Hapcheon-gun Conducts Non-Face-to-Face Practical Training for Farmers
Opening of Online Classrooms That Reach Even the Anbang
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam Province, is converting the '2021 New Year Practical Education for Farmers (hereafter Farmer Education)' for about 1,000 farmers in the area to a non-face-to-face format from the 18th until the end of November.
The annual farmer education is designed to spread and disseminate new agricultural technologies and promote major policies to enhance farmers' ability to respond to field issues.
Last year, some education sessions were suspended due to the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), causing inconvenience.
This year, to minimize such educational gaps, the county plans to post educational videos on its official YouTube channel covering 10 courses including cultivation techniques for major crops such as rice, onions, and garlic, as well as smartphone usage and laughter therapy, encouraging voluntary subscriptions.
The posted videos can be freely viewed and repeatedly studied, making it convenient and expected to have a high educational effect.
The county's efforts to provide highly practical information by producing customized educational videos tailored to local characteristics and farmers' needs are receiving positive responses from local farmers.
Farmers wishing to participate in the education can register at the town or township offices or the Agricultural Guidance Division of the Hapcheon-gun Agricultural Technology Center. Anyone can access the videos by searching 'Hapcheon-gun' on the county website's notice board or YouTube.

He added, "We hope this online education will be well utilized as useful material for establishing farming plans."
