ABSTRACT
Batu Galing Sub-District is a sub-district located in Rejang Lebong Regency, which has only recently been bustling with residents. Previously this kelurahan was only an agricultural area which was only visited by residents when they were cultivating. The livelihoods of the population are mostly farmers and some are civil servants, traders and craftsmen, and so on. One of the agricultural products that are widely available in Batu Galing Village is sweet corn. Bearing in mind that sweet corn is a commodity that quickly deteriorates, it is necessary to find alternatives to deal with excessive product. One alternative solution to this problem is to process sweet corn into lunkhead. The low motivation and knowledge of Batu Galing Village farmers about making sweet corn dodol must be improved through counseling and training. On this basis, the teaching staff of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Muhammadiyah Bengkulu, chose this location as a target for community service. To expedite community service activities, the service team is assisted by students who are carrying out KKN. The approach method used in this program, using counseling and demonstration methods for making sweet corn dodol
