[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 2nd, 10 students enrolled in the Agricultural Startup Complex in Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam, visited the farm of Mr. Jeong in Ssangchaek-myeon, which suffered flood damage from last year's typhoon (Maysak), to help with farm work and provide agricultural education on crop cultivation, the complex announced on the 3rd.

The farm owner expressed gratitude, saying, "It was difficult to find labor due to the severe damage caused by last year's typhoon and the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, but I am thankful that the students from the Agricultural Startup Complex came to help."

Kim Dong-in, chairman of the Agricultural Startup Complex's autonomous association, said, "I feel proud to be able to assist farms lacking labor. As a leading farm for strawberries and melons and a senior returnee farmer, I also gained useful information needed by new farmers and learned a lot." He added, "Although it was a small effort, I am happy and felt it was a rewarding day."

The Hapcheon-gun Agricultural Startup Complex is a facility that provides living spaces, various agricultural education, and practical programs to help prospective returnee farmers and rural migrants settle stably in farming. Currently, 14 households (20 people) reside there.
