The Sendai Local Meteorological Observatory announced on the morning of July 26, 2022 that the rainy season seems to have ended in the northern part of Tohoku, including Aomori Prefecture. It seems that it was 10 days later than last year and about 2 days earlier than normal. The rainy season has finally come to an end. It is the end of the rainy season, which is two days earlier than normal and ten days later than 2021. Precipitation during the rainy season in 2022 seems to have exceeded normal in Hirosaki, Mutsu, Hachinohe, Aomori, etc. The Kikikuru (risk distribution) announced by the Sendai Local Meteorological Observatory knows where the risk of sediment-related disasters, flood damage, and flood disasters is increasing when warnings are announced or when heavy rains fall. This is information that can be used to save lives. Areas with high risk are displayed in real time on a map with a 1km mesh and 5 levels of color coding. It seems that you can tell at a glance whether you need to evacuate from where you are now. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, an external agency of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Japan is actively promoting the introduction of renewable energy against the backdrop of climate change measures and changes in the energy supply and demand structure. Of these, regarding wind power generation facilities, “Basic policy for comprehensive and systematic promotion of measures for promoting the use of marine areas related to the development of offshore renewable energy power generation facilities (decided by the Cabinet in May 2018) ) ”, And plans to install a large number of wind turbines for power generation, which are much larger than before, are being promoted in various parts of Japan, and the introduction is expected to accelerate in the future. When this windmill is installed near the weather radar, depending on the scale of the windmill, the installation altitude, the distance to the weather radar, etc., the radio waves of the weather radar may be blocked, or false echoes (echoes from other than precipitation, “echoes from other than precipitation,” It seems that it may have a great impact on observations, such as generating (called “non-precipitation echo”) and sometimes damaging the receiver of the weather radar. Since the observation data of the weather radar is one of the most important data in creating the warning risk distribution, it may hinder the publication of disaster prevention weather information. And, the act that impairs the utility of the weather radar installed by the Japan Meteorological Agency without a justifiable reason is Article 37 of the Meteorological Service Act (Meteorological Service Act Maintenance: No one has a justifiable reason, but the Meteorological Agency or No. 1 A meteorological instrument installed outdoors by a person who observes meteorological conditions that must comply with technical standards pursuant to the provisions of Article 6, paragraph 1 or 2 or meteorological and geological conditions (in the case of an earthquake, seismic motion). (Limited to), tsunami, high tide, wave or flood warning signs must not be broken or transferred, or any other action that impairs the utility of these meteorological instruments or signs) seems to be prohibited by the provisions. Aomori Prefecture is famous for apples, but “Tachineputa: A huge doll garden lantern with a height of about 23 m and a weight of about 19t. Every year, one large Tachineputa is held at the “Tachineputa Museum” in the “Tachineputa Factory”. It will be produced together and will join the Tachineputa exhibition room. The glass outer wall of Tachineputa’s mansion is a large movable door, and the door opens, and the large Tachineputa goes to the festival. In the actual performance, three large Tachineputa along with volunteer groups, high schools, neighborhood associations, companies, etc. in the city, led by Chuko drum Tachineputa, parade through the city of Goshogawara, along the road with overwhelming power. Fascinates the audience at the summer festival. Goshogawara City, which is famous for being a festival held from August 4th to August 8th, is also one of the prefecture’s leading apple-producing regions. Although Hiratakinuma Park (Kizukuritateoka Kamisawabe) is located in a lowland area, the wind of the Sea of Japan blows in, so you can feel as if you are on a plateau. On weekends, it is a popular place for families to relax. In spring, the park is filled with beautiful cherry blossoms and is famous as a cherry blossom viewing spot. Tsugaru City Spring Festival : Held in the Kizukuritateoka district. At the venue, “Hiratakinuma Park,” cherry trees have been planted since around 1975, and about 1,000 cherry trees bloom. 1000 cherry blossoms: People who enjoy cherry blossom viewing with about 1000 cherry blossoms such as “Cerasus × yedoensis (Matsum.) Masam. Et Suzuki Somei-yoshino”, “double cherry-blossoms” and “weeping cherry tree” in spring. It is crowded with. Sakura at night: When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, you can enjoy the cherry blossoms at night illuminated by the lights installed along the road that passes through Hiratakinuma Park. The land of “Kizukuri-Kamegaoka”, a wooden structure, has a unique culture that blossomed in the late Jomon period, and many of the excavated items are known as fragrant works of art and are considered academically valuable. Tsugaru Kamegaoka Yaki Shikiroan（Kizukuri-Tateoka Kamisawabe）has a kiln in this area and is named “Tsugaru Kamegaoka Ware”. It is characterized by engraving cinnabar glaze and Jomon patterns and firing it by firing. There are various items such as daily tableware, decorative jars, and handmade shading clay figurines.

More than 50% of the watermelons produced in Tsugaru City are cultivated in the Sea of Japan area centered on the Mt. Most of the shipping destinations are to the Tokai and Kinki regions, and the shipping time is mainly in August. Many varieties are cultivated in the striped king system, and the characteristics of this variety are the good growth of the flesh and the fine meat quality and excellent shelf life. The “Tsugaru City Melon Watermelon Festival” scheduled for August 3rd year of Reiwa will be canceled to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection. I’m sorry I was just looking forward to it. Himekansen is a flesh full of crispness that is comparable to large watermelons. The pericarp is dark green with thick stripes and clear. The second fruit is of the same quality as the first fruit. It is a gem of a small watermelon that is easy to eat because it has few seeds and is sweet to the skin. The vivid colors and refreshing sweetness delight children and the elderly, and are perfect for desserts after meals and hydration in midsummer. Moisten the sowing floor, sow the seeds and lightly sprinkle with soil. After germination, good seedlings are thinned out and planted at a distance of about 1.5 m. After planting, keep warm with a hot cap, etc., or spread straw as the vine grows. Pinch with 7 to 8 true leaves, and stretch and set about 3 cotyledons. Fertilizer should be mainly organic fertilizer such as oil cake and compost before planting, and chemical fertilizer after planting. As a guide, the fruit-bearing node should start from the 15th node. It is important to note that “Himekansen” is a watermelon that opens up a new era, with few seeds and easy to eat, sweet to the skin, one-selling size, thin skin and little kitchen waste. Watermelon, which has been leading the era since its debut, can be said to be a darling. “Tsugaru City” is located in the northwestern part of Aomori Prefecture, west of the central part of the Tsugaru Plain. It borders Nakadomari Town, Kitatsugaru District and Goshogawara City on the east side of the Iwaki River, faces the Sea of Japan on the west side, and its coastline is Shichirinagahama. It is called Kodomari, Nakadomari Town and Ichiura, Goshogawara City in the north, and Ajigasawa Town, Nishitsugaru District in the south, and a hilly area called Mt. Byobu continues along the coast. To the south, you can see Mt. Iwaki, the SHUHO of Tsugaru, and the Shirakami Mountains, a World Heritage Site. In the center, you can open up the vast Tsugaru Plain nurtured by the Iwaki River. A large breadbasket has been formed since the reclamation of Nitta by the famous Tsugaru clan. The area is 253.55 km2, which occupies about 2.6% of the prefecture area, and its land use is 56.0% for agricultural land, 4.5% for residential land, 13.7% for forests, and 25.8% for others. The climate is a typical Sea of Japan-type climate influenced by the Sea of Japan, and it is widely known as an area suitable for rice cultivation and summer-autumn vegetable cultivation because it is relatively cool in summer and the outbreak of pests is suppressed. In winter, there is a lot of snowfall due to the continuous strong winter-type pressure distribution, and traffic may be interrupted due to the blizzard caused by the strong westerly wind peculiar to the Sea of Japan, which affects the lives of residents. “Nishitsugaru District（鰺ヶ沢町, 深浦町）” has been the name of the county since it was divided into five counties: east, west, middle, south, and north with the enactment of the county, ward, town, and village organization law in 1878. A county mayor was assigned to the county, and a county office was set up as its office, giving it the function of a substantial administrative division. Immediately before the enforcement of the municipal system in 1889, 108 villages in 11 towns were counted, but after the enforcement of the system: Ajigasawa Village, Maito Village, Nakamura, Akaishi Village, Naruzawa Village, Wooden Village, Tateoka Village, Shussei Village, Koshimizu Village, Shibata Village, Kawase Village, Fukaura Village, Odose Village, Iwasaki Village, Morita Village, Kashiwa Village, Inagaki Village , Shariki Village, Mizumoto Village, 13 Villages established. With the promulgation of the county system in 1890, the county was stipulated as an intermediate administrative agency between prefectures and municipalities, and a parliament (county council) was established to give it the function of a local government. However, since the county as a municipality (county council and county autonomy) was abolished in 1923, and the county as an administrative agency (gun mayor and county council) was abolished in 1926, the county has become a mere geographical division. It has become. After that, due to the merger of cities, towns and villages in 1955, there were 8 towns and villages. In addition, out of the 5 towns and villages that form this area, 4 towns and villages (Morita village and Shariki village are transitional groups up to 2004) have been designated as depopulated areas, and the outflow and decrease of the population continues. There seems to be. Tsugaru City was born on February 11, 2005 by merging the former Kizukuri Town, the former Morita Village, the former Kashiwa Village, the former Inagaki Village, and the former Shariki Village, and is famous as the ninth city in Aomori Prefecture. The city makes history as a land that was once a barren wetland, and was cultivated by its predecessors with unremitting efforts to confront adverse conditions and various obstacles in order to cultivate new rice fields. The paddy field landscape with fresh greenery in early summer and the magnificent rural landscape with golden rice ears in autumn swaying in the wind are one of the pride of the national ward. The beautiful Mt. Byobu windbreak landscape is the result of more than 200 years of tree planting projects that our predecessors have continued to protect Nitta from the strong westerlies from the Sea of Japan and the dust flying from the large sand dunes. 七里長浜: As the name suggests, Nanari Nagahama, which extends from Kawajiri in Ajigasawa to near Lake Jusanko, is a long sandy beach that is over 28 km (about 7 ri). Since it is a sandy beach where no one lives, it is a place with a high degree of naturalness (Sakurai, Shishin). On the inland side of the windbreak, there are countless large and small swamps such as Lake Tappi. Brackish water bentos such as Corbicula japonica inhabit the estuary of Lake Jusanko and the Iwaki River. The beautiful Mt. Byobu windbreak landscape is the result of more than 200 years of tree planting projects that our predecessors have continued to protect Nitta from the strong westerlies from the Sea of Japan and the dust flying from the large sand dunes.

The world’s largest buried forest about 28,000 years ago, Japan’s oldest apple tree, and estimated to be about 1,000 years old: There are Fraxinus mandshurica var. Japonica（一本タモ: An estimated 1000-year-old Manchurian Ash. The hump on the trunk is said to look like a woman’s breast, and has been worshiped locally as a “milking god” for some time.）, which is said to be the largest in Japan. International exchange is also active, and it has become a sister city after rescuing the crew of the “Cheseborough（A sailor was dying on the beach, but there was an episode that a woman in the village warmed her skin.）”, a sailing ship in Bus City, Maine, USA, which ran aground in the Sea of Japan (off Shariki) in 1889. At the annual Chessborough Cup Swimming Ekiden Tournament, players from the bus city as well as the whole country participate, and it is said that it is a big event that can be said to be a world tournament. Benche wetlands : One of the representative marshes of Tsugaru National Park, which has an altitude of about 20 m and an area of about 23 ha. Academically valuable coastal low-rise and middle-rise wetlands (wetlands made up of multiple layers of moss). In early June, Hemerocallis dumortieri C. Morren var. Esculenta (Koidz.) Kitam. Ex M.

This marshland, where various flowers are in full bloom, was designated as one of Japan’s 100 Best Nature in 1983. In the city, efforts to contribute to the sound development of agriculture, forestry and fisheries promoted along with the development of renewable energy power generation facilities : From two large-scale wind power generation companies in the city (Green Power Tsugaru LLC., Mahoroba Wind Power Generation Co., Ltd.), a part of the revenue from the sale of electricity from the wind power generation business will be used as funds for regional promotion measures in the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industry. Received the intended donation. In April 2020, the Tsugaru City Agricultural, Mountain and Fishing Village Revitalization Project Fund Ordinance was enacted and the fund started operation in order to use the donations to finance the expenses used for regional promotion projects in the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industry. Tsuruta Tawn, Kitatsugaru District : A town with an area of 46.40 km2 and a population of about 15,000, whose core industry is agriculture, which mainly cultivates paddy rice and apples. The production of the grape varieties “steuben grape” is also famous as the best in Japan. “Tsuruta Town History and Culture Tradition Hall” Founded in 1897, built in 1945 (former Mizumoto Elementary School). Location: “Life” is the 24th Taiga drama broadcast from January 5th to December 14th, 1986. eye.

Many cranes（Grus japonensis (Müller（Philipp Ludwig Statius Müller, 独 ）,1766)）flew in during the Edo period, “Japanese crane Nature Park” Crane and International Exchange Village: Crane Festival. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”, It was introduced to Japan in 1871 from the United States, and in 1875, three seedlings were distributed by the government at that time to Aomori Prefecture, the birthplace of breeding. It is mainly harvested from late August, and it seems that apples are harvested until early December. This excellent produce, loved by everyone, is a wase variety harvested from late August to mid-September. Nakate species harvested from late September to mid-October. It seems that it can be roughly divided into three types, the okute species that are harvested from late October to around December, and the harvest time. During the pandemic on February 3, 2022, the Goshotsugaru Agricultural Cooperative told the Goshogawara City Social Welfare Council during the pandemic on February 3, 2022 that 1 ton of rice was milled (locally produced romance rice (a rice variety belonging to the Japonica variety)). It is a rice variety and a brand name of rice. One of the representative brands of rice produced in Aomori Prefecture. It was designated as a recommended variety in Aomori Prefecture from February 1996 and is produced mainly in the central Tsugaru area.（Fu Type No. 141 rice × Akita Komachi rice) 100 bags containing 10 kg) are donated. Rice milled at the agricultural cooperative’s facility “Global Rice（The first rice milling facility was completed in March 2020 in the Umeta district of Goshogawara city. When milling rice, it seems that a variety of sorting machines, including the latest full-color optical sorting machine, are installed to prevent foreign matter from entering the product. Vacuum-packed rice-polished products prevent oxidation. In addition, we have installed a packaging machine that can handle roll tubes, gussets, flat bags, flexible containers, etc. as the bagging method, and support various shipping forms.）” is used with the latest full-color optical sorter to prevent foreign matter from entering as much as possible. It seems that the taste is very good because it was stored in a low temperature storage facility even after the rice was milled. On the same day, the agricultural cooperative also donated 500 kg of polished rice (equivalent to 50 bags containing 10 kg) to the Tsugaru City Council of Social Welfare. The secretariat of the council seems to be widely used for community-based welfare projects for needy households. JA Goshotsugaru was born on July 1, 2009 by the merger of Goshogawara City Agricultural Cooperative and Kizukuri Town Agricultural Cooperative. Jonagold Apple: Raised by the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station（College of Agriculture and Life Sciences ; Cornell University（United States educator who in 1865 (with Ezra Cornell) founded Cornell University and served as its first president (1832-1918) . United States businessman who unified the telegraph system in the United States and who in 1865 (with Andrew D. White) founded Cornell University (1807-1874) .）in the United States in 1953. Seed parent “Golden Delicious Apple” × pollen parent “Jonathan Apple”. Announced in 1968 and introduced in Japan in 1970. This photo is cultivated without a bag. The shipping time is from mid-October to late December, and we are waiting every year. A state-of-the-art apple sorting machine was installed in the central apple center in Goshogawara city in 2012, and in addition to the internal quality sensor and AI vision that automatically measure sugar content, acidity, color, etc. to determine the grade, it is for shipping. It seems that they have introduced a robot palletizer that stacks boxes on a pallet with a robot arm. I heard that the daily processing capacity is 3,000 cases (10 kg box). As a safety and security initiative, it is stipulated to keep a cultivation diary about the work contents of the day, fertilizers and pesticides used. Shipment of crops without a cultivation diary is stopped. In addition, it seems that a system is in place to disclose information at any time. Regulation of production standards / As a field inspection, it seems that production standards that define cultivation methods will be set, and production control and guidance will be provided in accordance with these standards. In addition, it seems that they regularly conduct on-site inspections in the field. In the future, it seems that consumers will establish “traceability system” that allows them to track the production, processing, and distribution channels of agricultural products, secure more transparent information, and strive to improve consumer confidence. JA Goshotsugaru has 6 varieties of “Amu-san Melon”, “Home Billance Melon”, “Urban Delicious Melon”, “Sweet Ruby Melon”, “Honey Golden Melon” and “Lennon Melon”. A producer cultivating melons in the Tsugaru district of Aomori Prefecture was established in June 1997 for the purpose of quality improvement, product branding, and consumption expansion promotion business. (Aomori Original Melon Production Liaison Council) Tsugaru City, Aomori Prefecture is said to be suitable for melon cultivation because of its good drainage and the difference in temperature between day and night. “Honey Golden Melon” is a member of Tsugarian Melon, which is the last to arrive among the 6 varieties, and has a very smooth texture called Melting quality: texture that melts in the mouth. It has a nice flesh and can be eaten up to the skin. Since it is harvested with a sugar content of 15 degrees or more as a guide, it has a strong sweetness and is a refreshing characteristic despite being juicy. “Tsugaru Brand Melon” certified as “Tsugaru Brand” and Hiroka Hirosaki Chuo Fruit and Vegetables Co., Ltd. (Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture) are instructing and selling “Tsugarian Melon Melon” and “Honey Golden Melon”. Based on the trademark registration system of the Patent Office, the application for registration was filed in 1999 and registered in 2000.
A variety born in the United States, the Akita Fruit Tree Experiment Station was introduced in Japan in 1970. The fruit weighs about 350g and is brightly colored with a crimson color on a yellow background. It is conical and has dull red stripes on the skin. The flesh is dense and famous as a variety with an excellent balance of sweetness and acidity. More specifically, in 1943 at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in the United States, “Golden Delicious apples” were crossed with “Kogyoku apples” and selected, and the name was announced in 1968. It’s tasty, but it has a refreshing impression with just the right amount of acidity. In addition, the sweetness is in harmony with the acidity, and it is characterized by a slightly soft and crispy texture.
An optical sensor type fruit sorter that can check the internal situation and convert it into data seems to be effective for fruit growth management. It seems that it is possible to check whether the sugar content and acidity change when the type of fertilizer, the amount of water given, and the harvest time are changed. It seems to be useful for creating new varieties, changing the way of growing, and producing more delicious fruits. It seems that the advantage of the optical sensor fruit sorter is that it contributes not only to the selection at the time of shipment but also to the management of the growing situation and the decision of the future growing policy. The fruit color chart for coloring is based on the Fruit Tree Experiment Station standard of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and it can be used as a unified scale because it is possible to judge the ripeness of fruits, timely harvest, and compare between production areas using the standard color chart. It is sold by the Japan Horticultural Agricultural Cooperative Association. In detail, fruit color is an important index for determining the optimal harvest time, ripening control, quality control, etc., but color information is a human sense and contains psychological and empirical factors. Evaluation is not easy, and it seems that color charts are used as evaluation criteria. As a color chart for evaluating the color of fruits, it was commercialized under the supervision of the Fruit Tree Experiment Station of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (currently the Fruit Tree Tea Industry Research Division, National Research and Development Corporation, National Agriculture and Food Research Organization), and the Japan Horticultural Agriculture Cooperative Association. There seems to be a standard fruit color plate for fruits sold by the federation. However, since this color chart is limited to compatible items and varieties and is composed of a single-color rectangular chart, there is a large error by the evaluator in evaluating the color of fruits with irregularities and patterns on the surface. It seems that the problem will occur.
