Yeonggwang-gun to Conduct 'Comprehensive Agricultural Register Maintenance' by the End of This Year

[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Junsung) announced on the 17th that it will conduct a "Comprehensive Maintenance of Farmland Registers" by the end of this year to update the management of farmland ownership and usage status.

Previously, the county completed maintenance last year on farmland registers where the administrative districts of the farmer's address and the farmland location differed, as well as farmland registers of farmers aged 80 and above within the jurisdiction.

This year, the maintenance will focus on 56,972 farmlands owned by farmers under the age of 80, concentrating on ownership, leasing, and usage status of the farmland.

The farmland register is an official ledger for managing the ownership and usage status of farmland. It serves as basic data for establishing agricultural-related policies and consists of general information about the head of the farming household, household members, status of owned farmland, and status of leased farmland.

The comprehensive maintenance procedure involves comparing and analyzing the farmland register with other data such as agricultural management entity registration information and land registers to update it according to current realities. If information is unclear or inconsistent during this process, explanatory materials and on-site inspections will be conducted.

In addition, if there are signs of illegal leasing, promotion of the Farmland Bank’s farmland lease consignment project will be conducted simultaneously, and if necessary, the farmland usage status survey (scheduled from September to November) will include such cases to investigate the exact usage relationships.

A county official stated, “Through the comprehensive maintenance of the farmland register, we will update the official farmland ledger and, in connection with the farmland usage status survey, strive to contribute to establishing order in farmland ownership and leasing.”
