As the typhoon approached, the farmhouse, especially the orchard, had an emergency.
I'm picking even unripe apples in advance to avoid falling in the wind.
It would be good to take a good look at the facilities such as plastic greenhouses so as not to damage them.

<Reporter> This
is an apple farm in Yesan, Chungcheongnam-do.
Farmers' hands are busy picking apples that are open on each branch.
Red ripe apples as well as unripe ones with a bluish color are harvested.
Pick one week in advance to avoid falling and damage.
[Kwon Young-hwa / Farmer: We pick in advance to avoid all falling when a typhoon comes.
What if it's not ripe?
Because it runs out when it runs out.]
There are many apples that split and burst due to the exceptionally long rain, but to make matters worse, when a typhoon overlaps, the farmers' hearts burn.
Tie the branch tightly with a string so that it does not break, and check the poles carefully for vibrations.
[Lee Tae-seop/Apple Farm Owner: This is one-year farming, but when the typhoon passes, the harvest is almost abandoned, but when the gonpas (typhoon) came, the tree fell and dug more than half.] The
greenhouse farm is also in emergency.
Farmers who have to plant winter strawberry seedlings are worried that the plastic will be torn and blown away by strong winds.
Quickly close the open plastic window to ventilate to block the wind.
[Chae Soo-min/Vinyl House Farm Owner: I have to plant strawberries, but if a typhoon hits, it's a big deal.
If the plastic flies off this time, I can't plant it and there is no way to do it.]
In the paddy fields where the rice is ripe, we close the sluice gate with agricultural water to prevent flooding.
In paddy fields with earbuds of rice, it is necessary to prepare for flooding by digging the water in advance.
Farmers are worried about the typhoon coming up ahead of the harvest.
