The Yeongcheon City regional specialized rental smart farm, established on a 4ha scale in 706 Guam-ri, Geumho-eup, Yeongcheon City, consists of seven smart farm glass greenhouses. It is a project that leases about 500 to 600 pyeong per young farmer for three years to provide practical training and farming experience.

Yeongcheon City plans to select a total of 7 teams and 20 people through team applications. Eligibility requirements are Korean youth aged 18 to under 40 as of the selection year. The first priority is graduates of the Smart Farm Innovation Valley Youth Startup Incubation Center training course, and the second priority is young farmers with less than three years of independent management experience without facility agriculture experience.

Applications can be submitted by visiting the Eco-friendly Agriculture Division of the Yeongcheon Agricultural Technology Center or by registered mail. The application period is from the 15th to the 20th, and detailed information can be found in the recruitment announcement on the Yeongcheon City website.

This project, selected as a Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs public contest project in 2022, is scheduled to be completed in April, and young farmers are selected in advance to design their farming plans before completion.

Choi Ki-moon, mayor of Yeongcheon City, said, “Our city will do its best to ensure that young farmers who want to enter smart farming gain practical experience during the rental period and successfully settle down in the future.”
