"Salah satu tugas tim Upsus LTT adalah memastikan bahwa lahan yang sudah ditanam pada November 2017, akan segera ditanam pada Maret 2018. Namun ternyata kondisi tersebut kadang tidak sesuai yang diharapkan karenan berbagai kendala teknis di lapangan," kata Kepala Subbagian Humas Itjentan Kementan, Eko Supriyanto melalui pernyataan tertulis pada Selasa (10/4).

"Setelah kami meninjau ke lapangan kemudian dialog dengan kelompok tani dan penyuluh pertanian lapangan atau PPL, akhirnya diketahui bahwa petani setempat tidak berani mengambil risiko jika sewaktu-waktu sungai meluap tanggul sungai yang jebol," kata Eko Supriyanto.
Menurutnya, fakta tersebut dilaporkan oleh Sugiyono sebagai ketua Poktan Timbul Jaya, pemilik lahan di dekat sungai yang rawan banjir. "Para petani sebenarnya ingin segera semai, namun tidak berani ambil risiko karena banjir dapat terjadi setiap waktu."
"Tim Upsus Itjentan segera menindaklanjuti dengan menemui kepala bidang prasarana dan sarana di Dinas Pertanian Kabupaten Pringsewu untuk meminta dukungan perbaikan tanggul yang jebol. Alhamdulillah, sepekan kemudian kami dikabari bahwa tanggul sudah diperbaiki dan sawah di sekitarnya siap dan aman untuk disemai," kata Eko.
