문 대통령, 경주서 모내기…"고령화 농촌에 신기술 개발 절실"
President Moon is calling for the development of new technologies to help Korea's farmers... as society gets older and they find themselves short of help in the field.
The President today was visiting farmers in a village in Korea's southeast, where he helped them plant rice.
He also checked out agricultural drones and automated rice-planting machines, the kind of things that Korea will need.
The President was near the historic city of Gyeongju, in Oksan Sesim Village, which is home to some 2-hundred national treasures... and also the site of the Oksan Seowon,... a confucian school dating back centuries... that's been recommended for the UNESCO World Heritage List.
He went there to encourage the local farmers.
They ate noodles together and drank the traditional rice wine makgeolli.
