Rodong Sinmun says that the President promulgated the Agrarian Reform Law on March 5, 1946 after the liberation of Korea, and goes on: This was a historic event as it realized the centuries-old desire of the peasants to have land and marked a milestone as it opened a new chapter for settling the issue of land in Korea.

The agrarian reform was successfully carried out under the leadership of the President, completely eradicating the feudal relations of land ownership which had been handed down generation after generation and paving a wide avenue for building a rich and powerful country.

Thanks to the tested leadership of Kim Jong Il the socialist land construction has been dynamically pushed forward on a high stage in the DPRK. As a result, the land realignment was successfully carried out in a brief span of time even under so difficult conditions under his guidance. This helped completely eradicate the centuries-old feudal remnants, turn the nation's overall land into standardized fields under socialism and remarkably consolidate the material and technical foundation of the rural economy. It was Kim Jong Il who steered the realignment of the nation's land to befit the land of socialist Korea, translating the lifelong desire of the President into a reality and made the exploits performed by him in the land construction shine generation after generation. This is a great patriotic feat which could be performed only by him.

The socialist rural construction in the DPRK is greeting a new heyday.

Minju Joson calls on the agricultural workers to become patriotic peasants in the Songun era upholding the Workers' Party of Korea and the country by increasing the grain production and fully display patriotism and devotion in the drive to make the co-op fields bring a bumper harvest.
