Rice-transplanting Begins in DPRK
Pyongyang, May 10 (KCNA) -- The Wonhwa Co-op Farm, Phyongwon County of South Phyongan Province was the first to start transplanting young rice seedlings this year in the DPRK.

Having made all preparations as required by the Juche farming method and having done in time the repairing and maintenance of farm machines including tractors, the farmers are in high spirit from the first day.

On May 10, 1952 when the Fatherland Liberation War was at its height, President Kim Il Sung came to Wonhwa-ri and sowed seeds with farmers.

The President and leader Kim Jong Il were registered as honorary farmers of the farm associated with their leadership feats.
