[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Gunwi County announced on the 28th that the employees of Sanseong-myeon Office held a rural labor assistance event during the busiest farming season.

Eleven employees, including myeonjang Kim Dong-ryeol, visited a garlic farm in Muam 1-ri, Sanseong-myeon, which has been struggling with labor shortages due to long-term COVID-19 impacts on agricultural workforce supply. They worked hard on tasks such as pulling garlic scapes from about 2,000㎡ of garlic fields.

Jang Gwang-ik of Muam 1-ri expressed gratitude, saying, "It was difficult to find labor during the busiest season, so I was very worried. The public officials helping out in the hot weather was a great support."

Kim Dong-ryeol, myeonjang of Sanseong-myeon, said, "This labor assistance was a meaningful time to understand the difficulties of rural areas, communicate with farmers, and practice sharing. We will continue to share farmers' hardships and actively work on solving problems."
