The growing media support project for rice seedling beds aims to alleviate the management cost burden by supplying lightweight and easy-to-install growing media exclusively for seedling beds to rice farming households, in response to the rapid aging of the rural population. It also seeks to prevent pests and diseases and produce high-quality seedlings. Applicants must reside in Yeoncheon-gun and be registered agricultural operators.

Additionally, the horticultural growing media support has been expanded since last year to include field crop farmers. From this year, the support target has been further expanded to include flower farmers.

Farmers wishing to participate in the project can visit their local eup/myeon administrative welfare center to apply by February 14.

The growing media for rice seedling beds will be fully supported without any cost to farmers at 30 bags (40L per bag) per hectare. Customized fertilizer will be supported at a fixed rate of 6,000 KRW per bag (20kg), up to 10 hectares with 20 bags per hectare as the standard. Horticultural growing media will be supported at a fixed rate of 5,700 KRW per bag (50L), up to 10 hectares with 20 bags per hectare as the standard.

An official from Yeoncheon-gun stated, “We kindly ask the farmers in need to apply within the application period to receive support for seedling bed growing media, horticultural growing media, and customized fertilizers.”
