Plowing and plowing the fields that nurture life are important tasks!

Wednesday, May 15, 2024

Although we are almost past the middle of May, the weather remains gloomy and the wind blowing through the flooded rice fields still feels chilly...

Farmers all over town are flooding their fields with water, and plowing and tilling are underway, as are people in their vegetable gardens and fields. In Hokuryu Town, rice planting is set to begin in earnest this weekend.

This is the scene these days, with the fields being plowed, compost applied, and hard work being put into preparations to ensure that life can grow well!
