[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Gokseong County (Governor Yoo Geun-gi) announced on the 10th that it is preparing to allow the rental of equipment from small agricultural machinery rental centers in towns and townships using a smart app.

Gokseong County operates the nation's first small agricultural machinery rental centers in towns and townships.

Currently, it holds 496 units of 51 types, and residents can easily rent agricultural machinery nearby without having to go to Gokseong-eup, where the Agricultural Technology Center is located.

If agricultural machinery rental through the smart app becomes possible, it is expected that farmers will be able to use the service more conveniently.

Gokseong County plans to complete the input of agricultural machinery status into the smart app by the end of this month.

The day before, training was also conducted for the practical managers of the small agricultural machinery smart app in towns and townships.

Once the input is completed and the service operates next month, users will be able to check the overall status of agricultural machinery in towns and townships through the smart app.

Additionally, farms will be able to apply for the agricultural machinery they want to use by utilizing the Band app on their mobile phones.

Along with the operation of the smart app for small agricultural machinery rental centers in towns and townships, equipment will also be expanded.

With a project budget of 78 million KRW, 48 units of 21 types of agricultural machinery, including strawberry bed crushers that have high utilization by farms, will be placed in the rental centers in towns and townships.

A county official stated, “We plan to further increase the utilization of small agricultural machinery rental centers for the convenience of farmers.”
