkhawatirkan karena masa depan sebagai negara agraris akan kehilangan motor penggerak. Kemudian muncul inovasi gagasan dan aksi melakukan konservasi budaya kerja bertani agar aktivitas bertani tetap berjalan. Inovasi dan aksi ini dilakukan oleh petani kaya, pemerintah desa, dan generasi muda. Muncul juga fenomena petani milenial yang memanfaatkan kemajuan teknologi informasi. Sebagai saran, inovasi ini patut dicontoh oleh masyarakat petani lain sehingga anggapan bahwa bertani merupakan pekerjaan rendah yang kotor oleh lumpur dan penghasilan rendah bisa sedikit demi sedikit hilang.

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.

JADAM is an organic farming method that has been proven to empower farmers, not only allowing farmers to make their own fertilizers and pesticides, but also returning farmers to become experts in agriculture and their own land because of the experiments and introduction of biological potential in the environment they observe. The purpose of this article is to develop a JADAM model that is adjusted to the availability of materials in the surrounding environment. It is done under the concept of organic farming, and community empowerment. This article is developed from the results of a community service activities. The findings of the research show that there are three ways of making organic fertilizer from materials found the surrounding, namely household organic waste, leaf shoots, and a combination of waste to make organic NPK.
