Kerugian Banjir Lamongan Capai Rp. 14,6 M

Lamongan - Total kerugian akibat banjir yang kini telah menerjang 7 kecamatan di Lamongan telah mencapai Rp. 14,6 Miliar. Data mengenai
kerugian ini seperti yang dilansir oleh pemkab
Lamongan. Data yang dihimpun detiksurabaya.com dari BNPD Lamongan menyebutkan,
kerugian terbesar disebabkan oleh banjir yang juga
menerjang areal
tambak di Lamongan. Kabag Humas dan Protokol Pemkab Lamongan,
Anang Taufik kepada detiksurabaya.com mengatakan, hingga saat ini areal tambak yang sudah
terendam banjir sudah mencapai kurang lebih 7.330
hektar sawah tambak.
"Ini jumlah total sawah tambak yang terkena banjir
yang ada di 7
kecamatan," ujarnya. Sawah tambak yang terparah terkena banjir, terang
Anang, adalah sawah
tambak yang ada di Kecamatan Karang Binangun
dan Kecamatan Glagah. Di
kecamatan Karang Binangun mencapai Rp. 1.600
hektar dan kecamatan Glagah yang mencapai 1.950 hektar. Sedangkan untuk wilayah lain, lanjut Anang, adalah
kecamatan
Kalitengah 1.246 ha, kecamatan Deket 1.083 ha,
Kecamatan Turi 1.055
ha, Kecamatan Modo 368 ha dan kecamatan kota
Lamongan 28 ha. Kerugian akibat banjir yang mencapai Rp. 14,6 Miliar
tersebut, terang
Anang, karena kebanyakan sawah tambak tersebut
diisi ikan bandeng dan
udang vaname yang sebenarnya sudah siap panen.
"Sehingga kerugian terbesar memang dari sana," ujarnya. Sementara, salah seorang petani tambak yang ada di
Kecamatan Turi,
Dono mengatakan, sebenarnya ikan bandeng dan
udang vaname miliknya
sudah hampir panen tapi tiba-tiba saja diterjang
banjir. "Kami memang sudah berusaha memasang jaring di tiap pematang
tapi ternyata tidak
cukup," ungkapnya. Saat ini, Dono dan para petani lainnya hanya bisa
pasrah menghadapi
banjir kali ini. Mereka hanya berharap agar banjir
cepat surut
sehingga bisa segera dipanen. "Kalau sekarang tidak
memungkinkan untuk dipanen," pungkas Dono.

Article Writing Tips to Use

Article Writing Tips to Use

Writing by Nick Stamoulis    ShareThis

Great writing skills are one of those things that just takes time to acquire. With repetition over time your article writing skills will get better but in the interim try some of these approaches to strengthen your talents.

Here is a list of article writing tips that I recommend that you consider using:

Article Writing Tip#1 – Be Edgy
Great articles sometimes push the boundaries on what society thinks is too much. Don’t worry about offending anyone with your writing. Some of the best pieces of literature where not created to appeal to everyone but rather a certain group. Even if it is too edgy and some people feel it might be offensive they might still push it around because great writing is often times respected even if the readers don’t agree with the concepts or thoughts.

Article Writing Tip#2 – Use Keywords Tastefully
I know it sounds very cliché to say to use keywords in your article but the key component is using them with taste. I often times see articles being written where it is evident that the keywords are the focus of the article. The article should be the focus of the article and keywords should be used as an ingredient to make that a great piece of literature to read for any industry veteran.

Article Writing Tip#3 – Layout
Your article should be easy to read. If it is difficult to read than people are going to zone out real quickly. The layout should be chunked into segments with labeled H1 tags so people can skip to what they want to read. Most people in today’s society will scan quickly through the content and pick out bits and pieces of what they want to read.

Article Writing Tip#4 – Answer The Question
Most articles have some sort of view point they are trying to convey, make sure yours conveys that message otherwise you can find yourself running out of steam in your article. Your article needs to entice other readers to question your theory or agree with it, thus leaving behind comments and creating a social aspect.
Article writing is something that will get better as long as you stick with it and give it the attention it deserves.

Optimize Your Website Sooner Than Later

Optimize Your Website Sooner Than Later

Writing by Nick Stamoulis    ShareThis

Search engine optimization is something that allows your website to poke its head through the ugly clutter that exists online in the search space. Every day you see more and more junk finding its way into the pages of search results creating even more of a barrier between you and your audience. Waiting longer is not going to do anything for you so you must act now or be invisible even longer.

Here are four reasons why optimizing your website now is imperative:

More & More Online Clutter
The online clutter is not going to stop any time soon and more and more is being poured into the web almost every single day. Will all of it find its way to the front pages of the search results? Most likely not but all it takes is one to make it and it could pull away very valuable traffic from your website. Can you afford to lose business to website clutter?

Competition Getting Smarter Everyday
Search engine optimization is not something that is talked about in secret any longer; it is something that is a high level priority in many department and company meetings across the globe. Some of those meetings could very well be taking place in the board rooms of your closest competitors. (they probably are)

Everything Is Going Digital
Direct mail will someday be phased out. Might not happen right now but up and coming generations don’t care for physical paper and that is just a reality. Businesses across the globe are pulling all their resources back and phasing in a full digital campaign with greater force than ever before. The digital era is not just an era but a complete lifestyle overhaul.

Mobile Technology
With mobile technology seeing explosive growth right now in the industry a natural transition for a business to go from digital would be over to mobile marketing. People need information on the go and that is not going to change anytime soon.

The moral of this story is that online marketing is happening now and if you still haven’t updated your website from 2001 you have some work ahead of you. The good news is there is room for everyone to play so let’s get going.

Target Produksi Padi 2011 Konservatif

Dinas Pertanian dan Kehutanan Lamongan menetapkan target produksi padi musim tanam tahun ini sama dengan tahun lalu. Pada musim tanam tahun lalu, sasaran luas panen padi ditetapkan sebesar 130.903 hektar dengan sasaran produksi ditargetkan  sebesar 834.368 ton dengan perkiraan rata-rata produktivitasnya 63,59 kwintal perhektar.

            Di musim tanam tahun lalu, kondisi pertanian padi di Indonesia, termasuk di Lamongan cukup banyak mengalami kendala. Terutama akibat perubahan iklim yang membawa efek bencana alam hingga munculnya hama tanaman, seperti wereng. Sehingga di musim tanam tahun lalu produksi padi Lamongan mencapai 857 ribu ton dengan produktivitasnya mencapai 62,05 kwintal perhektar. Atau turun sekitar 35 ribu ton dibanding produksi padi tahun 2009 yang mencapai 892.613 ton.

            “Kita patut bersyukur, ditengah kondisi cuaca yang tidak menentu dan serangan hama produksi padi Lamongan di musim tanam tahun lalu masih bisa melampaui target yang ditetapkan. Meski produksinya turun 35 ribu ton jikia dibanding produksi sebelumnya. Namun penurunan ini masih belum menggeser Lamongan sebagai produsen padi terbesar di Jawa Timur, “ ujar Bupati Fadeli saat panen raya padi musim tanam pertama di Desa Sukosari/Mantup, Kamis (10/2).

            Terkait muramnya kondisi cuaca dan serangan hama, Fadeli meminta petugas penyuluh lapangan untuk aktif turun memberikan penyuluhan dan pemantauan hama. Hal itu penting dilakukan agar petani tidfak salah langkah. Demikian pula, dia meminta petani agar benar-benar mematuhi pola tanam sehingga bisa memutus rantai tumbuh kembang hama tanaman. “Produksi padi Lamongan tahun ini masih bisa ditingkatkan jika bisa menggenjot produktivitas menjadi 7 kwintal per hektar. Ini tentunya memerlukan kerjasama dari semua pihak, “ kata dia.

            Terkait konservatifnya target produksi padi di musim tanam tahun ini, Kepala Dinas Pertanian dan Kehutanan Mustakim Arif menyebut hal itu karena kondisi cuaca tahun ini diperkirakan sama dengan musim lalu. “Perkiraan dari Badan Meteorologi Klimatologi dan Geofisika kondisi cuaca tahun ini masih akan sama dengan tahun lalu. Sehingga target produksi padi ditetapkan sama dengan tahun lalu, “ tutur dia saat di Desa Sukosari.

            Disebutkan olehnya di musim tanam pertama tahun ini, luas tanam padi di Lamongan mencapai 70.325 hektar. Sementara hingga akhir Januari, sudah ada 14.043 hektar diantaranya yang dipanen. Terkait hama wereng, Dinas Pertanian Kehutanan sudah menyiapkan sejumlah langkah. Diantaranya dengan mengatur pola tanam, gerakan pengendalian dini hama tanaman serta pemberantasan hama secara represif.

            Di awal tahun ini, ham wereng sudah menyerang 11 ribu hektar lahan padi. Dari jumlah tersebut, 765 hektar diantaranya dinyatakan puso. Sementara sisanya mengalami serangan wereng dengan kondisi ringan hingga berat dan masih ada yang bisa diselamatkan dengan obat-obatan bantuan dari Pemkab.
