Song Guigun, Goheung County Governor, Engages in On-Site Communication Administration with Farmers... Receives Positive Response

Sharing Farmers' Concerns Together Through On-site Field Meetings

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Chunsu] Song Gwigeun, the governor of Goheung County, is actively conducting ‘Field Meetings’ by personally visiting rural fields to listen to farmers’ difficulties and devise solutions on-site, receiving great responses from the residents.

According to Goheung County on the 7th, Governor Song is visiting farmers’ workplaces directly, considering the realities faced by farmers and fishermen who are struggling due to labor shortages during the busy farming season and limitations on external activities.

The ‘Field Meetings’ held by Goheung County so far have been conducted without formalities or procedures, resolving agricultural issues through natural conversations with farmers at the agricultural sites.

Starting with a garlic-related field meeting on April 29, Governor Song has been holding meetings by item and group as needed to address difficulties and suggestions on-site.

The field meeting held on the 6th involved visiting rice harvesting sites directly and participating in the rice harvesting work to comfort rice farmers, as difficulties are expected due to lodging, damage from black and white heads caused by frequent rainfall and typhoons, and the occurrence of pests and diseases (rice planthoppers, rice leaf folders, and rice blast), which have led to a decline in rice quality and yield reduction.

In particular, it became a meaningful communication administration forum reflecting farmers’ opinions in agricultural policies to fundamentally prepare alternatives for the annually recurring pest and disease control.

A county official said, “We plan to establish on-site administration that understands and resolves farmers’ difficulties through dialogue with them during tough times by promoting ‘Visiting Field Administration’ that directly listens to even the small voices from the agricultural field and reflects them in administration, creating an opportunity to alleviate the hardships of agricultural workers even a little.”
