In the main cabbage-growing areas of Chungbuk region, a wilt disease is spreading. The continuous rain in September and October is the cause. The damage is mainly occurring in Cheongju City and Goesan County. Farmers believe that since the damage is due to abnormal weather, the government needs to prepare measures. On the 16th, farmers in Miwon-myeon, Cheongju City, who grow cabbage and broccoli, plowed up their cabbage fields using tractors. They did this to urge the government to take measures. Broccoli is also suffering the same damage. Yang Mosi, who grows cabbage on 8,000 pyeong of land, said, "Many farms had to replant cabbages after the August heatwave caused all the planted cabbages to wither and die."
