At the end of May 2022, it seems that a sales event for vegetable seedlings raised by local high school students was held in Nayoro City, Hokkaido. It seems that 18 local students from the dairy science department of Nayoro Sangyo High School are sowing seeds at the beginning of April this year and selling the grown vegetable seedlings every year as part of the class. It seems that the sales event was held in six separate sales hours in order to thoroughly implement measures against the new coronavirus. There are 18 kinds of vegetable seedlings such as tomatoes and cucumbers, and 740 pots are lined up, and the price is cheap, so it seems that many citizens who buy them have visited. Stagflation: Prices are not as high in Japan as in the West, but the momentum of recovery from the “COVID-19 pandemic” is weak and remarkable. If the global blow spreads, Japan will be affected, and the recession of 1974, which was the first negative growth after the war due to frenzied prices, could become a reality. The better the world is, the less sweet it is. In order not to become a lost country, the people must work together to confront. The economic growth rate was minus 0.8%, which was the first negative growth after the war. The slump in the energy-intensive heavy chemical industry was unavoidable due to the reduction in the use of oil and electricity. Before the oil crisis in the fall of 1973, the economies of developed countries were in the process of calming down from the overheated economy. The simultaneous boom in developed countries from the fall of 1972 to the spring of 1973 caused excess-demand inflation, and the tightening policies taken to correct it caused some decline in demand such as housing construction by the fall of 1973. Perhaps, even without the oil crisis, the 1974 world economy would have experienced at least a stagnant phase in reaction to the 1972-1973 boom. However, the oil crisis has spread the recession worldwide and has made it the toughest post-war recession. The sharp rise in oil prices and the soaring prices of commodities inspired by it have a deflationary effect due to the deterioration of the terms of trade of consuming countries, and even if it is not, inflation, which was already high, has reached double digits in many countries. Needless to say, it accelerated and made the current balance of oil-consuming countries almost all in the red. Nayoro City is located almost in the center of the Nayoro Basin formed by the Teshio River in the north and Hokkaido, and borders Omu Town and Shimokawa Town in the east, Horokanai Town in the west, Shibetsu City in the south, and Bifuka Town in the north. The city area is close to a square with 29 km east-west and 34.5 km north-south, and has an administrative area of 535.20 km2. National highway No. 40 runs north and south, National highway No. 239 runs on the east side, and the Soya main line runs north and south, forming a wide living area as a transportation hub and developing as a central city in north and Hokkaido, rice field. In recent years, limited express trains have operated on the Soya Main Line, and the Hokkaido Transit Expressway has opened to the Shibetsu-Kenbuchi Interchange, shortening the time to the Central Hokkaido area centered on Sapporo City, mainly in fields such as tourism and industry. It seems that the economic effect is appearing. Since the climate is the Sea of Japan type and belongs to the inland area, the temperature difference between summer and winter is as large as 60 degrees or more, and from May to October it is relatively hot and bright, and the rainfall is average for all roads. It is below. In 2018, the average annual temperature was 6.1 degrees Celsius, the maximum temperature was 34.5 degrees Celsius, the minimum temperature was minus 24.6 degrees Celsius, the annual sunshine time was 1,438.8 hours, the rainfall was 1051 mm, the snowfall was 5,12 m, and the deepest snow depth was 1,40 m. In winter, due to the cold weather, you can enjoy the natural phenomena such as “diamond dust（The appearance of water vapor in the air crystallizing and shining brilliantly looks like a diamond, so it is called fine ice. The temperature is below freezing 10 degrees Celsius. And it is said that the weather is fine, there is no wind, and the dawn is desired. Good visibility and moderate humidity are also considered to be important factors.）” and “sun pillars（A mysterious phenomenon that makes it look as if a pillar of light is falling from the sky when certain weather conditions are met. It is thought that the hexagonal plate-shaped crystals contained in the clouds floating in a horizontal state reflect the sunlight to generate a beautiful sun pillar in the world.）” that are hard to see. The history of the city begins in 1899 when the former village names “Tayoro Village” and “Kaminayoro Village” came under the jurisdiction of the Kocho government office, which is one of the three villages outside Kenbuchi Village. After that, in 1902, both villages came under the jurisdiction of the two village head offices outside the village of Nayoro. Former Furen Town changed from Tayoro Village to Furen Village in 1938, and the town system was enforced in 1953. It became Nayoro Town in 1915 from Nayoro Village, and after merging with Chiebun Village in 1954, the city system was enforced in 1956. Furthermore, in March 2006, Furen Town and Nayoro City merged to form a new “Nayoro City”, and a new history began. Depopulated Area Independence Promotion Special Measures Law: Municipalities whose areas are depopulated areas announced based on the provisions of Article 2, Paragraph 2 (designated on March 27, 2016). Special heavy snowfall area: Special measures law for heavy snowfall area: Municipalities with special heavy snowfall area announced based on the provisions of Article 2, Paragraph 3 (designated in 1971). Underdeveloped Area Industrial Development Promotion Law: Municipalities with underdeveloped area industrial development districts announced based on the provisions of Article 2, Paragraph 5 (designated in 1962), Nayoro Shibetsu districts (Nayoro City, Shibetsu City, Wassamu Town, Kembuchi Town, Shimokawa Town, Bifuka Town). The city is a rural area where delicious crops grow. The first hoe was put in by people who migrated from Yamagata prefecture in 1900. At that time, there was a dense forest of giant trees such as Yezo Spruce, populus maximowicz, red spruce, and oak, and the only means of transportation was the Teshio River boat. In 1903, when a railroad was laid from Asahikawa to Nayoro as the “Teshio Line”, lumber companies who were aware of the abundant timber came one after another from inside and outside of Hokkaido, and the primeval forest that was hindering the clearing was Forest. It seems that it has been in the limelight as a treasure trove of. Picea jezoensis, also known as “Teshio pine,” was also exported overseas. I heard that the peak of the lumber industry is from 1906 to 1918. It is said that timber was gathered from the surrounding forest areas such as Nakagawa, Otoineppu, and Uryu, and a huge amount of wealthy timber was piled up around Nayoro Station. The private residence of the Nishida clan (currently Yuki Akarikan: designated manager (Nayoro Bisou Kogyo Co., Ltd.)), which led the timber economy, and the Nayoro Church built in 1909 convey the remnants of those days. The city is widely known as the largest glutinous rice planting area in Japan. About 90% of paddy fields produce glutinous rice, and one-third of the glutinous rice produced in Hokkaido is Nayoro. It was around 1970 that eight farmers gathered and started full-scale glutinous rice cultivation. This is the year when the government started a “reduction policy” to regulate rice production. At that time, non-glutinous rice produced in Hokkaido was rated low, and Nayoro, which was the northernmost part of rice cultivation and was not blessed with weather conditions, was hit hard. Cultivation of glutinous rice was the choice to stand up from such adversity. If glutinous rice, which is usually eaten as a staple food, and glutinous rice, which is often processed, are mixed, the quality will deteriorate. Rice farmers decided to “make glutinous rice that does not mix with non-waxy rice, even if they buy the rice they eat every day,” and in 1979, switched to glutinous rice in all paddy fields. After that, the cultivation of glutinous rice increased in the neighboring Furencho (currently Nayoro City), and it seems that it became the number one glutinous rice production complex in Japan. Glutinous rice produced in Nayoro is soft and sticky, and is characterized by being hard to harden over time. This was accepted, and famous products such as “Akafuku”, a famous confectionery in Ise, “Original Kibidango”, a specialty of Okayama, and “Rice cake of a red been”, a major convenience store maker, were produced. It seems that glutinous rice has come to be used. In order to make Japan’s best glutinous rice the pride of the region, the “Motto! Glutinous Rice Project” has also been developed and is gaining popularity. The city where the Dohoku Nayoro Agricultural Cooperative (hereinafter referred to as “JA Dohoku Nayoro”) is located is located in the center of the Nayoro Basin in northern Hokkaido, between the Teshio River and the Nayoro River, rather than east and west. It has a long shape from north to south. Geographically, it is located at 44 degrees north latitude and 142 degrees east longitude, which is quite north of Hokkaido, and is located north of Asahikawa City on National Highway No. 40. It is prospering as the core area next to Asahikawa in the Kamikawa jurisdiction. The Nayoro area has a climate peculiar to the basin, which has the largest “temperature difference” in Hokkaido, and the temperature difference between summer and winter is actually about 60 degrees (maximum 39.3 degrees to minimum minus 38.5 degrees). And, in a climate where the temperature difference between day and night is large regardless of the season, this temperature difference increases the sugar content of crops and suppresses the outbreak of pests, so it is suitable for safe and secure clean agriculture. Taking advantage of its climate in the Nayoro region, it is known as one of the leading producers of glutinous rice, which boasts the largest acreage in Japan, squash, asparagus, and sweet corn for fruits and vegetables. “Picnic corn” is a new variety developed in recent years, and is a highly rare sweet corn with a small cultivated area nationwide. It is a corn with a strong sweetness that has an average sugar content of 18 degrees, and it is delicious even when eaten raw, and because it has a lot of water, it can be enjoyed like a fruit. Developed by PIONEER ECOSCIENCE CO., LTD., It is an improved variety called “Mirai（It is a popular variety with a very strong sweetness and soft grain skin, which is also called miracle sweet corn. The sugar content is higher than other varieties, and the average sugar content is around 12 degrees. Even if you eat it raw, you can enjoy a strong sweetness, but if you heat it, you can enjoy it even more, and if you boil it, you can enjoy even more sweetness and juiciness. The arrangement of the grains is uniform, the fruit is well contained, and the grains tend to grow to the tip.）”, which has a yellow grain, and is characterized by its soft and crispy texture and strong sweetness. History of Seed Subsidiaries: August 1984 Pioneer Highbread Japan Co., Ltd. was established as a joint venture between Pioneer Overseas Corporation (USA) and Joy Brothers Co., Ltd. (Japan). From the perspective that the interests of agricultural producers must meet the needs of consumers, the Horticultural Seed Department has added value while always thinking about what the value of agricultural products will be for consumers in the future. It is said that they are simultaneously selecting attractive varieties for breeding, developing and disseminating cultivation techniques that are not based on common wisdom, and proposing food to consumers at the same time. The small sweet corn “Picnic corn” can be harvested from 1 to 2 ears that can be sold with about 50% of the number of planted plants without detubing, and the yield equal to or higher than that of “Mirai 390 corn” can be secured. The size and tip sterile length of the first ear are the same regardless of the presence or absence of the bunch treatment. The second ear of the strain not subjected to the bunch treatment weighs about 85% of the first ear. Although it varies a little, it is possible to harvest ears that can be sold with about 50% of the number of planted plants. The sugar content is higher than that of “Mirai 390 corn” and the taste is better regardless of whether or not the planting treatment is performed. Cultivation is labor-saving by not performing the bunch treatment, and by harvesting 1 to 2 ears, it is possible to harvest 1.1 times the yield and 1.5 times the number of ears compared to “Mirai 390 corn”. It was that. Since the plant height is rather high and the lodging resistance is inferior, we will strive for proper fertilization in accordance with the fertilization guidance standards. Sowing date: (tunnel cultivation), March 7, 2005 (open field) April 15, 2005, fertilizer application amount: N-P2O5-K2O = 25-22-22 kg / 10 a, bitter lime 100 kg / 10 a, FTE 4 kg / 10 a, compost 2000 kg / 10 a, planting style: ridge width 150 cm, spacing 27 cm double planting (4938 strains / 10 a). 山梨総農セ/ 栽培部 / 野菜科-NARO: Research subject name: Understanding the characteristics of varieties of vegetables for direct sale and establishing production technology, Budget classification: Prefectural unit, Research period: 2005-2006. The ears are palm-sized. A perfect size for picnics and snacks. The length of the ear is about 15 cm, but it is almost the same diameter as “Mirai 390 corn”, and the grain of the fruit is tightly set to the tip. The grain color is a beautiful single color of pearl yellow, which is appetizing. The taste has the same high quality as the popular Mirai, and it is attracting attention as a variety that can be enjoyed more easily as a snack or fruit than 味来 corn.
