 The existence of farmer groups plays a role in solving problems experienced by farmers, farmer groups function as a learning tool for farmers starting from the production process, processing, to marketing. Social capital is also a determining factor in the existence and existence of a farmer group. This research aims 1) To analyze the influence of beliefs, networks, values and norms on the welfare of the Torongrejo Village farmer group. 2) To analyze the influence of beliefs, networks, values and norms simultaneously on improving the welfare of the Mutual Cooperation farmers of Torongrejo Village group members. Data was obtained through interviews with 53 farmer members taken using the census method using a questionnaire. Data measurement uses two scales, namely a Likert scale on social capital and an ordinal scale on the welfare of farmer groups. The analytical method used is multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS. The results of the analysis show the significance value of trust is 0.000, network 0.221, value 0.212, norm 0.004 and social capital is influenced by 64.7% while the remaining 35.3% is influenced by other factors. The conclusion of this research is that elements of social capital such as trust, networks, values and norms are improved. In particular, networks and values need to be paid more intense attention because networks and values are one of the factors for establishing good cooperation. Intraction also needs to be increased because the interaction carried out in every activity by farmer groups will create a sense of mutual trust between each other. If mutual trust grows within other elements of farmer groups such as networks, then the values and norms will work well.
