A test run was carried out.

At the demonstration event, KiNong Co., Ltd., which developed and manufactured a waste plastic collection device attached to a tractor, LS Mtron, which is distributing Korea's first self-driving tractor, and Gint Co., Ltd., which developed an autonomous driving module attached to agricultural machinery, participated and provided attendees with information on the characteristics of smart agricultural machinery. The usability of high-tech agricultural machinery was verified by explaining and conducting trial runs and test drives.

Meanwhile, prior to the demonstration event, the ‘Noji Smart Agricultural Production Complex private consignor performance evaluation report’ was held to evaluate the ‘23 project performance of Naver System Co., Ltd., which is in charge of consignment operation, and collect opinions from evaluation committee members.

Center Director Yeon Je-hong said, “We will make continuous efforts to realize smart agriculture by incorporating cutting-edge technologies such as smart agricultural machinery to cope with various problems such as the difficult reality of rural areas and aging population.”

Shin Hyeong-soo, head of the Agricultural Policy Division, said, “Smart agriculture can be a way to solve problems such as climate change, aging, and stable production facing our agriculture and enable sustainable future agriculture.” “We will review and reflect the opinions and suggestions derived through the ‘Private Agricultural Consignor Performance Evaluation Report’ and apply data from the Noji Smart Agriculture Support Center to agricultural fields so that smart agriculture can spread,” he said.

The Goesan Noji Smart Agricultural Production Complex has about 50 soybean farmers participating in the areas of Tapchon-ri, Chusan-ri, and Angcheon-ri in Buljeong-myeon, and plays a leading role in scientific farming through data collection, analysis, and utilization services centered on the Noji Smart Agriculture Support Center. there is.
