More than 160 farms across the country won the title of high-yielding farm and laid firm foundations for increasing the agricultural production.

Farms in eastern and western coastal areas and Pyongyang City carpeted their fields with lots of huminite, compost fermented by microorganisms and organic compound fertilizers. They also increased the grain production by managing the water control in a responsible way while putting the cultivation of crops on a scientific and technical basis.

They boosted the per-hectare yield by distributing different kinds of crops in a proper way and introducing different advanced farming methods and technologies.

Amid the brisk socialist emulation drive, more than 2,400 workteams and 9,900 sub-workteams of co-op farms across the country were honored with the titles of high-yield workteam and high-yield sub-workteam. They considerably raised the thousand-kernel weight of rice by pushing ahead with the work to enhance the fertility of soil and displaying the communist traits of helping and leading each other.

At least 68 000 agricultural workers across the country won the title of bumper cropper by devoting themselves to the farming in the fields throughout this year.
