In February 1964 the Theses on the Socialist Rural Question in Our Country was made public in Korea.
April 14, 2007 (Press Release) --
The Songhan Cooperative Farm, Sinuiju City, North Phyongan Province, can be cited.
Some time ago I met Kim Sang Jun, chairman of the farm management board. He said: “Originally, wet land took a large proportion of our farm.
“In the few dry fields maize and sorghum were planted.
“In Juche 54(1965) scores of hectares of wet land turned into fertile land and in Juche 89 (2000), patches of paddy fields were turned into standardized fields as a result of land realignment, which was according to the state measures.” He said that in the early 1970s the farm had only a few tractors. But now it has tens of tractors and rice-transplanting machines and many other farm machines. So the mechanization of the farming work has been put on a high level. Every year a number of tractor drivers are trained. Through the correspondence course of education in the Sinuiju University of Agriculture and the Phihyon College of Agriculture the ranks of agronomists are on the increase. The chairman of the farm management board, the chief engineer and most of the management and engineers went through the education courses.
Scores of engineers guarantee the agricultural production of the farm scientifically and technically.
The farm created the agricultural science and technique publicization room in each workteam and through their operation enhances the general scientific and technical level of the farm workers.
In the early 1970s more than 100 houses were scattered on the centres of dry fields.
In the early 1980s, however, one- or two-storeyed new houses were built at the foot of the mountains for the households. The houses each have two or three living rooms, an anteroom, a kitchen and a store. Around the houses there are growing apricot, date and other fruit trees, adding beauty to the village landscape.
Each ridge has turned into an orchard where in spring blossoms are out and in autumn all kinds of fruits are ripe.
The Kakjang valley and the ridge of the Kamae Peak have turned into grasslands for the feed of goats and other grass-eating animals. This makes it possible to better the life of the farm workers.
The farm created 100 hectares of forests in the mountains in its vicinity.
The farming district features an ornamental forest and the river embankment and hills on which many trees are planted every year.
The farm has a house of culture, a people’s hospital and other public service establishments.
According to Pak Kwang Hui from the farm management, the farm organizes diverse cultural and emotional life through the house of culture. Short artistic performances are frequently given by each workteam and new film shows are organized.
At the recent national rural village artistic groups’ performances the farm’s programme was highly estimated, a great pride.
The people’s hospital created several hectares of medicinal herb fields to promote the health of the local residents. And prevention checkups and medical treatment are very well under way.
