“Farmers” is a metaphorical word to describe academics, practitioners, or observers of Indonesian language and literature with whom they benefit ideologically, academically, or professionally. At least, we can earn six things from being a 'breeder' of language and literature. First, have an open attitude to new experiences, and dare to explore new experiences and alternatives regarding a situation. Second, flexibility in thinking and courage to choose various approaches to deal with and solve specific problems without neglecting the primary goal.
