Especially this year, they plan to operate a rice farming task group to try new cultivation techniques such as drone aerial direct seeding of rice seeds, as well as continue volunteer activities by making rice cakes from rice they produce themselves and distributing them to vulnerable groups.

In addition, various activities are planned, including pest and disease control volunteer services using agricultural drones owned by members, participation in the Jeollanam-do Southwest 4-H Unity Competition, camping events, the YD Festival, and exchange events with the Mokpo National University 4-H Club.

Yang Hyun-seung, president of the Muan-gun 4-H Federation, said, “We will continue to work hard through various activities to protect agriculture and rural areas and to promote mutual growth and development in Muan-gun. We would be grateful if the residents look upon us 4-H members with warm eyes and give us their applause.”

Lee Ki-hoe, director of the Agricultural Technology Center, said, “Although many young people are entering agriculture and rural areas, it would be very difficult to adapt without support. I hope that new young farmers actively join the 4-H Club to form personal networks with peers and create precious memories that will last a long time through various task activities.”

The Muan-gun 4-H Club consists of six organizations, including the ‘Muan-gun 4-H Federation’ made up of young farmers, universities, and middle schools. Membership registration is always open, and inquiries can be made to the Rural Support Division of the Muan-gun Agricultural Technology Center.
