[Rural Development News=Reporter Nara Park] The Chungnam Development Corporation and the Chungnam Sejong Agricultural Cooperative have once again joined forces to help farmers facing difficulties due to a shortage of labor during the autumn harvest season. The two organizations visited an apple farm in Yesan County on the 17th, jointly carrying out apple harvesting and farm maintenance work, thereby practicing the meaning of urban-rural symbiosis. Around 50 employees from both organizations participated in the labor support, focusing on helping the farm, which was struggling with labor shortages, to carry out its operations smoothly. Especially during the autumn harvest season, when the workload is concentrated, the repeated shortage of rural labor makes on-site support activities a great help to the farmers. This activity follows a similar one held in April last year.
