In the 1880s, Tochigi prefectural governor Michitsune Mishima (1835-1888: a native of Kagoshima Prefecture. He was the central figure in establishing Choko Co., the predecessor of Mishima Farm. In 1884, Nishinasuno area (Nasushiobara City) and Tochigi Prefecture In 1906, 18 years after his death, Mishima farm immigrants built Mishima Shrine as a token of their gratitude.), Josaku Innami (1831-1888), and Takeshi Yaita (1849-1922) and others opened the Nasu Canal, and it was one of the three major canals in Japan, along with the Asaka Canal in Fukushima Prefecture and the Lake Biwa Canal in Shiga Prefecture. In addition, it is rich in tourism, history, and history, such as the hot spring town of Shiobara, which developed after the discovery of the original hot spring in 806, and modern heritage sites such as the former Nasu Canal water intake facility, which has been designated as an important cultural property of the country, and the former Nasu villa of the Aoki family. Has cultural resources. In 1934, the Kuroiso district urban area and Shiobara district were designated as city planning areas, and in 1956, the Nishinasuno district was designated as a city planning area. People have drawn water from rivers and lakes since ancient times, and it seems to be a common practice throughout the world.

In Nasushiobara City, there are many villages where houses, mainly farmers, are lined up along the road, and it seems to be one of the characteristic landscapes. Rows of settlements (houses facing south) are often found along highways such as the old Oshu Kaido Road and Aizu Naka Kaido Road（It's an illusion, but Connected Sakura City, Tochigi Prefecture and Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture）, as well as along irrigation canals in the Edo period. Kami-Onuki and Shimo-Onuki are almost continuous with Kami-Ishigami and Shimo-Ishigami in Otawara City, and it seems to be one of the largest in Japan. Many of these settlements are well-planned settlements, and the houses are built after allocating residential land, and the width of each house seems to be almost the same. Onuki area: homestead woodland, hip gable roof (a small roof attached to the lower part of the gable roof that can be attached over the window or entrance), cotton field village, distant view (Mt. Nasudake in the b...

Thünen's Isolated Countries on Agriculture and National Economy: Adam Smith knew that the value of things and things was not in their "exchange value (economic value)" but in their "use value", and He aimed for a system of knowledge, but failed, and became the founder of the economics of exchange value. His main work, The Wealth of Nations, is a spirited book. "In agriculture, nature also works with humans. But in manufacturing, nature does nothing, humans do everything." Needless to say, I couldn't "study" rather than do it. Albrecht Theer (1752-1828) was a German agronomist who is internationally acclaimed as the founder of modern agricultural science. In Japan, he is introduced as a person who integrated and systematized agricultural science, including technology centered on economics, and established it as an independent biological science. He is also known for establishing the "organic nutrition theory'' that the nutrition of plants is humus and the "principle of crop rotation'' based on the reproduction of soil fertility through the circulation of organic matter. Therefore, in modern Europe, it seems to be re-evaluated as the bible of organic agriculture. In addition to his duties as court physician, he seems to have been active as a member and special commissioner of the Royal Agricultural Society, which was formed with the aim of improving agriculture. After researching agriculture in England, which was undergoing reforms, he set out again from the reality of German agriculture. research and education. Based on the results of his research, he wrote Principles of Rational Agriculture. In order to run agriculture, it is said that the most necessary things are the ability of the farmer, capital, and land. He argued that agricultural methods should be selected based on the results of chemistry. The agricultural revolution brought about changes such as the abolition of fallow, the introduction of fodder crops, the maintenance of soil fertility through the combination of crops, the cereal-grass farming method combined with livestock housekeeping, and the rolling farming method. Was four times the amount sown, but by the 18th century it had increased dramatically to ten times. Well, what is the end of Japanese agriculture??

The amendment to the Law Concerning Agricultural Committees (Law No. 88 of 1951) came into effect on April 1, 2016, and the most important task for agricultural committees is to promote the optimization of agricultural land use. It is clearly positioned as an essential task. In Sakaide City, flat land and hilly and mountainous land are mixed, and it seems that the use of farmland and the type of farming are different depending on the region. In hilly and mountainous areas, there is concern about the expansion of idle farmland due to the aging of cultivators and damage from birds and animals. While efforts are being made to prevent and eliminate such problems, since land-based agriculture centered on rice and vegetables is popular on flatlands, regional planning (Bill for Partial Revision of the Agricultural Management Base Strengthening Promotion Act (No. 56 of 2022), based on the provisions of Article 19, Paragraph 1 of the Agricultural Management Base Strengthening Promotion Law (No. 65 of 1980) after the revision, municipalities, based on the results of discussions with farmers, etc. For each person in charge of agriculture as a goal for efficient and comprehensive use of agricultural land. This refers to clarified and published maps, etc. that indicate the agricultural land to be used.）in the farmland based on It seems that it is necessary to work on usage adjustment utilizing the space management business. Sakaide is an area that has been associated with salt since ancient times, as evidenced by the excavation of salt pottery from the Yayoi and Kofun periods. Then, in the Edo period, Eizaemon Kume (1780-1841), who established the city as a town of salt, appeared. He was born in Kagawa as the son of a boat rudder craftsman. Calling himself "Michikata", he made a name for himself as a master of artillery and artillery. In 1824, when the finances of the Takamatsu clan were declining and the people were suffering from poverty, he decided to restore the finances of the clan and cultivate salt fields off the shallow coast of Sakaide in order to save the people. Yorihiro Matsudaira（1798-1842, Father: Harunori Tokugawa, 7th lord of Hitachi Mito Domain Father-in-law: Yorinori Matsudaira, 8th lord of Sanuki Takamatsu Domain. 9th lord of Sanuki Takamatsu Domain). In 1826, he became Fushin-bugyo (shogunate official responsible for public works) at Sakaide new rice field. In addition, the approximately 20,000 ryo from the clan was not enough, and a total of approximately 1,940,000 people were mobilized with their own funds. Three years later, in 1829, approximately 132 ha of salt fields, including Higashi-Ohama and Nishi-Ohama, were cultivated. successful. He is famous as the person who created Japan's first survey map before Tadataka Ino (1745-1818), a great man from Kujukuri Town, Sanmu County, Chiba Prefecture.

On December 13, 2022, 14 third graders from Kuwayama Elementary School (Okamoto) are experiencing broccoli harvesting. With the cooperation of local producers, each elementary school in Toyonaka Town, Mitoyo seems to do this every year. Before the harvesting experience, a staff member of the Kagawa Prefecture Seisan Agricultural Improvement and Extension Center explained about the history and characteristics of broccoli. Listening to the story, the children learn that local broccoli production is thriving. I am deeply impressed by the magnificence of the teaching staff, who consider the field of food education, which is greatly influenced by the growth process, to be a valuable experience, and impose hands-on experience. In addition, the main production areas of broccoli in the Kagawa irrigation district are Takamatsu City, Sakaide City, Mitoyo City, and Kanonji City. Among the 863 million tons of annual water volume newly developed for the Sameura Dam by the "Yoshino River Compre...
