The Nonsan Branch of the Daejeon Probation Office is providing urgent support to a farm affected by an accident involving an automatic greenhouse opener used for watermelon cultivation in the Nonsan area, creating a heartwarming impression.

On the 3rd, the Nonsan Probation Branch announced that it urgently deployed 15 individuals under community service orders to assist in recovery efforts for a watermelon farm located in Noseong-myeon, Nonsan City, which suffered damage due to watermelon spoilage.

According to the Nonsan Branch and the Noseong-myeon Office in Nonsan City, Mr. A cultivates watermelons in 29 greenhouses. However, on May 24th, the automatic greenhouse opener installed for ventilation was closed, causing all the watermelons inside the greenhouse to spoil.

The watermelons were grown under a contract farming agreement and were scheduled for shipment on the 30th of last month. Mr. A estimated the damage from this incident at 180 million won.

Mr. A suspects that someone deliberately operated the automatic greenhouse opener and reported the matter to the police.

Upon hearing this unfortunate story, the Nonsan Branch deployed 15 individuals under community service orders to comfort the farm and lead the recovery efforts.

Director Lee Chung-gu said, “Although it is insufficient to fully soothe the feelings of the affected farm, we urgently organized and deployed individuals under community service orders to share in the difficulties of the local community.”
