Toru-Wakui

<Left the local farmland seeking broad> (Toru-Wakui) Growers Association representative Akitakomachi Ogata parents' 63-year-old is making rice farmers (Tokamachi now) Tokamachi Niigata rice Sanchoku T. Wakui 60,000 customers . No particular resistance to take over the family business, I have to go to vocational school after high school agriculture. At that time, from someone you know, you have been recommended a settlement is to Ogata, Akita Prefecture was born in 1964 as a district model of large-scale farming. Ogata that can make large-scale paddy rice, which is also 10 hectares of agricultural land of more than five times the home was attractive. After all, over the objections of relatives, houses and farmland to dispose of home, family and I emigrated en masse. Fourth settlers in 1970, is at the age of 22. With the set-aside policy that began <continued to resist the national set-aside policy> in 1970, we were asked to nearly half of the agricultural land in the field. However, drainage is poor in soft, Ogata ground is unsuitable for field crops. Moreover,R4i SDHC 3DS 平均株価は前日比31円16銭高の1万1683円45銭と小幅続伸, they are not eligible for financial incentives to be delivered to the crop rotation farmers, settlers, he will be suffering from repayment of debt laden to purchase farmland. Think of life "does not hold if you do not focus on rice," and continued to planting more than half of the agricultural land contrary to the request of the country, province and country, faced with the "early harvest" harvest the rice just before harvest you've been. I was followed reluctantly, I am about some people in the country were repurchased farmland planted over a defined area. I was also hard to sell black market sale of rice audience. Because you did not buy a collection of ordinary rice farmers of the village only, do not cooperate to set-aside, we can not help looking to sell themselves. Akita Prefecture is also, in addition to performing 24 hours a checkpoint, charged with violation of the Food Control Law farmer who sold rice "darkness", has received questioning from police and prosecutors, too. However, everyone, even non-prosecution became farmers checkpoint is released about two months, was accused. This is why I have been proved to be rice farmers to sell to make freely is that, no problem at all. I considered a new start this year, 87 the eve of the age of 40, founded the "Growers Association Akitakomachi Ogata," he began selling farm-fresh with a courier. Our company which <the chance to pinch> was the forerunner of business Sanchoku agricultural products, agricultural cooperatives have been guarded for regulatory presence will was like "bump on the eye." Pressure is applied to the courier company and the "Do not use it to carry rice association" from agricultural cooperatives, 10 days, in 1989, I was no longer able to ship rice. Support 42 years ago [1970], and other settlers in the village of Ogata training camp from all over the country. Immediately, addressed to the audience of about 10,000 people across the country are, Mr. Wakui second person I sent a letter with "Please everyone for your support" from the left. Then, come to the TV coverage, much attention was paid to the contrary, I have gained in the audience is 60 000 people. I was able to change into opportunities pinch as a result, I'm really serious thing that can no longer ship the rice. In food law enforcement in 1995, selling rice by farmers officially recognized, can now finally be business as usual for us. <Environment surrounding agriculture have changed greatly> spend most farmers against the (Pacific Economic Partnership Agreement) TPP now. I think "We should agree that the life of salaried workers bought me a crop becomes rich." But. Many office workers but it is a duty to have export-related industry. Of course, because cheap agricultural products coming from abroad, the price difference is I get guaranteed income (such as door-to-door income compensation). Lower production costs and promote the integration of agricultural land, to increase the value added by processing agricultural products to sell to the world. I think, not only from the perspective of domestic agriculture in Japan, and the need to look outside more. (Biography) ◇ (Hideji Osato bureau Akita listener) in 1948, was born in Niigata Prefecture.
