In order to attain the objective, this study uses primary data that are collected from 72 soybean farmers taken purposively. Production factor analysis using Cobb Douglas production function to analyze factors that   fect soybean production showed that Male Labor, Seeds and Land Area variables had positive effect; meanwhile, Women Labor had negative effect on soybean farming.
