Farmer women play an important role in farming activities to increase rice production. In the process of rice farming, rice fields always involve women, therefore women are considered very important. Women are able to divide their time even behind their busy lives as housewives. The importance of this study is to analyze the contribution of peasant women to rice farming families, factors that influence the magnitude of these contributions and the level of welfare of rice farming families in Patapan Village. This research was conducted in Patapan Village, Torjun District, Sampang Regency. The respondents in this study were all peasant women who had families and owned their own cultivated rice fields and worked as farmers totaling 30 people. The first objective is analyzed using the scale of land tenure. The second objective was analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The third objective was analyzed using a household expenditure approach using the sajogyo criterion. The results showed that the income of rice farming women to family income of 41.71% means that the contribution of peasant women is dominant and quite significant. The second objective of the results of multiple linear regression analysis was obtained that partially the income of farm women (Y) influenced by variables X1, X2, X3, X4 and X5 had a real or significant influence on the income of women farm workers (Y) by 78.4% and the remaining 21.6% was influenced by other variables that were not studied. The degree of welfare of the farmer's family is obtained from the calculation of per capita expenditure of 486.8 kg equivalent to rice / year, meaning that the farmer's household life is sufficient.

INTRODUCTION Natural resources contribute greatly to the development and welfare of society. Agriculture is a natural resource that has great potential in Indonesia as an agricultural country. The agricultural sector plays a very important role in the development of Indonesia's development as a source of life, food provider, and income for farming families. The existence of great potential in the agricultural sector does not cover the economic problems faced by rural communities where the majority make a living in farming. Various problems are experienced, including among women as housewives. The contribution of women working in the agricultural sector is not something new in society. The origin of agriculture dates back to the history of the division of labor between men and women, where hunting and gathering forest products was a man's job while doing household chores and farming around the house was a woman's job. Because of the increasingly advanced society, agricultural business is settled and carried out by men and women. The basic needs of the community encourage the entry of women workers into the agricultural sector. Several things cause women to try to earn income,including, there is an independent willingness in the economic sector to try to finance their living needs and support their families and the wider employment opportunities that absorb female labor. Peasant women's resources are one of the great potential in contributing labor to production activities. Farmer women play an important role in farming activities to increaserice production (Rahmah & Wati, 2018)
