The regular maintenance and repair status of major farm machinery such as power tiller, farm tractor, rice transplanter and combine harvester etc., were surveyed and analyzed for the full-time farmers in order to get basic information for promoting farm machinery productivity. The survey was carried out through 209 farmers from 9 provinces. The results of this study can be summarized as follows; 1. The regular maintenance of farm machinery was conducted at repair shop(49.5%) or dealer agency(12.0%), and also conducted by farmers at their house(34.9%). 2. For the status on the cleanness or exchange times of engine oil, fuel filter and air cleaner, most farmers conducted fewer times than the necessary times. And, 5.3%, 7.7%, and 2.9% of surveyed farmers experienced breakdowns due to the insufficient cleanness or exchange oil, fuel filer, and air cleaner, respectively. 3. Most farmers(76.1%) recognized the necessity of farm machinery training or education, and they preferred one week for the training period, simple or easy maintenance for the training level, agricultural technical center or farm machinery manufacturer for the training agency. 4. Complete recognition of operation manual and sufficient maintenance before-, during-, and after-operation for the farm machinery can minimize the breakdowns, enlarge the endurance prevent the safety accidents, and promote productivity of farm machinery. And, these can be accomplished by the thorough training or education for agricultural machinery.

In order to find out the frequencies of symptoms and the relations between the symptoms and working hours, the numbers of spraying pesticides authors investigated 145 farmers(96 male, 49 female persons) from 6 Myon's of 3 Gun's in Kyeongnam Province. The results were as follows; 1. The most frequent farming years were 1-5 years, fruits were the most common, and working hours were over 9 hours in 41.4%. The commonly used pesticides were insecticides, herbicides, herbicides in order. Only 52.4% of the farmers used masks, and 69.0% bathed after spraying pesticides. 2. The most common symptoms being complained were sweating, lumbago, shoulder pain, dizziness, headache, fatigue, decreased vision, weight loss, dyspnea and nausea in order. 3. Dizziness was more common in younger ages and decreased vision was more common in elder ages. Dyspnea and shoulder pain were more common in female farmers. 4. The more longer the working hours, the more complained indigestion, lumbago, shoulder pain and nausea. The more faster came into vinyl-house after spraying pesticides, the more common fatigue and dizziness. 5. The farmers who sprayed more pesticides complained headache, dyspnea, weight loss. 6. Vinyl house workers who worked more than 7 hours complained headache, nausea, decreased vision, lumbago more frequently than who worked less than 6 hours. 7. The farmers who entered in 1-2 hours after spraying pesticides complained fatigue more frequently than those entered after 3 hours. 8. Vinyl house workers without using masks complained dizziness and dyspnea more commonly than those using masks. But headache was more common among those using masks contrary to expectation.

육잠기술이 수견량에 미치는 영향의 정도를 알고져 1971년 춘잠기 및 추잠기에 경기도 화성군 정남면 보통리와 용수리 소재 양잠농가중 14호를 선정하여 70년도 상자당 수견량이 평균이상 농가를 상위 농가로 평균이하 농가를 하위농가로 구분하고 71년도에는 이들 농가에게 각농가의 상전상엽을 공유제로 하고 사육조건을 통일시킨 조건하에서의 사육 결과로서 육잠기술이 상자당 수견량에 미친 영향력을 추정했다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 육잠기술이 상자당 수견량에 미치는 영향력은 이들 14개 상하위 양잠농가를 기준 한다면 춘잠기 15% 추잠기 33%이다. 2) 사료조건이 상자당수견량에 미치는 영향력은 이들 14개 양잠농가를 기준한다면 춘잠기 56% 추잠기 69%이며 이에는 기상조건의 상승효과가 포함되어진 것으로 추정된다. 3) 하위농가의 육잠기술중 가장 중요하게 미치는 저위생산요인은 소독의 불이행인것 같다.

농촌인구 감소, 고령화 심화, 기후변화 등으로 지속적으로 악화되고 있는 한국농업의 생산여건 변화에 효과적으로 대응하기 위해 디지털 정보기술 활용이 중요해졌다. 이에 본 연구는 성향점수매칭법을 이용하여 농가의 정보화 기기 활용 선택에 미치는 요인과 정보화 기기 활용이 농산물 판매에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 연령이 낮은 농가, 교육수준이 높은 농가, 선도농가들이 정보화 기기 활용 채택 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 연령, 경영규모, 영농형태 등 유사한 특성을 가진 농가라면 농업경영에 정보화 기기를 활용하는 농가가 더 높은 농산물 판매 수입을 올리는 것이 확인되었다. 따라서 농가의 정보화 기기의 활용능력을 높이는 것은 농가소득을 향상시킬 수 있다는 시사점을 제공한다. 정보화 기기 보급 및 농업정보를 활용할 수 있는 능력을 농가들이 가질 수 있도록 정부의 농업·농촌 분야 정보화 지원 사업이 중요하다 할 수 있으며, 정보 기술에 근거한 과학적 영농 및 마케팅 활동이 이루어질 수 있는 정보 인프라 구축에도 적극적인 투자가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

Community-based precision farming is a new concept of agricultural systems, which leads to organize groups of wise farmers and technology platforms in Japan. The wisdom farmers create a rational farming system to manage hierarchical variability: variability in farmers' community as well as variability of within-field and between-field. The technology platform develops and provides three key-technologies: mapping technology, variable-rate technology, and decision support systems available for rural constraints. Advancement of bio-production robots leads precision farming to the next level, where two technological innovations: how to produce and manage information-oriented fields and information-added products, can be attained.

DPRK have been encountered serious food problems in recent years, because of lack of availabilility of supplies, unfavorable weather conditions and above all lack of production incentives for farmers. Self-management is one of the method of increasing production incentives for farmers. For the well established self-management program, DPRK have to distribute farmland to farmers, not property rights but utilization rights. However farming situations are different, the distribution methods will be different according to the farming situations.

The objectives of this study were 1) to evaluate level of satisfaction of the farm helper system which has been executed by Ministry of Agriculture & Forestry from the year 2000 as one of the welfare policies for assisting production activities of woman farmers. and 2) to suggest some measures for improving farm helper system. The data were collected from selected 729 women farmers who utilized the farm helper system. The major findings and suggestions from this study were as follows: 1) Women farmers responded that they had positive attitudes toward utilizing farm helper system by answering 'obtaining mental stability'(34.6%). 'reducing a burden of child birth'(29.2%), 'continuing to work on farm activities'(24.4%) and 'trust in national policies'(10.7%). 2) In addition, women farmers wanted to use the helpers for two months, before and after having a child birth. 3) They suggested that farm helpers system should be extended to other areas such as farming(21.5%), nursing(18.6%), and child-caring(16.1%).

The purpose of this study is to analyze the trends of basic income guarantee of which the discussion has been spreading in recent years and to explore the feasibility of this system in the rural areas of Chungchengnam-do. Basic Income Guarantee means a system in which all members of society could take regular incomes which is at a minimum necessary for their life without any conditions, and it is already introduced or being currently discussed in several countries and regions such as USA, Switzerland, Namibia. In Korea, it is currently claimed that breakthrough policy such as basic income guarantee for farmers should be introduced for farmers or rural residents who are facing the challenges of the double, namely the reduction of farm incomes and rural population due to the expansion of global free trade such as WTO and FTA since 1990s. Therefore, the policy considerations and suggestions for implementing the basic income guarantee for farmers in Chungcheongnam-do is explained in this paper.
