There was no one in Hadong-gun who didn’t know.

Many applicants flocked to it with high interest.
As it is a support project in Hadong-gun, applicants are limited to those living in Hadong. The age limit for young farmers was 39.

One of the applicants was an acquaintance.
This is Kim Sang-cheol of Jirisan farmers.
He applied as soon as the announcement was made.
Everything went smoothly. Meanwhile, I was familiar with all the functions of the salad container. Growing salads was also fun.
It was the day I harvested my own salad.
The phone in my pocket was shaking.
Baek Min-seok called.
When I pressed the call button, I heard an excited voice over the handset.
“Finally, development is over.”
It was a program to remotely manage salad containers. He said he was sorry for the delay in development.
I knew I was working all night and every night.
Finally, the program development is over.
“I will run now. I’ll show you how it works.”
Yogurt Salad and Unexpected Applicants
Baek Min-seok knocked on the door of the salad container.
Just by looking at his face, he could tell how happy he was.
“Look at this.”
Baek Min-seok held out his smartphone screen. It was the salad container manager screen.
I was able to check the condition of the salad container.
[Light 8,500lux]
[Temperature 18 degrees]
[Relative Humidity Range 65%]
[Carbon dioxide concentration 400ppm]
[Normal water flow]
[Nutrition fluid normal]
“Finally done! You’ve worked hard all this time!”
“What is the trouble?”
“Is it possible to control it?”
I wondered if it was possible to control the temperature and light intensity with only a program.
“The ability to control takes time.”
“That alone is great.”
It was satisfying just to be able to check the condition of the salad container.
Because the biggest problem has been improved. The advantage of the salad container is that it is a system that grows crops all year round.
There were also downsides. It should remain the same all year round.
In order to overcome the shortcomings, the program was essential.
It is a program that allows you to check the cultivation environment from time to time.
By building the program, you could see the status of the salad container from anywhere.
If you can even control the environment of the salad container, everything is perfect.
“It would be nice to be able to see the inside of the salad container too.”
“You see inside?”
“Yeah, can’t we just install a webcam inside?”
“It would be possible, but do you need to see inside?”
“Think of it as a farmer who grows vegetables. You may be wondering if the crop is growing well?”
“Ah, I understand what you mean. Did the Plant Factory have cameras?”
Baek Min-seok said with a smile. It is a face that recalls the memories of the Plant Factory.
Plant Factory not only looked at the growing environment itself, but also checked the condition of crops with a camera.
“The salad grows really well.”
Baek Min-seok said looking at the vegetables in the salad container.
He didn’t get a close look at the crops growing on the day the program was developed.
Today, I am leisurely looking at the salad.
“Try it once.”
“You just want to eat? Doesn’t it make you sick even if you just eat it?”
Baek Min-seok carefully put the Kaypira leaf into his mouth.
“It’s soft and tastes good.”

At that time, the farm of Jirisan farmers.
Seol Min-ju was wearing an apron and working hard on something. Her mother, Ms. Joo Myung-hee, approached.
Seol Min-joo was absorbed in her work without knowing that her mother had come.
“What are you doing that?”
“Oh my gosh, that’s a surprise.”
“Are you surprised?”
Joo Myeong-hee looked closely at what Seol Min-joo was making.
“It’s a salad, is it grown in a container?”
Seol Min-ju nodded her head. She was making a mix salad with butterhead and caipira grown in salad containers.
There was also cherry tomatoes in the salad.
“Where did cherry tomatoes come from?”
“This is what Sang-cheol raised.”
“Does Sang-cheol grow cherry tomatoes too?”
“I grow everything in the Blueberry House.”
“You’re so talented, where would you like to taste it?”
Joo Myung-hee listened to the salad on the plate. It was time to grab a fork and eat.
“Wait.”
“Why not eat?”
“You have to put some dressing on it.”
“dressing?”
Seol Min-ju started making dressings with yogurt.
Add chopped onion, sugar, and vinegar to the yogurt made at the ranch and stir well.
“The yogurt dressing is complete.”
Seol Min-ju put yogurt dressing nicely on the salad plate.
“Mix well and enjoy.”
Joo Myung-hee mixed the yogurt dressing well and tasted the salad.
“Oh my, how does this taste?”
Joo Myung-hee opened her eyes wide and asked.
“why? Does it taste weird?”
Seol Min-ju took a bite out of Butterhead’s mouth with a bewildered expression.
Even the crunching sound was delicious.
“It’s so delicious, I can sell it!”
Joo Myung-hee said with a smile.
“Mom too.”
Seol Min-ju made plenty of yogurt salad and distributed it to the ranch family.

I returned to the office with Baek Min-seok.
The office was gloomy.
“Where is everyone?”
Baek Min-seok looked around. Then the door to the conference room opened and Han Ki-tak appeared.
“It’s fine, come in.”
In the conference room, Seo Woo-young and Lee Young-ho were present as well as office colleagues.
Everyone was eating something.
“Sit down, I have prepared yours.”
It was a yogurt salad. Everyone was addicted to the Yogurt Salad Sammaekyung.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min-seok Baek and I also gave a plate of salad.
“Sent from the ranch, sorry to eat only them.”
The yoghurt dressing went well with the salad.
“The cherry tomatoes are a skill of Sangcheol.”
Han Gi-tak put a cherry tomato in his mouth.
Everyone looked satisfied.
He intended to master the functions of the salad container before proceeding with the support project.
The salad I grew was shared with the people around me. What I shared on the ranch came back like this.
It was speculated that Seol Min-ju was the one who made the yogurt dressing. Kim Sang-cheol’s cherry tomatoes also went well with the salad.
After the salad tasting session, we went back to our seats.
Han Gi-tak and I remained in the conference room. There was something to discuss about the youth farmer support project.
“I heard that the young farmer is selected by Hadong-gun.”
“Yes, I will choose from there.”
“The competition was fierce, isn’t Sangcheol dropping?”
Han Ki-tak asked with a smile.
“It probably won’t happen.”
“Do you have any reason to believe that you are so sure?”
“It means that Sang-cheol’s determination is not normal.”
“Sangcheol’s eyes were different. By the way, what do you want to discuss?”
“It’s opening up a salad market.”
“I haven’t even selected a young farmer yet, so should I worry about developing a market?”
“I have to think about it from now on. If we select a young farmer, we will start planting right away.”
“Hey, salad containers can be grown right away, right? There is no waiting as long as other crops.”
“Yes, once the cultivation begins, salads will come out without missing a day.”
Han Ki-tak also knew that the salad container rotates.
14 salad containers will grow salads with a staggered one-day stagger.
Salads could be harvested from one container every day.
“What does Chief Secretary Kang Min-soo say? Didn’t they say anything about opening a market there?”
“It seemed like he was speechless. You must be careful.”
Even if it was a project supported by Hadong-gun, sales were a sensitive part.
If this youth support project is stabilized and produces results, it will be able to help connect sales channels at the local level. However, at this stage, we cannot unconditionally buy our products. It could become a problem later.
Kang Min-soo seemed to want to lead the cutting-edge agriculture.
“We will spare no effort to support cutting-edge agriculture, but it means that it is ours to sell.”
“That’s right, the sale is ours.”
Han Ki-tak picked up the point accurately.
“We must run on our feet.”
It was the expected reaction. He also wanted to be active.
I believed I could break through places I hadn’t even thought of.
“I will play with you on this one.”
“Shouldn’t you be managing the support business?”
“I’m trying to do that at the same time.”
“Even if our representative has ten bodies, it won’t be enough.”
“I don’t think it will be difficult with seniors.”
As much as possible, I wanted to deliver salads to places that needed them every day.
I already had a place to think about.
The more partners, the better. I hoped that Han Gi-tak would play with me while I was there.

The selection of young farmers to participate in the support project has been completed.
As Han Ki-tak said, the competition was fierce.
Although it was limited to farmers living in Hadong, the number of applicants exceeded 100.
Kim Chang-dae, governor of Hadong County, also participated as an interviewer. It was a part that showed how important he was to this support project.
Jirisan farmers, including myself, did not participate in the selection of young farmers.
This is because members of the Jirisan farmers also applied for this project.

Out of 14 young farmers, I knew two people.
Kim Sang-cheol passed lightly. I heard that you were the most enthusiastic about the interview.
Another character was unexpected. He showed up as soon as the winners were announced.
“Hyung, I was selected for the support project.”
Bang Hyun-sik said, taking a deep breath. I did not know that he would apply for this support project.
He was pressing sesame oil and walnut oil every day. I thought it would be difficult to do support projects at the same time.
Curiosity took precedence over joy that he was selected.
“I’m not busy? I hear you have a lot of work these days.”
“Orders are coming in every day. I am still working.”
“I’m so busy, can you do this job? Are you sure you don’t want to leave all the work to your mother?”
“No, you can never do it alone.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I got a part-time job.”
“A part-time job?”
“Naeun’s older sister.”
Bang Hyun-sik said with a smile. Ye Na-eun was the person who was educated on dried persimmons with him.
Ye Na-eun decided to help. She said that after the dried persimmon farming was over, she was having a leisurely time.
“I really wanted to participate in this support project. I am also interested in advanced agriculture.”
Although different from Kim Sang-cheol, he also had a burning desire.
“Why are you interested?”
“I heard it at the support project briefing session. Right now, only salads are grown, but in the future, they say that they will increase the number of items with various crops.”
It was Min Yo-han who grabbed the microphone at the presentation. It was the only event that members of Jirisan farmers participated in this support project schedule.
There were no experts in Hadong-gun, so we asked us.
It was like what Min Yo-han said back then.
“Yeah, right now we only grow salads, but there are plans to expand to other crops.”
“Is it possible to grow sesame and perilla?”
“Sure.”
This was because Hyunsik Bang applied for this support project.
He wanted to make oil from sesame and perilla that he grew himself.
It was a good idea.
“Maybe walnuts are difficult.”
“It must be difficult for trees.”
The youth farmer support project started at a place designated by Hadong County Office.
The location was close to the Agricultural Support Center, and was previously used as a training center in the center.
Electricity and water were essential, so a place with minimal facilities was needed.
It was also a request from Hadong-gun.
The selection of young farmers has been completed, and the production of salad containers has come to an end.
The moment has come when we need to lay the ground rice to open up the market.

My parents went to the hospital. My grandfather underwent surgery for acute appendicitis.
“Did the surgery go well?”
“They said the surgery went well.”
Father sighed in relief.
Because if you do it wrong, something big could happen. My uncle, who was a carpenter, worked a lot with machines.
