More than 6,100 hectares of land was realigned. As a result, over 58,700 patches of paddy fields turned into 35,200 standardized fields. A total of 3,490 km-long footpaths between paddies were cut down to more than 2,800 km and 70 hectares of new land appeared.

Miru Plain means the land which had been so barren that peasants had long put off its cultivation.

Since the country's liberation, President Kim Il Sung visited the plain several times and made a new history of reclaiming Miru Plain, saying that the work of reclaiming Miru fields was a sacred and worthwhile job.

Leader Kim Jong Il initiated a large-scale waterway project and land realignment in order to turn Miru Plain into the nation's reliable granary and clearly indicated the ways to do so.

Officials and other working people and members of a shock brigade in the province removed more than 8.5 million cubic meters of earth, winding up the realignment of Miru Plain, true to the behests of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and the party's grandiose plan for nature-remaking project.

Agricultural workers are pushing forward the for new year's farming to bring about a bumper crop on the newly realigned paddy and non-paddy fields.
