Hapcheon-gun Agricultural Startup Complex Joint Practice Farm

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam Province (Governor Moon Jun-hee) announced on the 19th that it has established and started operating a communal farm (3000㎡) for hands-on agricultural training for the 2021 agricultural startup complex trainees.

The agricultural startup complex is a facility that provides accommodation spaces and various agricultural education and practical training programs to help prospective returnees to farming and rural areas settle stably in agriculture.

The trainees of the agricultural startup complex, under the guidance of the Agricultural Technology Center, plan to cultivate various crops such as potatoes, chili peppers, napa cabbage, and radishes by establishing a communal farm. In addition, they conducted practical training on shiitake mushroom log making and inoculation together with local leading shiitake mushroom farmers.

The trainees said, "We are excited to be able to grow shiitake mushrooms ourselves, which we used to only buy at the supermarket in the city," and added, "We want to harvest the crops we carefully cultivated, show them off to those around us, and share them with the elderly in the village."

Hapcheon-gun is conducting various programs such as agricultural education, field training, advanced site visits, and local exploration of Hapcheon-gun to help trainees find pride as farmers and gain experience in rural life.
