Corn is a sustainability crop commodity that has the potential to contribute to the growth and progress of the agricultural industry. The objective of this research is to examine the various factors that impact maize production on dry and wet soils, compare the relationship between maize yield and income on dry and wet lands, and assess the sustainability of maize in the Mekikis village of Purwoasri district. Descriptive and statistical analyzes (double regression analysis), enterprise feasibility analysis, and differential tests of averages (independent sample t-test) comprise the method of analysis in this study. Nonproportional stratified random sampling was utilized to obtain a sample size of 64 respondents, 32 of whom were wetland farmers and 32 of whom were dry land farmers. The attributes of the farmers who participated in the research encompassed gender, age, most recent educational attainment, primary occupation, family count, land area ownership, and land area. The results of the double linear regression analysis indicate that both the land area and labor force significantly impact maize production on moist soil. The impact of various factors such as land area, seeds, inorganic fertilisers, and pesticides on maize production in arid soil is substantial. The results of the independent sample t-test indicate a statistically significant difference between the yield and income of maize grown in moist and dry soils. specifically, the profit on maize is Rs. 1,624,218,099.94, while the yield on maize in dry soils is 1,899.87 per kilogramme. The usability analysis of maize indicates that the R/C ratio differs when the soil is moist versus when it is dry.
