The uniqueness of Salt Village Farmers Jono Grobogan
Usually the salt ponds at the beach, but in the village of Jono, Tawangharjo, location Grobogan salt ponds covering 120 hectares was far from the beach and just rely on well water is salty in the middle of the barren and arid land. Is unique because it is made from the raw water that emerged from the bowels of the earth. Because of the uniqueness of the need to maintain and preserve. The salt is made in the village of Jono was perhaps the only one in Indonesia even in the world. In the village and the region Jono Bledug Kuwu water source is salty like sea water.

The salt is made in the village of Jono was perhaps the only one in Indonesia even in the world. In the village and the region Jono Bledug Kuwu water source is salty like sea water.
Even the quality thereof was far better than the salt sea water. However, the salt is less desirable because the color is brownish. But the price of salt production village Jono much more expensive. Because without being given iodine salt contains iodine is already up to 8 percent. In this village there are only 7 wells that can be utilized. Seven of these wells is said to be a relic Joko Daze, son Ajisaka, Javanese legend.
The salt produced in the valley Jono actually has the iodine content higher than sea salt produced at the beach. In the past, the village Jono has a record of a golden age that is the sole producer of salt in Indonesia. At that time the production of sea salt still can not be done and only farmers in Jono to produce salt. So it is not surprising that in the future many salt farmers Jono become rich merchants. But after the 1970s, sea salt finally produced so that the dependence on commodity salt and borax in Jono wane.
Around 1950, the amount of salt in the village Jono employers have hundreds of
people in the production of nearly 5,000 tons per year. However, this time it
was just a salt maker 50 with a production of about 100 tons per year. This
condition is due to marketing problems that still inferior to salt sea water
due to limited production. Moreover, they do also make the traditional
production with the new salt is generated in a period long enough.
Where the origin of salt? Jono valley was originally marine waters, is located between the mountains and the mountains Kendeng Rembang. Because of the sedimentation process Kendeng Mountains and mountains of Rembang, then gradually becomes shallow and formed a swamp (overgrown marsh plants). Sedimentation process continues so that the area becomes dry and dead marsh plants. The remains of dead marsh plants then form a sediment deposited by methane gas. Besides the remains of plants mixed with seawater and covered by sediment material then becomes mud. So it is not surprising that the area can be found Jono traps of brackish water, mud and methane bursts in several locations. The methane gas is very dangerous because flammable, so it is usually in the holes where the gas would have burned out so that the gas is not harmful to local residents.
