Abstract

Gedawang Village is one of the villages that has a large enough production of beans and corn. However, because farmers are still processing in the traditional way, the sales results are not optimal. Meanwhile, the market demand for peanuts is quite a lot. The same is done when processing corn. In addition, the large amount of grass that grows around the peanut and corn fields is a cheap feed ingredient for goats and cows as long as they can process them independently. So far, every time the animal breeders finish weeding the grass, they are given it directly to their livestock without cutting it first. As a result, small livestock will find it difficult to eat the feed. The agricultural product processing equipment industry has indeed provided many tools to speed up the processing of agricultural products, but the price of the tools is still very expensive. In addition, each tool on average can only perform one function only. For this reason, this activity was carried out to answer the problems faced by farmers. The team provided additional knowledge and skills as well as purchasing materials to assemble production machines to process these agricultural products. There are at least four processes that can be carried out with this assembly machine, namely cutting animal feed, threshing beans, peeling beans and shelling corn.
