We have to admit that by using technology we can get more crop than we use traditional way in farming. We have realize this for long time, also by farmers. But the technology which expensive enough for farmer make their farming is not optimal.

This is also happen to peanut farmer. They get difficult to find good seed to be planted for 100% can grow up. They doubt about the quality of peanut seed that sold in the shop as they found many seeds did not grow up frequently. That is why they pare their peanuts to get good seed. But the other problem is it need long time to pare the peanuts.

For this reason why a vocational high school teacher, Anang Sucipto, creats a simple technology that can be used for farmer in getting best seeds to be planted. actually this machine was a modification of factory machine which was minimize and some parts of the machine were changed.

The modification was done in the stringer which in factory machine use iron stick. This was changed with the other form, it was bumps. With bumps form it can avoid the peanuts seed to be broken when the pare process happen in pare room then seeds will not grow when they were planted. Meanwhile if the stringer was made in bumps form it will give more room for peanut seed when pare process and this is make difference between factory machine and Anang’s Machine.

With low price and low cost in operation many farmers has use this machine and the can see the result the strength of peanut seeds broken was lower than peanut seeds that were gotten from farming shop. This machine also become the first winner of the Contest of Simple Technology that was held in POLITEKNIK Malang some months ago.
