Irrigation has been practiced for a long time in Asian countries, including Indonesia. This study examines the differences in the profiles of rice farmers in irrigated and non-technically irrigated lowland rice. The characteristics studied included demographic characteristics, social, economic, and cultural characteristics, as well as lowland rice productivity. The research was conducted using a survey method. The location selection was made deliberately. Three villages represent farmers with rice fields that have technical irrigation, namely Central Timur, Tirta Sari, and Tirta Jaya villages and three villages that do not have technical irrigation, namely the villages of Rusa Kencana, Mansahang, and Central Timur. From each village, because not all of the people were farmers, 20 respondents who only had lowland rice farming were selected. The determination of the respondent farmers was selected using the stratified random sampling method. The results showed that farmers in the Singkoyo Irrigation Area had a distribution of productive age (41- 50 years) with the highest level of education being elementary schools and on average being farmers who owned their land. Proportionally, there are no significant differences in the demographic, socio-economic, and cultural characters of the villages that are irrigated and those that are not. Character differences exist in the aspect of land area and land ownership status. The number of respondent farmers in villages that have access to technical irrigation that has more than one hectare of land is more than respondents in villages that do not have access to technical irrigation. On the other hand, the number of respondents who own land is more in villages in villages that have access to technical irrigation than respondents who are in villages that do not have access to technical irrigation. The highest productivity of lowland rice is found in villages that have access to technical irrigation water, namely in Central Timur, Tirtasari, and Tirta Jaya villages compared to villages that do not have access to technical irrigation water, namely in the villages of Rusa Kencana, Mansahang, and Jaya Kencana.
