The seedlings of "Emimaru," a dry-seeded rice variety cultivated by Takada Yukiyoshi, a resident of Hokuryu Town, are growing greener and healthier with each passing day.
Two months have passed since the sowing at the end of April, and work has been carried out, including tamping down, covering with soil, watering, and spraying with herbicide. Since then, the seeds have germinated, established, and branched, and are growing well.
With boundless love, gratitude, and prayers for the direct-seeded rice "Emimaru," which grows freely and vigorously, bathed in the energy of nature's bounty, including fertile soil, pure water, and the great sunlight...
