Jangseong County announced on March 26 that applications for the Farmers' Monthly Salary Program will be accepted until the end of this month.

The Farmers' Monthly Salary Program is a system in which a portion of the contracted purchase amount for agricultural products, which would typically be paid after shipment, is instead provided to farmers in advance as a monthly salary. The county covers the interest incurred by this advance payment to the agricultural cooperative (Nonghyup).

The eligible crops are eight items: rice, pears, persimmons, strawberries, tomatoes, grapes, apples, and peaches. Farmers who have signed an agricultural product shipment contract with a local agricultural cooperative and have a cultivation area that meets the minimum requirement can apply by submitting an application to their local agricultural cooperative by March 31.

Each farm can receive up to 2.5 million won per month, which is expected to provide significant support for farm management. The payment period will be operated flexibly, taking into account the different growing and harvesting periods for each crop.

A county official stated, "We expect this program to contribute to stable farming operations and revitalize the local economy," and encouraged eligible farmers to apply within the designated period to receive the benefits.
