The news of the Kangwon Wildfires continues. The blazing fire burned the seeds and agricultural machinery of the farmers who were waiting for spring sowing. The farmers who have lost their homes and have become farmers for a year are deeply moved.

I am a reporter.

The sowing machine, tractor and rice dryer that were kept in the warehouse were burnt down, leaving only the skeleton.

It is time to make mangos, but the rice seeds and fertilizer that were being stored turned black into charcoal.

Ten farms in the village warehouse were burned.

697 agricultural, livestock and livestock machinery have been damaged by this forest fire.

It is an important time to prepare for farming in a year, but it is hard to even pay tribute.

[Park Yong-kwan / Residents affected by forest fires: There are all kinds of rice paddies, pesticide spreaders, combines, and tractors. I have to say that all the machines were all there.]

The red pepper seedlings that were raised in the vinyl house for more than two months were burned, and sweet potatoes and corn seedlings that were about to be planted in the field next month were also killed by the flames.

[Geumgwalmu / firefighting residents: it is possible to plant seedlings from wherever. But then again, it will be a lot of money, to buy seedlings.

The forest fires also damaged 143 houses and agricultural facilities, and more than 42,000 livestock died.

To help farmers build farms on time, the municipal government has decided to let the municipal government lease its own farm equipment free of charge.

We are also considering ways to supply seeds and seedling boxes for free.

Tomorrow (10th), 10 ~ 40mm of rain will be predicted on the east coast of Gangwon, which is a forest fire affected area, so it is less worry about the rest.
