Narrow valley with corn and peppers on outskirts of Camp Casey Korea
Areas along the fringe of Camp Casey are constantly being challenged by farmers. If they can successfully grow a crop for two consecutive years, the military will most likely not contest. It was a game to keep the roads too narrow for the military style humvees to travel. Consequently, areas used for military training are constantly shrinking.
Less than one-fourth of the republic’s area is cultivated. Along with the decrease in farm population, the proportion of national income derived from agriculture has decreased to a fraction of what it was in the early 1950s. Improvements in farm productivity were long hampered because fields typically are divided into tiny plots that are cultivated largely by manual labor and animal power. In addition, the decrease and aging of the rural population has caused a serious farm-labor shortage. However, more recently productivity has been improving as greater emphasis has been given to mechanization, specialization, and commercialization.
