According to the county on July 3, the purpose of this visit was to proactively prevent crop growth damage in response to the abnormal climate conditions, where heavy rainfall and heatwaves repeatedly occur.

In addition, he instructed the Agricultural Policy Division to actively encourage farmers to enroll in crop disaster insurance as a way to ensure stable farm income in preparation for natural disasters caused by abnormal weather conditions.

Governor Jeon Chunsung stated, "Preemptive inspections in preparation for heavy rains and heatwaves during the rainy season are the most effective way to reduce crop damage," adding, "We will continue to proactively identify the difficulties faced by farmers through ongoing field visits and develop practical support measures."
