Saturday, September 2: Crop cultivation in the Akarui Agricultural Method plots has entered the harvest season.

Thursday, September 7, 2023

This is a view of the field on Saturday, September 2. Crop cultivation on a leased field was implemented in May of this year, and the harvest season began four months later in September.

From field design, plowing, seeding, planting, mowing, and other sequential operations were carried out, and the crops grew magnificently!

This year, the weather was unfavorable with typhoons and heat, and many of the crops fell over. It was a trial-and-error cultivation process, and it was very difficult to determine the optimal harvest time.
