【主な特徴】

In WATARI Town, Watari District, five councils in the town have set “community development as a basic measure” as a town development in which residents play a leading role, and are promoting various measures. We are realizing the “town” that the region wants, the early recovery and reconstruction from the Great East Japan Earthquake, and the “new Watari town” that is comfortable, safe and secure. Since Watari Town and Yamamoto Town in Miyagi Prefecture are located on the Pacific coast, they are famous as areas suitable for strawberry cultivation because of the sunny winter and the spread of well-drained sandy soil. Strawberries here have a reputation for being large in size and strong in sweetness. Before the earthquake, they produced about 3800 tons a year and seemed to have shipped them nationwide under the brand name of “Sendai Strawberries.” However, the tsunami caused by the earthquake caused catastrophic damage. Of the 96ha house, 95% was lost. It’s been more than half a year since the earthquake, and even after the rubble has finally been cleaned up, the next test seems to have taken place. It seems that it was not easy to resume farming because seawater penetrated not only the soil but also the groundwater. In order not to extinguish the fire in the strawberry producing area, some farmers resumed farming by utilizing the national grant for agricultural production measures after the 3.11 Great East Japan Earthquake, but the shipment volume of strawberries in both towns in 2011 was before the earthquake. It seems that it was depressed to one-fifth of. Meanwhile, in March 2012, it seems that the disaster area agricultural reconstruction comprehensive support project (reconstruction grant) of over 10 billion yen could be utilized for the revival of strawberry cultivation in both towns. As a result, it is said that the construction of a “strawberry housing complex” with a total cultivation area of about 40 ha has been decided. Immediately after that, when we recruited people who wanted to use it, we heard that 151 houses of the affected farmers had decided to work on it. At that time, it seems that the producers managed to stroke their chests in time for Christmas at its peak. Construction of the strawberry housing complex started in October 2012. Construction is proceeding at a rapid pace as the centerpiece of the reconstruction projects in both towns, and by September 2013, a total of 161 large cultivation houses have been completed in both towns. Most of the farmers affected by the disaster were cultivated in soil, but since soil cultivation is not possible due to salt damage, it seems that a different cultivation method using elevated benches has been introduced in the new house. Planters are lined up about 1.2 m above the ground and cultivated with nutrient solution. In addition, we will improve work efficiency by using a system that automatically controls watering, fertilization, and temperature, and a carbon dioxide generator that promotes photosynthesis. The completed houses were lent to farmers one after another, and the planting of seedlings began immediately, and it seems that the mindset has changed. December 24, 2021, “Ichigo Ichie Co., Ltd. (Matsumori Azajo-mae, Izumi Ward, Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, Headquarters: Shinden Farm / Asouhara, Yamamoto Town, Watari District, Miyagi Prefecture section of village Shinden Inami Farm / Yamadera, Yamamoto Town, Watari District, Miyagi section of village Inami) ” received the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Management Bureau Director’s Award in the work style reform category of the 2021 National Excellent Management Award, and received a certificate from the Director of the Miyagi Prefecture Agricultural Administration Department. Was done. The award ceremony was held on a nationwide scale every year, but it seems that it was held at the Miyagi Prefectural Government because the award was only online due to concerns about the spread of the new coronavirus infection. In the commendation project, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and the National Council for the Development of Leaders commend agricultural management bodies that are practicing excellent management. It seems that farmers who excel in efforts to create a friendly working environment will be commended. Ichigo Ichie Co., Ltd. is said to be developing a wide range of businesses such as tourist farms and sixth industry in addition to strawberry production in order to recover from the Great East Japan Earthquake. In strawberry cultivation, production efficiency and quality have been improved by introducing an environmental control system that utilizes ICT, and work visualization and production process management software have been introduced to improve production and sales accuracy and reduce working hours. It has also obtained ASIAGAP（Japan GAP Foundation (Kioi Town, Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, 4th floor, Japan Agricultural Research Institute Building): GAP certification system approved by GFSI (Global Food Safty Initiative). Like JGAP agricultural products, it seems to include elements of food safety, environmental protection, occupational safety, human rights and welfare, and farm management. It seems that the elements of food safety include HACCP-based thinking, food protection and food fraud prevention, as it is required to create standards in line with GFSI benchmark requirements. In addition, in order to implement the audit method in line with the GFSI benchmark requirements, a standard-scale individual certification requires an audit of one day (8 hours) or more. In addition, it seems that unannounced examination may be conducted by sampling. ASIAGAP certification seems to be done for each of the three categories of fruits and vegetables, grains and tea. In addition, there is a standard item name list for each category, and it seems that the items listed in the list are subject to certification. The GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) aims to continuously improve the food safety management system to build solid trust in delivering safe food to consumers around the world. A non-profit organization in which food-related companies and organizations that are actively developing participate. One of the main activities seems to be the approval of the food safety certification program.）certification. In creating a work environment, while reflecting the improvement requests from employees in management, we will improve women’s changing rooms and flushing women’s toilets, and promote women’s activities such as appointing female employees to the manager of the processed product development department. It is expanding, and from 2018, it seems that it is also working on “agricultural and fortune cooperation（Efforts to realize social participation with confidence and motivation through the active participation of persons with disabilities and the elderly in the agricultural field. Recent efforts are expected to have synergistic effects, such as not only creating a place for people with disabilities to work and creating a sense of purpose, but also leading to a shortage of workers and the securing of new workers in the aging agricultural field. Since 2015, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has set up a grant project for those who are trying to engage in agricultural and fortune cooperation. The biggest challenge is the significant reduction in agricultural workers. In the 10 years since 1997, the number has decreased from 4.14 million to 1.82 million, which is less than half. At the same time, the aging of workers is advancing, leading to a shortage of workers and a decline in agriculture as a whole. As a result, the local economy, which was centered on agricultural products-related industries, is expected to decline, leading to a vicious circle that accelerates the further decline in the agricultural population.）” such as concluding a work consignment contract with a employment support group for persons with disabilities. I would like to express my deep respect for the achievements made so far. On November 16, 2021, a field study meeting was held for the edible chrysanthemum in the Okuma district of Watari Town under fine weather.  About 30 producers of JA Miyagi Watari Vegetable Subcommittee participated in the study group, and it seems that they visited three places in sequence, including the field where the test of basal fertilizer long fertilizer is being conducted by minibus. It seems that the producers exchanged information with each other with a smile at the local study meeting held after a long absence. At the end of the visit, the extension center provided information on the general review, future topdressing management, and the need for soil analysis for appropriate fertilization management, and the workshop was completed. Mr. Kenichiro SATO, the producer of garland chrysanthemum introduced this time, is also a professional soya bean（A health food that is rich in protein, also known as “field meat,” and is packed with nutrients and functional ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber.）cultivation professional. Miyagi Prefecture is the second largest producer of soybeans after Hokkaido. Pure line separation of native species from Iwanuma Town, Natori District (currently Iwanuma City) at Miyagi Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station Iwanuma Branch (currently Miyagi Original Seedling Center) and at home. Raised in 1961, the old systematic name is Iwanuma No. 1. Recommended varieties of Miyagi prefecture from the same year.）, Tanrei（Daizu Norin 65: Variety name Tanrei, former strain name Higashiyama 60, certification date June 1978, mating parent (mother × father) Norin 2 × Higashiyama 6 (Shiromeyutaka) breeding organization (at the time of certification) Nagano Prefecture Agricultural Experiment Station Chushin Regional Experiment Station Breeding Organization (currently) Nagano Prefecture Vegetable and Flower Experiment Station, Growing period 1961-1977 (17 years) Main characteristics / It is a high-yielding white-eyed soybean variety with excellent lodging resistance and early middle age.  High adaptability for dense planting and late seeding. The occurrence of brown spots is small, and the appearance quality of the grains is very excellent. Growth characteristics / The stem length is shorter than that of Hatsukari, and it is a medium-stem species similar to Shinmejiro, and the number of main stem nodes is slightly smaller. The number of branches is as small as that of Hatsukari, and the plant type is the main stem type. The stem is thick and the branches are long and slightly thin. If it becomes overgrown, the branches will break a little, but the pods are good. The flowering period is late July, which is similar to that of Hatsukari, and the maturity period is early October, which is a little later than Hatsukari. The number of fruiting days is longer than that of Hatsukari and Shinmejiro. The outbreak of viral disease, disease susceptibility, and Purpura in Sphaceloma scab. Is about the same as that of Shinmejiro. Heterodera glycines is not resistant. Withering disease (occurs after the middle stage of growth. Long browning occurs at the ground edge of the stem, and the entire stem turns dark brown and cracks occur. Black root rot is difficult to distinguish from wilting disease, but the ground The browning of the stems of the giwa does not reach the upper part so much, and it can be distinguished by the fact that innumerable orange to red ascospores are formed in the affected area. Stem plague forms reddish-brown to gray-brown oval lesions on or above the stalk, and the disease progresses rapidly under moist conditions. The disease strain weakens and dies by yellowing.) It occurs slightly, but it is less than Shinmejiro. The occurrence of brown spots due to viral disease is less than that of Shinmejiro. It is lodging resistant and highly adaptable to dense planting. Since the stem weight is much more prosperous than Shinmejiro and the grain-stem ratio is high, the yield is considerably higher than that of Shinmejiro. In late sowing cultivation, the rate of shortening the number of growing days is high, and the adaptability is high. Quality characteristics / The grain is oval and the grain size belongs to the medium size, but it seems that it can be a large grain depending on the cultivation conditions. The seed coat color and umbilicus color are yellow. The luster is “medium” and the grain is well aligned, and the appearance is extremely beautiful like Enrei. The crude protein content is around 41%, which is about 2% higher than that of Shinmejiro, and the crude fat content is around 20%, which is about the same. Suitable for cultivation Tohoku and Kanto prefectures, especially Miyagi prefecture and areas with similar soil meteorology Adopted for recommended varieties: Miyagi prefecture (1978). As of 2020, the soybean planted area in the jurisdiction was about 2068 hectares, Tanrei was about 922 hectares, Miyagi Shirome was about 985 hectares, and “Tachinagaha” was 161 hectares.）, Kinusayaka（Types of agriculture, forestry and fisheries plants Glycine max (L.) Merr.

It was bred by crossing the breeding line owned by the applicant to “Karikei No. 508” from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries variety registration homepage. It is a variety for soymilk and tofu processing with a medium, yellow-white seed coat color. Elongation type is finite, number of branches is medium, hypocotyl is not colored with anthocyanin, main stem length and hair mushroom are medium, color is white, number of main stem nodes is slightly small, bottom pod node height is Inside. The shape of the leaflets is oval, the number is 3, and the flower color is white. The color of the ripe pods and the difficulty of splitting the pods are medium. The seed coat is monochromatic or multicolored, the ground color is yellowish white, the cotyledon color of the grain is yellow, the grain shape is sphere, the navel color is yellow, the size is medium, and the quality is medium. The flowering period is slightly late, the maturity period is late, the ecotype is intermediate, the crude protein and crude fat content is medium, and the presence or absence of lipoxygenase isozyme is completely deficient. The lodging resistance is strong, and the Heterodera glycines resistance is weak. Compared to Suzuyutaka, the flower color is white, lipoxygenase isozyme is completely deficient, and Heterodera glycines resistance is weak, so the flower color is white compared to Suzusayaka. Heterodera glycines It is said that distinction is recognized due to weak resistance.）, etc. are cultivated in the prefecture. Among them, the nationally famous varieties have good taste and flavor, and are the excellent varieties Miyagi Shirome only in Miyagi prefecture, which is praised as one rank higher than domestic soybeans. The precious soybean Miyagi Shirome, which transforms into various shapes, is a large grain soybean. It seems that the name comes from the white color of soybean sprout; navel. Since the astringent taste after heating is suppressed, the slight sweetness exceeds that of other soybeans, and it is attracting attention as the most suitable variety as a raw material for tofu; bean curd. Not only is it delicious, but it also looks good, and it seems that it is often used as a material for Japanese sweets and boiled beans. It is also useful as a valuable soybean that is also popular as a raw material for high-grade miso and natto; fermented soybeans. On May 31, 2021, the operation ceremony of the new pre-cooling facility equipment (vacuum pre-cooling device, etc.) at JA Miyagi Watari was held. There are only a few facilities in the prefecture, and they were set up by utilizing the prefecture’s horticultural special product priority strengthening and maintenance project. The feature of the new pre-cooling facility equipment (vacuum pre-cooling device, etc.) is that it uses an environment-friendly oilless (dry) vacuum pump and can acquire pre-cooling processing data corresponding to traceability. Use of an air-cooled refrigerator for daily maintenance-free. It seems that it is introduced for the purpose of overcoming the competition between production areas in the future by reducing the cost, ensuring the reliability of the production area, etc., with no uneven cooling, excellent freshness maintenance after adjustment, stabilization of quality, etc. JA Miyagi Watari plans to use it for “garland chrysanthemums” and soramame, which are the main products of fava bean, and the extension center is expected to contribute to the improvement of horticultural output. Supports utilization. “Edible chrysanthemum” : It is said to be native to the Mediterranean coast. It is used as a vegetable in Asia such as Japan and China, but it is cultivated mainly for ornamental purposes in Europe because of its beautiful flowers（Shungiku (the scientific name: Chrysanthemum coronarium, Syn, Leucanthemum coronarium, or Glebionis coronaria, the English name: Crown daisy) is a plant native to the Mediterranean coast, and is classified in the genus Chrysanthemum of the family Asteraceae. There is Hanawa Giku (Glebionis carinata) which resembles shingiku, and is a variety cultivated for ornamental purpose in Europe and the United States.）. The type that is often cultivated in Japan is the middle leaf species. Large leaf species with wide leaves and shallow cuts, with slightly wide leaves and many cuts.（There are two types: a stock-stretched type）that has vigorous side branch generation and harvests the whole plant, an upright type that has well-extended side branches and is suitable for picking and harvesting. Although it is a vegetable that is strong against continuous cropping, it is said that there is a risk of damage if the soil fertility decreases. However, the germination rate is low and naive. In addition to hot pot dishes, there are various uses such as sesame sauce, tempura, sardines, miso soup ingredients, and simmered dishes. The contained antioxidant components of the chlorogenic acid（Isochlorogenic acid derivative: It has become clear that antioxidant components control and prevent various physical condition abnormalities and diseases caused by lipid peroxides and active oxygen, and are attracting much attention as a tertiary function of foods. Searching for antioxidants in 43 vegetables, garland chrysanthemum seems to show relatively strong activity.）series are hardly lost by ordinary cooking. It has been confirmed that chlorophyll（葉緑素: Also known as “chlorophyll”. It is a green pigment that is in the chloroplasts of plant cells and is indispensable for photosynthesis. It is said to be good for relieving constipation because it activates the movement of the stomach and intestines. In addition, it is thought that basal metabolism rises because the respiratory movement of the lungs is improved, and that it is good for anemia due to the same effect as iron intake.）has the effect of lowering cholesterol levels and preventing blood clots, and is expected to suppress carcinogens. Beta-carotene is more nutritious than spinach. Studies have shown that when boiled in boiling water for 5 minutes, the residual rate of chlorogenic acids was 44-62%, and the loss was detected in the broth. Short-time heating inactivates ascorbic acid oxidase and polyphenol oxidase in vegetables.

The history of garland chrysanthemum in Okuma, Watari is about 60 years. According to 2016 data, it boasts the highest production volume in Tohoku. Also, the season is from November to March. The leaves are very soft, so the boiling time is short, and it is a very easy-to-use agricultural product because it can be washed and used as it is. In addition, there is almost no waste (parts where the skin and roots are thrown away), so there is no waste. If you wrap it in newspaper and put it in a plastic bag, it will last for a long time and you can enjoy it for a long time. A unique and good scent is a volatile aromatic substance such as α-pinene (a terpene-class organic compound named by the German chemist Friedrich August Kekule von Stradonitz in 1866) and C10H14O, which are said to act on autonomic nerves.

On Wednesday, February 9, 2022, a workshop on drainage measures to promote large-scale open-air gardening utilizing paddy fields was held in Nagaoka, Iwanuma City (Speaking of fruits, melons from Ainokama (sweet jewels in the disaster area, Iwanuma coast). The melons of the club) and the apples of Nagaoka are the best. The apples of Nagaoka are popular with the citizens because they are used for school meals. The hills of the Nagaoka district, where the apple fields are located, have been inhabited since ancient times. It seems that dreams will spread if you excavate in the area where you were. There are 6 districts of Ainokama, Fujisone, Ninokura, Hasekama, Gamasaki, and Shinbama in the coastal area of Iwanuma City, and 515 households 1784 before the Great East Japan Earthquake. People lived. Due to the great tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake, people moved to a new town called Tamauranishi, a disaster prevention group relocated to a place about 3 km away from the coast and inland.) Held in a field in the district. It seems that more than 50 people from corporations in the jurisdiction that cultivate processing potatoes, producers who are interested in wastewater measures, and related organizations participated in this workshop. At the workshop, drainage measures using cut breakers, cut drains, and subsoilers were implemented in each of the three paddy fields where processing potatoes were cultivated, and participants were enthusiastic about the construction of the three equipment and the soil after construction. I heard that there was a lively exchange of opinions during the tour.

Miyagi Prefecture can be roughly divided into several areas. The Sennan area refers to Shiroishi City, Kakuda City, Shibata District, Katta District, and Igu District. It seems that it is also called the southern part of the prefecture. It is a relatively warm area near Fukushima prefecture. The Sanriku region refers to the coastal areas of Kesennuma City, Minamisanriku Town, Tome City, Ishinomaki City, and Matsushima City. Dialects tend to be slightly different in each region. In particular, the dialect spoken in the coastal area called the Sanriku dialect seems to tend to be a strong dialect rather than cute.
