Local committee of agriculture

 In Japan each city has a committee of agriculture. Today  I  joined it to express my wish to borrow a land for widening  my soybeans　cultivation next year.  This is because  the adjoining farmers of my now farming land are expressing their discomfort for my way of  farming. I use no agro-chemicals. Many grasses, many insects, they say. But I don't think it is. The criterion gap!
 The people coming to the committee are all but me  advised to let their grass rampanted to be killed.  I only came to express positive attitude to widen my farming area instead of now using land.

 There will be  many difficulties in Japanese agriculture in the coming free trade trend.
 But there certainly is a possibility of  sustainability of quality agriculture .Not cheap and mass production method.I am not a  full-time farmer. I am a tofu-maker. I can only use 3-5 hours a day for my soybeans farm if it does not rain.
 Soybeans farming back up me  not only phisically  but mentally.

 Government's export-oriented policy of  manufacturing industries  has long precluded sustainability of Japanese agriculture. Our agriculture is overall  very small-scale type.
