Boseong-gun Provides Free Branch Shredder Rental to Reduce Fine Dust and Prevent Wildfires

[Boseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Cheon-seok] Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 18th that since the 3rd, it has been providing free rental of four agricultural byproduct shredders to prevent fires caused by habitual burning of leftover byproducts after the autumn harvest and to reduce fine dust in the agricultural sector.

The free rental project for agricultural byproduct shredders designates a “Mass Shredding Day” for each village centered around the village head, and when an application for rental of branch shredders is submitted to the eup/myeon office, free rental is sequentially carried out through the agricultural machinery rental business office.

The Agricultural Technology Center has set every Thursday until the end of March next year as the “Mass Agricultural Byproduct Shredding Day” intensive operation period, planning to visit each village to provide instruction on the use of branch shredders, education on refraining from burning agricultural byproducts, safety training on the use of shredders, and demonstration sessions.

An official from the Technology Center said, “Shredding agricultural byproducts can reduce fine dust, eradicate illegal burning during winter, prevent forest fires, and recycle shredded materials into high-quality compost through composting of agricultural residues,” adding, “We ask for active participation in agricultural byproduct shredding work so that sustainable agriculture for future generations can be realized.”
