Boseong-gun Launches Full-Scale Operation of Rental Farms for Young Farmers

Management Practice Young Farmer Completes Strawberry Planting

[Boseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Cheon-seok] Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that the Young Farmer Management Practice Rental Farm for young farmers with little farming experience will be fully operational starting this month.

The Young Farmer Management Practice Rental Farm is located in Okpyeong-ri, Boseong-eup, and consists of three smart farm greenhouses (3,600㎡) equipped with hydroponic cultivation, integrated environmental control facilities, automatic openers, and heating facilities.

In July, Boseong-gun announced a call for tenants, reviewed the qualifications and requirements of applicants, and selected three young farmers who wished to cultivate strawberries in facilities as tenants of the management practice rental farm.

From August, the tenants have been directly operating the management practice rental farm, and after preparing for strawberry planting, completed the strawberry planting by September 17.

Mr. Son, a young farmer selected as a tenant, said, “I had many concerns about starting a farming business, but being selected as a tenant of the rental farm has been a great opportunity.” He added, “I plan to harvest high-quality strawberries through continuous education participation and cultivation management after planting strawberries, and I will strive to learn many farming techniques to settle early.”

Additionally, a representative from the Boseong-gun Agricultural Technology Center stated, “We will actively support young farmers so that they can gain a lot of farming experience without the burden of initial investment costs in facility farming at the management practice rental farm, helping them settle in farming.” He added, “We plan to add three more greenhouses aiming for operation by July next year, and we hope many young farmers will participate.”

Meanwhile, the Boseong-gun Young Farmer Management Practice Rental Farm was launched to provide young farmers with little farming experience an opportunity to gain experience and skills in facility (greenhouse) farming operation as a foundation for starting a farming business, and to minimize the possibility of failure after starting a business, enabling early settlement in farming.
