Rice planting was carried out at "Shiroyone Senmaida" in Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture, and rice field owners planted seedlings while taking measures against infection with the new coronavirus.
At "Shiroyone Senmaida" in Wajima City, which is designated as a national scenic spot, the number of farmers has decreased due to depopulation, so an owner system has been introduced so that the general public can experience rice cultivation in order to maintain the landscape. ..
On the 9th, about 400 owners and volunteers from all over the country participated in rice planting.
Participants went into the paddy fields wearing boots and barefoot, and planted Koshihikari seedlings one by one while struggling with the muddy mud.
On the 9th, the work was distributed in the morning and afternoon for each group so that it would not be crowded, and the temperature was measured and masks were thoroughly worn.
A man from the owner of Kyoto Prefecture said, "I was wondering if I should visit, but since I am working outdoors, I participated after taking measures against infection. I plan to go home without stopping at other places."
Weeding and rice harvesting will be carried out at "Senmaida" in the future, but it may be canceled depending on the infection situation.
