In a Reclaimed Field on the West Coast 

  One April day in 1993 President Kim Il Sung visited a farm concerned about how rice translating was going on in the reclaimed fields on the west coast.
There he looked at the beds of rice seedlings which had been grown sturdily ready to be transplanted in a few days and then headed for a patch of field which had just been harrowed. He asked a farm official to plant some seedlings for a trial.
With a smooth buzz of a transplanting machine the land turned green. Seeing the work for a good while, the President, wearing a sunny smile, told the farm official to ask the machine operator to make another round of the patch while transplanting rice.
Scrutinizing the transplanting operation of the machine, the President asked the official when the field was harrowed. Hearing the reply, the leader stated that harrowing had to be definitely put ahead of all other things if rice seedlings were to be transplanted in a qualitative way. Then he gave detailed explanation about the principle and methods of harrowing and about the importance of the need to give priority to the harrowing in the transplanting season.
After a while, the President looked carefully again at the seedlings which had just been transplanted, and then explained how to irrigate the field after harrowing it and how to transplant rice.
As he was so concerned about the country’s agriculture, he was well informed of farming jobs better than anybody else.
