Jeong Heon-yul, Mayor of Iksan, Visits Flood-Damaged Farms and Promises Swift Recovery
Damage Investigation Completed by the 19th
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hong Jae-hee] Jeong Heon-yul, mayor of Iksan City, visited farms damaged by heavy rain and promised prompt damage assessment and recovery support.
On the 18th, the city announced that Mayor Jeong visited Hwangdeung-myeon, a region severely affected by heavy rain, on the 15th to console farmers whose crops were damaged and to listen to their difficulties.
The farms visited that day had rice plants submerged in rainwater for an extended period due to the heavy rain that lasted four days from the 7th, causing rot before the rice ears emerged.
Mayor Jeong Heon-yul said, "It is regrettable that crops carefully cultivated by farmers were damaged due to sudden abnormal weather. We will do our best to conduct a detailed investigation of the rain damage and provide prompt recovery support to minimize farmers' losses."
