[Gochang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Gochang-gun, Jeonbuk Province, has extended the 50% discount on agricultural machinery rental fees, which was scheduled to end on the 31st, until June 30th of next year.

According to the county on the 26th, the extension of the discount period was finally decided as a measure to reduce the burden of management costs on farming households due to the difficult rural economic situation caused by high oil prices and COVID-19.

The rental fee discount applies to all agricultural machinery at the four rental offices operated by the county, and any member who is a resident of Gochang-gun can benefit.

Hyun Haeng-yeol, director of the Agricultural Technology Center, said, “We hope this will be a small help to farmers who are suffering from double hardships in this difficult economic situation,” and added, “We will do our best to promote this so that many farmers can benefit.”

Meanwhile, the county efficiently operates agricultural machinery rental offices in four regions?east, west, south, and north?and was selected as the best institution in this year’s agricultural machinery rental business evaluation hosted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. It is the first institution in Jeonbuk Province to be selected as the best institution for five consecutive years.
