[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yeo Jong-gu] Rice planting is in full swing in Yeongcheon City, Gyeongbuk. In the Yeongcheon fields, the busy farming season officially began on the 22nd with Park Gi-nam's farm in Hyo-ri, Buk-an-myeon.

Park Gi-nam, who demonstrated the first rice planting, transplanted early-maturing rice seedlings on about 10,000㎡ of farmland that day. Rice planting also started at Moon Jong-bok's farm in Junamdeul.

The expected harvest date is projected to be around August.

About 30 people, including full-time rice farmers, rice cultivators, and the Agricultural Technology Center, attended the rice planting demonstration and prayed for a bountiful harvest.

Starting with the first rice planting, farming will proceed in earnest from May, with plans to complete rice planting by mid-June.

An official from Yeongcheon City said, “With the arrival of the full farming season, we will thoroughly manage all farming activities, including rice planting, to ensure nothing is disrupted. We hope that this year, too, will be a year full of smiles for all farmers with a bountiful harvest.”
