Park pointed out, "For the efficiency and mechanization of farming operations in dry fields, the improvement of the farmland base must be well done, but the current project is limited to residential facilities and the work on drainage channels in some areas rather than farmland." He continued, "Just as mechanization progressed rapidly after the consolidation of paddy fields in the past, efficient farming in dry fields can also be achieved."
