Chiba Midori Agricultural Cooperative is located in the northeastern part of Chiba Prefecture, in a warm area with high agricultural productivity with various soil conditions such as sandy loam, loam, clay soil, and volcanic ash soil consisting of the Toso Plateau and the Kujukuri Plain. JA was born in January 2001 as one. As a production area that has been built up over many years, the members of the cooperative work hard at production while learning from the hardships and efforts of their predecessors, and bring benefits to us. The production situation in the jurisdiction is divided into upland farming, rice farming, livestock farming, dairy farming, fruit trees, and plants, and it seems that a wide variety of agricultural products are produced and sold. Taking advantage of the characteristics of early cultivation of rice, we are working on specially cultivated rice with reduced pesticides and chemical fertilizers, and for vegetables, we produce 60 items a year, including outdoor and indoor vegetables, and have many branded products. Agricultural product sales in FY2020 were 22,637,870,000 yen for horticulture, 1,776,450,000 yen for agricultural products, and 3,853,280,000 yen for livestock.

As an overview of green onion production in the Sosa area, long onion cultivation in the jurisdiction has a long history, and it seems that it began in the Hikari-machi district (now Yokoshibahikari-machi) in the 1955s. Currently, the cultivation area has expanded to Sosa City and Asahi City, and it seems that the long green onions produced in the jurisdiction are branded as high-quality “Hikari green onion”. Cultivation is in autumn / winter, spring, satsuki satsuki, and summer, and 700,000 cases are shipped annually. In 1994, a central collection and shipping facility equipped with a pre-cooling storage facility began operation, enabling further quality improvement and shipping in accordance with customer requests. In recent years, the company has faced various challenges, such as an increase in cheap imported green onions, outbreaks of pests that are difficult to control, and the aging of producers. It seems that they are working to maintain and improve the brand’s production area. “地球の丸く見える丘展望館”, Located at the top of Mt. Atago, the highest in the northeastern part of the prefecture.

It has a higher sugar content than other varieties, and is said to have an average sugar content of 12% or more. You can taste the strong sweetness even if you eat it raw, and it will increase even more if you heat it, and if you eat it boiled, the sweetness and juiciness will stand out even more. In addition, the arrangement of the grains is uniform, and the grains are well loaded, and the grains seem to grow to the tip.）, 恵味G-corn（Raised by Shimizu Seed Co., Ltd. in Ichiba, Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture. The yellow grains are glossy and the grains are well packed. Naka-Wase yellow variety matures about 88 days after sowing in proper cultivation. It has a strong sweetness, and the grain skin is soft, and the taste is particularly excellent. Since the sugar content is low and the skins are slow to shrivel, there is a wide range of suitable harvesting periods and the ability to maintain freshness is said to be outstanding.）, ピュアホワイトcorn（Developed by Snow Brand Seed Co., Ltd. (Atsubetsu Ward, Hokkaido), a member of the Megmilk Snow Brand（雪印メグミルク）Group, it is a Nakate variety that can be harvested in about 88 days after sowing, and it bears fruit all the way to the tip. White grains that do not become dull even when boiled, have a strong sweetness, and the skin is soft and easy to eat. It seems to be suitable for restraint cultivation.）. Annual shipment volume, 667,000 cases (1 case = 5 kg).
Chiba Prefecture’s Teachings According to Chiba’s bounty, corn is one of the vegetables that loses its freshness the most. It is recommended to eat it as soon as possible because the composition changes drastically after harvesting. Try to boil or bake them as soon as you get them. If you can’t eat it all, it seems to be useful to freeze the boiled ones. If you want to save it, soak the cut end in water, or soak a newspaper in water and wrap it tightly and store it in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator. Freshness and harvest time are key points when choosing. It seems that the ones with the skin on are better than the peeled ones. The skin is juicy and the tip of the flag leaf is sharp, the skin is dark green, and the hair is brown or blackish brown. There is a possibility that those that are swollen or those that do not swell at the tip are immature. It seems that late-harvested grains have hardened skins and become dry and less sweet. The male flowers of corn are the spike-like spikes of the corn at the tip of the stalk, and the female flowers are attached to the silk thread on the head of the corn. The pollen that comes out of the male flower at the tip of the stalk is blown by the wind to the tip of the pistil and bears fruit. If the pollination is normal, the number of fruits will be the same as the number of silk threads. This excellent agricultural product was considered to be a phenomenon different from the “law of heredity” of Gregor Johann Mendel (1822-1884), who was born in Xenia (now Czech Republic), but the mechanism of double fertilization peculiar to angiosperms was clarified. As a result, the mechanism of this phenomenon has also been solved. The pollen that scatters from the dent corn pollinates the pistil of the sweet corn, and then fertilization occurs. The germinating pollen has two male nuclei and the ovule egg in the pistil. The nucleus and polar nucleus are fertilized to form the seed embryo and endosperm, respectively. The male nucleus carries half of the parent’s genetic information and, if it is a dominant trait, produces seeds of the color and taste of dent corn. The whisker-like pistil grows, and each of them pollinates and fertilizes. It seems that seeds and seeds of different colors and shapes can be formed on one ear depending on the traits of the male nucleus.), and the influence of pollen seems to appear immediately. In order to cultivate yellow, white, and bicolor flowers according to their original characteristics, it seems necessary to prevent other pollen from entering. It is necessary to pay attention to the direction of the wind and the separation distance from other varieties.
Chiba Prefecture is known as a “treasure trove of food” because it produces a variety of agricultural, forestry and fishery products. The freshness of the corn is important, so the fresh, juicy corn grown locally in Chiba Prefecture is the most recommended. It is also cultivated throughout the prefecture. In 2018, the production value was 3.6 billion yen, and the planted area was 1,750 ha, making it the second largest production area in Japan in terms of both production value and planted area. This excellent produce is characterized by its sweet, fruity aroma and refreshing texture, and is a unique taste that can be enjoyed by adults and Kid’s alike. Since the sugar content decreases after harvesting, each production area in the prefecture is working on quality improvement, such as developing morning picking and vacuum pre-cooling facilities, making it fresher and more juicy.
Sweet corn harvested early in the morning, when it tastes the most delicious, is pre-cooled in a vacuum at the collection point (excess moisture evaporates during cooling, so quality is maintained even when harvested in the rain) and shipped chilled to the core, ensuring freshness. It is shipped to the market and consumers with sincerity while maintaining the.
