This study aims to analyze the readiness of BPP in realizing the KOSTRATANI program. The research method is quantitative descriptive. Based on the results of the study, the P value <0.05 of each variable with a variable value of <0.05, indicating the validity of the instrument and the reliability test showing that each variable is said to be reliable (reliable) because the respondents’ answers to the questions are consistent or stable. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the readiness of the institution has a ready level, the readiness of human resources has a ready level, information readiness has a ready level, the readiness of information technology infrastructure has a ready level, and the readiness of the external environment has a ready level.


Introduction
The President of the Republic of Indonesia mandated that the Minister of Agriculture be asked to be able to meet the food needs of 267 million people throughout Indonesia.To carry out the President's mandate, the Minister of Agriculture outlined the program strategy, namely by building one agricultural data in one Big Data system and supporting agricultural extension and Agricultural Extension Centers (BPP) in sub-districts.Data is the main force in future food security, so policies, programs and development activities in the agricultural sector must be based on accurate field data and information.
BPP as the center for agricultural development movements and services in the District, needs to optimize its duties, functions and roles, by strengthening data and information with an IT-based system so that it can be controlled properly by the Ministry of Agriculture.The Strategic Command for Agricultural Development (KOSTRATANI) at BPP is the center of the movement that will determine success agricultural development through coordination, synergy, and harmonization of agricultural development activities in the District.
Related to this, technically the agricultural extension workers at BPP will be strengthened with the ability to identify potential, explore, analyze and present agricultural data and information.Data and information are presented through digital media that are able to describe field conditions such as predicting when to harvest, standing crop position, pest and disease attacks and how to control them, cultivation technology, opportunities and information on domestic and foreign market dynamics, to information on the movement of agricultural machinery (Alsintan) and others.For this reason, BPP as KOSTRATANI must be supported by solid institutions, professional personnel, and the implementation of IT-based extension functions in order to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of farming so that agricultural production can increase productivity, production, income and welfare of farmers.This level of BPP readiness is an absolute requirement in achieving the desired goals, including the readiness of employees to change deserves attention because it is they who will support, promote, or reject and hinder organizational change [1].Readiness for change is negatively related to resistance to change [2], which is negatively related to success of change [3,4].Therefore, it is very important to analyze the level of readiness as one of the main factors responsible for organizational change and understand the factors that influence it [5].In this study, we investigated institutional readiness, human resource readiness, information technology infrastructure readiness, and environmental readiness, in realizing Kostratani Program.

Research methods
The research location is at UPT BPP Agriculture Bonto-Bonto Region, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi.In research this have one informant key and three informant main.Types of research this is descriptive Quantitative.The preparation stage is to check the completeness of the contents of the instrument study.Validity and reliability test phase, validity test is needed to prove that the research instrument used is valid.While the reliability test is needed to show the consistency of the measuring instrument in measuring the same symptoms on other occasions.Test the validity and reliability of the instrument in this study using the Product Moment and Cronbach Alpha formulas with the help of the SPSS for windows version 24 program.The instrument in this study will be tested on a sample where the population is taken, namely all staff and employees of BPP Bonto-Bonto, namely 16 staff members.Assessment, Assessment of the level of readiness of each indicator is carried out by calculating the mean (average) value of the scores in the questionnaire.

BPP's readiness in realizing the KostratanI Analysis Program (E-Readiness)
Research instruments are tools that are selected and used by researchers in their collecting activities so that these activities become systematic and facilitated by them.The instrument as a tool in using the data collection method is the data from the questionnaire related to the BPP readiness analysis in order to realize the KOSTRATANI program in this study, it will first be tested using the Validity Test and Reliability Test.

Validity Test.
Testing the validity using the product moment formula from Pearson which is done by looking at the value < 0.05 of each variable.If the value of the variable <0.05, it indicates the validity of the instrument.The results of the validity test by SPSS can be seen in table 20 below:  2, all statements on the questionnaire are considered reliable because the value of Cronbach's Alpha Based on Standardized Items on each variable is > 0.60.The following is an explanation of the segment and assessment components used in this study:

Institution Readiness
This segment is used to measure the readiness of agricultural extension centers in the implementation of the boarding house program, in this segment there are 29 assessment components, but used in this study are 15 components because there are 14 components that are deemed inappropriate to the situation at institution.The components that are not used are: Number of employees, ICT enterprise core business, Potential for exporting ICT services and products, Market share of company, Information value perception for productivity and profitability, Comparison of senior information management post with similar posts in the enterprise, Existence of separate information management unit, Information /ICT strategy revision plans, Integration of ICTs throughout business of the enterprise, Online business transactions implementation in the organization, Adequacy of electricity power supply, Impact of use of ICT on for example productivity, profitability, and cost reduction, Methods for promoting ICT products and services, and Readiness to partake in the internet age.The adjustments are as follows: In Table 4 shows that there are 4 informants who state the level of readiness of the BPP institution Very Unprepared with a percentage of 25%, there are 4 informants stating Not Ready with a percentage of 25%, there are 4 informants stating Ready with a percentage of 31.25%, and 3 people stated Very Ready with a percentage of 18.75%.Based on the calculations in Table, the level of readiness of the BPP institution for the Kostratani program is included in the Ready category.This is because there are guidelines for the boarding program distributed by the ministry of agriculture as a reference for implementing activities that are centered on all BPP institutions in South Sulawesi, including the UPT BPP Agriculture area of the Bonto Bonto Region, Gowa Regency.Kostratani as the center of the agricultural development movement, carries out flagship activities of the Ministry of Agriculture such as Propaktani, Gedor Horti, Gratieks, Farmers Corporations and so on.The targets are farmer groups, Gapoktan, Women Farmers Groups, Millennial Farmers and Farmer Economic Institutions (KEP).One of these roles has been carried out by forming an agricultural extension team to improve BPP institutions and farmer group institutions spread across the Bonto-Bonto area, Gowa District.
Another thing that extension workers do is to involve farmers with other groups.In addition to distributing materials to farmers, extension workers also provide training to farmer group administrators and farmer group associations.This is done so that farmers can take care of the organization of farmer groups and farmer groups in managing the resources they have.In addition, the extension workers also formed a board to manage the distribution of irrigation water in the local area.The extension worker formed a P3A (Water-Using Farmers' Association).This arrangement is made so that water, which is the most important resource in a farming business, can be distributed evenly so as to reduce conflicts.This kind of effort was similar with [7] research whom emphasis that institutional support had a significant influence on the adoption of conservation farming components.

Human Resources Readiness.
In this section, the readiness of human resources in BPP will be measured.In this segment, there are 19 assessment components.However, used in this study are 11 assessment components.Here are the adjustments:

No Indicator Adjustment 1 Ability to determine own information needs
The ability of BPP staff in determine the required information 2 Ability to evaluate information and its sources The ability of BPP staff in evaluate the information along with the source 3 Ability to manage and maintain information The ability of BPP staff in manage and maintain information 4 Ability to access, analyze, and use information The ability of BPP staff in access, analyze and use information 5 Staff understanding of benefits of wellorganized and managed information BPP staff understanding will the benefits of information managed by good 6 Staff success rates in searching and retrieving information The ability of BPP staff in information retrieval To find out the level of readiness of human resources at BPP for the boarding program, see: Table 6 shows that there are 5 informants who state the level of readiness of the BPP institution Very Unprepared with a percentage of 31.25%,there are 4 informants stating Not Ready with a percentage of 25%, there are 6 informants stating Ready with a percentage of 37, 5%, and 1 person stated Very Ready with a percentage of 6.25%.Based on the calculations in Table 16, the level of readiness of human resources at BPP for the Kostratani program included in the Ready category.
In maintaining professionalism in carrying out their duties as agricultural extension workers, in this case the extension workers are active in carrying out their duties and establish good communication with farmers so that farmers participate in extension activities.To improve the ability to manage communication, extension workers must improve their ability to seek innovation information through various sources of information, understand the innovations needed by farmers, and communicate them in language that is easy to understand and carried out in a dialogical manner.The role of agricultural extension workers is very important, especially in overcoming the problems of farmers in the field towards increasing productivity and farmers' welfare.Therefore, the low competence of agricultural extension workers is a challenge for all parties, especially the government (central and regional), extension institutions, universities that prepare extension workers, as well as the relevant extension personnel, because government extension personnel is the primary providers of agricultural advice [8].

Information Readiness.
In this section, the readiness of information in BPP will be assessed.In this information readiness segment there are 21 assessment indicators and in this study the author uses 13 assessment components.Here are the adjustments: Compliance with information management practice eg backups

Availability of information backup procedures
To find out the level of information in BPP on the boarding program, see: In Table 8 shows that there are 6 informants who state the level of information readiness of BPP Very Unprepared with a percentage of 37.5 %, there are 2 informants stating Not Ready with a percentage of 12.5 %, there are 7 informants stating Ready with a percentage of 43.75 %, and 1 person stated Very Ready with a percentage of 6.25%.Based on the calculations in Table 8, the level of information readiness at BPP for the Kostratani program is included in the Ready category.Agriculture War Room (AWR) became the icon of the Kostratani program.This agricultural war room was specially built to monitor the development of agricultural development in the regions.In fact, AWR has become a data center and control system to accelerate technology-based national agricultural development.By the motto that the former Governor of South Sulawesi continues to echo, namely advanced, independent and modern agriculture, AWR is a part that is being pioneered by the Ministry of Agriculture to the regions.
This technology can improve the quality and quantity of production in the agricultural industry with the existence of big data, machine learning and the internet of things.The application of smart farming in AWR is also useful as a measuring tool in monitoring as well as a tool in mapping national land areas.Thus, it is clear the development of each agricultural commodity from each region throughout Indonesia. of course, to present agricultural statistical data that is more valid, comprehensive and real time.This AWR is designed to be multi-purpose and one of them is to monitor agricultural conditions at the subdistrict and village levels.So far, it must be admitted, it is difficult to monitor progress manually, it even takes a long time.With the internet of things and artificial intelligence from the input of measuring data in the field, area mapping can be done from the central level.Governments and policymakers must use information and communication technology to enhance the capacity-building potential of agricultural 1230 (2023) 012009 IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1230/1/0120098 extension systems and adaptation training.This investment is crucial for long-term agricultural development because it encourages farmers to adopt techniques that reduce their susceptibility [9].

Readiness of Information Technology
Infrastructure.In this section, the readiness of BPP's information technology infrastructure will be assessed.In this segment of infrastructure readiness there are 22 assessment indicators and in this study the author uses 13 assessment components.The adjustments are as follows: Kostratani program is included in the Ready category.This is because each field extension officer on duty in their respective areas has an android cellphone that is able to access the internet and share the results of field work in the form of files that are connected to the AWR BPP server.
The use of information and communication technology has the potential to strengthen the connection between extension, research, and farmers.This technology can be a means for research organizations to convey new research findings to extension workers, who can then pass the information on to farmers.Farmers can also utilize the same platform to share feedback on new technologies from their field experiences with extension workers, who will then transfer the information to research institutes for necessary action [9].BPP has also provided several computer equipment as well as an adequate internet access network so that it can be used as a supporting tool for storing data resulting from activities.Mrs. Nurhayati SP who is the Head of UPT BPP Bonto-Bonto Region as well as person in charge of Kostratani activities at UPT BPP Bonto-Bonto Region said that currently several information infrastructures have been prepared for Kostratani Program activities such as Porang Plant Pilot Land, hydronic houses, computer rooms and training.counseling, etc.This is the main driver of decreased farm profitability [10].However, at some point, the productivity gains from farmer adaptation tend to offset negative long-term impacts [11].All of this is done to realize agricultural development through the Kostratani Program.

External Environment Readiness.
In this section, the readiness of the external environment supporting BPP will be assessed.In this readiness segment there are 21 assessment indicators and in this study the author uses 7 assessment components.The adjustments are as follows: Table 12 shows that there are 2 informants who state the level of readiness for Information Technology Infrastructure at BPP Very Unprepared with a percentage of 12.5 %, 3 informants are stating Not Ready with a percentage of 18.75 %, 10 informants are stating Ready with a percentage of 62.5 %, and 1 person stated Very Ready with a percentage of 6.25 %.Based on the calculations in Table 16, the level of readiness of Information Technology Infrastructure at BPP for the Kostratani program is included in the Ready category.Mrs. Nurhayati SP, who is the Head of UPT BPP Bonto-Bonto Region as well as person in charge of Kostratani activities at UPT BPP Bonto-Bonto Region, said that currently BPP has provided policies and regulations regarding services in the BPP work unit, including Counseling Services.The number of agricultural extension workers who conduct/organize Extension in Gowa Regency in 18 sub-districts with a total of 121 villages and 46 sub-districts and the Gowa Agriculture Service is a work unit for Agricultural Extension.The functional staff consists of 10 people in the district, at the village/kelurahan level = 60 civil servants and freelance daily workers (THL -TBPP) = 64 people.In addition to counseling services, Saprodi Services are also carried out in order to facilitate agricultural extension operational services at the sub-district/village/kelurahan level, TPK institutions, BRI KIOS, Village units play an important role according to the service function of each.Agricultural extension agents not only educate farmers on current agricultural techniques and introduce them to new ways of farming in order to boost productivity.They also help farmers organize associations and connect them with finance institutions and other agricultural stakeholders [12].Communication is at the core of all extension activities in research and its relationship with farmers, the complexity of innovation and the availability of quality extension agents in communication and the strategies used by extension agents will bring about innovation and facilitate the adaptation of complex new agricultural technologies [13].Communication skills are considered the most desirable skills in agricultural extension [14].New agricultural innovations will always give rise to new communication tasks, and this will require the necessary communication skills and strategies [15].Therefore, good agricultural extension will always be based on deep communication skills and knowledge of extension workers [16].
