Haman-gun operates two Agricultural Machinery Rental Centers in the Gaya and Samchil areas, and as of 2024, owns 497 agricultural machines of 70 different types, which are rented out to local farmers. Last year, the center rented agricultural machinery to 3,097 farms, helping them reduce costs associated with purchasing expensive equipment.

An Byungguk, Director of the Haman-gun Agricultural Technology Center, said, "The Haman-gun Agricultural Machinery Rental Center greatly contributes to reducing farming costs and increasing farm income for local farmers who are struggling with an aging rural population and labor shortages. We kindly ask all farmers to use the rental center frequently while strictly following safety regulations for operating agricultural machinery."

Meanwhile, the county subscribes to agricultural machinery insurance for more than 400 machines twice a year to thoroughly prepare for unexpected accidents and emergencies such as equipment damage, and is also separately promoting a delivery service for rental agricultural machinery.
