CEO Yoo Geun-jun supplies about 90 eco-friendly agricultural products produced in Sejong City to public institutions such as schools as ingredients for school meals. By rigorously managing hygiene and quality, and establishing an integrated local food distribution network among farmers, cooperatives, and consumers, it achieved annual sales of approximately 2.6 billion won.By purchasing all eco-friendly agricultural products, it ensures stable income for contracted farms by allowing them to focus solely on improving quality.

This amendment to the Farmland Act is expected to preserve the original purpose and intent of the current farmland conservation charge system by allowing the application of different standards for imposing the charge both inside and outside agricultural promotion areas.In addition, current law requires that if a person who must pay the farmland preservation charge fails to pay by the deadline, a demand letter specifying a period of 10 days or less shall be issued within 10 days after the deadline

In 2003, they built a racehorse ranch with a total site area exceeding 4.9 million square meters, and began sales operations and owner activities focusing on horse breeding and training and acclimatization. In 2007, while expanding the horse massage facility, he also devoted himself to horse welfare by subjecting horses to taming and training before entering the racetrack, and introduced an advanced horse industry to Korea.

The government, which is promoting public sector reform through the normalization of public institutions as a core task of the three-year economic innovation plan, has decided to pursue functional reallocation, strengthening of core functions, and expanded private sector participation in 87 public institutions across three major sectors: social overhead capital (SOC), agriculture, forestry and fisheries, and culture and arts.The operations of 52 institutions were to be coordinated, and among them, 4 institutions were to be abolished.The Ministry of Economy and Finance stated that this functional adjustment was prepared through consultations with experts, policy forums, and feedback from related ministries, and that it aims to channel the personnel and resources secured through consolidating similar and overlapping functions, abolishing or downsizing areas where direct execution by the public sector is unnecessary, and reducing excessive support organizations to strengthening core functions.

The history of Jeju Seong Isidore, which has already surpassed half a century, began this way.Father Patrick McGrinchie, who founded the Seong Isidore Ranch in Jeju and carried out missionary work and various social projects on the rugged land of Jeju for more than 60 years, passed away on April 23 at 6:27 p.m. On April 9, he was hospitalized at Jeju Halla Hospital for ischemic heart disease, including myocardial infarction and heart failure, and received treatment before returning to his hometown at the age of 90.

The revisions include expanding the scope of the project, establishing grounds for online betting to comply with the full real-name system and purchase limits, and strengthening penalties for misconduct in horse racing.As the Integrated Supervision Commission for the Gambling Industry, which had long maintained strict regulatory policies toward the legal gambling industry, shows signs of changing its stance, the possibility of the horse racing industry resuming online betting is increasing.Recent estimates from the media and academia suggest that the scale of illegal gambling amounts to between 100 trillion and 160 trillion won, and the resulting tax evasion is also reported to reach up to 8 trillion won (estimated by the Korea Institute of Criminology in 2014).

Although it may seem delayed, the revival of online betting appears to be something that must be restored in order to legitimize the underground economy and help the horse racing industry overcome its crisis.A horse racing fan who was blocked from entering the Yongsan branch on the 7th said, “I don’t understand why they are making innocent horse racing fans suffer just to support their own claims.” Are they the only people? I am a citizen too. And the Korea Racing Authority should also make sure there are no inconveniences for horse racing fans if they are to serve them," he vented in frustration. In particular, the protesters on the opposite side drew frow-worthy attention by even blocking the elderly people who use the cultural center from entering.

When he earned his doctorate in agricultural economics in Germany in the 1980s, he had already been involved with the horse industry. In a 2016 interview with Horse Industry Journal, the newly appointed CEO emphasized the establishment of item-specific cooperatives, the introduction of a “quota system,” and the development of research on horse culture.Newly appointed representative Jeong Myeong-chae emphasized, “We must establish cooperatives in each region, elevate them to the level of a national federation,

Since taking office as chairman of the Rural Hope Foundation, in partnership with the KRA, last March, he has had a special connection with the horse industry and is regarded as a key figure who can integrate our agriculture and rural areas with the horse industry. While serving as Vice President of the Korea Rural Economic Institute, he attended a forum on improving the racehorse tax system for the development of agriculture and livestock, and served as an advisor to the Korea Rural Horse Industry Association.

Mentioning the necessity of changing the philosophy of agricultural policy and introducing an innovation system, it said, “We must emphasize the justification for government support by pointing out that farmers’ efforts to strengthen their public-interest functions require a price in return from the public,” adding that this is a time when the roles of farmers’ organizations, civic social groups, and the National Agriculture Forum are expected to be important.After reminding that the public interest function of agriculture had not yet been enshrined in the Constitution,

Representative Jung Myung-chae said, “It has been 10 years since we launched the National Agriculture Forum with the hope that agriculture would become one in which consumers, civil society organizations, and the public can come together with shared interest and support.” He added, “Although the current state of agriculture is in crisis, agriculture is a life industry, so “we need groundbreaking policies and broad public support to revive our life industry, stabilize farm household incomes, and sustain rural communities.

Even a foreign horse with good bloodlines cannot beat a domestic horse with winning experience when it has no racing experience. In addition, foreign horses must compete against horses that have won and advanced from grade 4, but if they are forced to train excessively to match the competition, there is also a risk that the horses will break down quickly.If we purchase many quality horses from abroad, we will naturally receive high-quality horses as well, which will also help the development of Korean horse racing.

Only then can the quality of Korean horse racing improve. Some senior advisors say that prices should be tied again, but that is wrong. Then we go back to the old days again. The reason domestic horses don’t perform well against foreign horses such as Japanese and Singaporean horses is that, due to the price restrictions, fewer quality horses have entered the market. Although the Korea Racing Authority has brought in and is supporting several good stallions, they cannot beat horses bought from abroad.

You must not think that your prize money will be taken away. Through integration, Seoul owners could also list horses in Busan and entrust them to well-managed trainers, potentially winning races held in Busan, and Busan owners could list horses in Seoul and claim victories in races held in Seoul. Isn’t it contradictory that our country’s central horse racing is in Seoul and its results don’t match those of Busan. There are only a few racetracks in the country, so they should be merged.

They also stated that, in addition to the 500 million won already spent since 2013 on scholarships for the Yongsan area and regional development funds, they plan to provide an additional total of 3 billion won in donations, prioritizing the hiring of about 100 race officials—including those responsible for sales, security, order, and beautification—from local residents.With the operation of the Culture Sympathy Center and regional coexistence projects, LetsRun CCC Yongsan is establishing a new model for off-track betting centers nationwide, and whether it will operate normally is expected to become a turning point starting this weekend and over the next two to three weeks.The Korea Racing Authority is expected to downsize. As part of the public sector reform being promoted by the government, the Korea Racing Authority’s organization will be restructured to focus on the horse racing business, and non-core operations will be entrusted to the private sector.

At the time, the Korea Racing Authority felt somewhat uncomfortable about the establishment of the Korea Owners’ Association, so cooperation was not very strong, but thanks to the tireless efforts of the founding president, it was barely made, and because of that, I was able to become its seventh president. The past presidents did a good job, but I believe what I need to do going forward is to unify the Busan and Seoul counterpart associations.Above all, the integration of the Majoo region is the top priority.

Wouldn’t it be better to have the person facing each other run from two places rather than having them buy horses and race only at one racetrack. Horses with somewhat less speed but good endurance are more likely to succeed in Busan than in Seoul, whereas horses with better speed than endurance are more likely to succeed in Seoul than in Busan. If you only have one chance to spend a lot of money to buy a horse, it is such a waste and a loss. Make people who can’t speak in Busan run in Seoul,

The horses that Korean athletes are riding are more expensive and of a higher level than those of Japan. I understand that the price of horses used by Korean athletes participating in various competitions, such as the Asian Games, is more than double that of Japanese athletes’ horses. In Korea, the horses used by the athletes vary in price, and the athletes also go to the United States or Europe to receive individual training. However, most Japanese athletes are active within Japan, and they compete while working at riding clubs with just a horse.

For now, in the comprehensive magic, the same performer is scheduled to change horses, ride, and compete. One player has several horses, and here we expect a gold medal.The group of athletes competing in the apparatus events is only at the second-tier level of the national team participating in the World Equestrian Championships, so I think winning a medal will be difficult. Since Korea and the Middle East will bring good words and do their best, I think it will be difficult for Japan to win a gold medal.

I didn’t specify one particular horse, and it seems that all the horses that participated in today’s training will improve. In the training group that focused mainly on Jomasak, the horse that first showed sluggish movement became more active in the afternoon, and the horse that had originally been active showed stable movement, so everything went in a good direction. The group that had been dominating was unstable when it came to rein it in, but after training, it rode steadily. For a first day, the training went well.

First of all, there is no such educational material. Various horse experts each have different know-how, and they are taming and training them in their own ways. I think there isn’t a separate right answer when it comes to education. Since everyone has different speaking styles, a one-size-fits-all manual is meaningless. For example, while some horses are insensitive to response, there are sensitive ones, and if some horses naturally have their heads positioned higher, there are also some with them positioned lower. I don’t think there’s a right answer,

However, to transition to horseback riding, there is a strong need to change to a slower, more stable rhythm, and improving balance is also important in training.There isn’t much difference, but the key goal of Jomasak training is for the horses to find stability and become calmer. The goal of Jomasak is to ensure that horses are not afraid of people standing in the center, and it is important to build trust between horses and people. Rushing out in a hurry is the worst form, and maintaining a steady pace with a stable rhythm is the best form.

Japan was in a situation similar to Korea’s, but it has continuously passed down the techniques for taming and training retired racehorses, and now possesses world-class skills in this field.It contains the words of Instructor Serimachi, an expert in taming and training retired racehorses.Last year, in Yeongcheon, Gyeongbuk, and at Let’s Run Farm Jangsu, mostly trainees from professions familiar to the “training” staff participated in training at a limited location.For that reason, as the training progressed, the trainees’ comprehension
