All farms across the country put in efforts to protect the crops from extreme weather conditions.
Officials and agricultural workers in South Hwanghae Province work hard to protect the farmland and crops.
Cities and counties carefully assess risk factors in reservoirs, tide embankments and banks of rivers and streams and take urgent measures immediately after identifying any dangerous places. Officials go out to the fields to learn about the conditions of drainage facilities and carry out necessary work to ensure their full operation.
Anak County pays attention to keeping dry field crops from being damaged by rainstorm and moisture in case of heavy rain and takes appropriate measures.
Farms in the county are directing great efforts to the prevention of damage to dry field crops including the digging of deep ditches around maize fields to drain water well in heavy rain.
They plough the maize fields and hill crops well to provide favourable conditions for the growth of maize roots and take care of the nutrition of dry field crops to meet the technical requirements so as to make sure that they would put down root firmly and weather the rain and wind well. They also dredge the waterways regularly to increase the volume of passing water per hour.
Officials and agricultural workers in North Hwanghae Province also press on with the work to ensure the safe growth of crops.
They readjust the drainage canals and ditches and reinforce paddy field ridges, while paying attention to making full preparations for operating drainage water pumps at full capacity.
Jongju City of North Phyongan Province is taking all necessary measures to prevent the inundation of farmland.
The city officials actively work to remedy all shortcomings, while reconfirming and reexamining in the field the work done so far for the prevention of natural disasters.
They pay heed to the floodgate control for the timely draining of water in the reservoirs in emergency situations while directing primary attention to the reservoirs and intensifying the real-time monitoring of them to promptly cope with the situation in case it rains as much as the maximum rainfall in a short time.
They also provide enough spare parts needed for the drainage pumping facilities and equipment distributed in different parts of the city.
The city directs a great deal of energies to reinforcing dozens of kilometres of sea dykes to suit its actual situation as a coastal city.
