Good crops of wheat and barley are being expected on farms across the country which are being transformed splendidly as the days go by along with a new era of rural development.

Take an example of Jongphyong County, which was very successful in early-ripening crop farming last year. It is expected that the county will produce over 500kg of more wheat and barley per hectare than last year, while the Honam Farm is believed to increase their per-hectare yield by two tons on average and by 2.5 tons at the maximum.

All efforts and means have been concentrated on wheat and barley harvest.

Highly efficient harvesters are working in the fields in full operation and agricultural workers are exerting themselves to clearly gather the early crops in the shortest possible time.

Sohung County looks forward to an average increased yield of over one ton per hectare as compared to last year.

After getting fully ready, the county launched into the gathering of the early crops and is registering good results from the beginning.

The agricultural workers of the Kachang Farm, which anticipates an average increased yield of over 2 tons per hectare, are working competitively.

Wheat and barley are also being gathered on the fields of the County Town, Poman and Hwagok farms.

Jangyon County is pressing on with threshing while gathering crops.

Agricultural workers are working cheerfully not only in the threshing ground but also on the fields ringing with the buzzing sound of threshers.

The farmers of the Hangnim Farm who have grown good crops of wheat and barley this year again are overfulfilling the threshing plan by more than 20 percent every day.

Those of the Pomgot and other farms are making devoted efforts to wind up threshing as soon as possible.

While being careful not to lose grain during work, they are threshing large quantities of crops per shift.

As a result, the county’s threshing result has jumped up over 1.5 times every day as against last year.
