The Korean Central News Agency make sure we’re kept up to date with the exploits of the Dear Leader. Lately he’s been busy giving field guidance to a grateful nation:
General Secretary Kim Jong Il gave field guidance to the Kanggye Chicken Farm and the Kanggye Pig Farm.
The first leg of his guidance was the Kanggye Chicken Farm. He went round the room for education in revolutionary relics and the room for the study of President Kim Il Sung’s reminiscences before being informed of the work done since the start of the farm’s operation by its officials. Then, he dropped in at various production processes to acquaint himself in detail with the production and management of the farm. Expressing his great satisfaction over the fact that the workers, technicians and officials of the farm have thoroughly established the scientific raising system and new production processes in the past to turn the farm into one serving for the people’s living, he gave a high appreciation of their feats. Saying that the farm is playing an important role in improving the people’s diet, he set forth the tasks to be carried out by the farm. What is important, above all, in putting the production on a normal basis at high rate is to satisfactorily settle the feed problem, he said, stressing the need to strive for building solid fodder bases so as to supply nutritive feed, including protein fodder, by the farm itself. In order to increase the production of chicken and eggs at the farm, he said, it is necessary to establish the scientific breeding system to gain good breeds suited to the climatic and soil conditions of the country and put the raising on a scientific basis, effectively ensure the equipment and technical management and steadily enhance the technical level and skill of the producers. He also said that the farm should pay deep attention to the scientific research into poultry farming and provide enough disinfection facilities and thoroughly establish the strict anti-epidemic system to prevent loss of even a chicken.
Then he went to the Kanggye Pig Farm newly built in Jagang Province.
After being briefed on the farm in front of its panoramic picture, he went round it to acquaint himself in detail with its construction and management. He highly praised the feats of its builders, noting with great satisfaction that the province has successfully built the modern pig farm with high capacity by its own efforts. This modern stock-breeding centre in the province will be helpful to further increasing the meat production, he said, advancing the tasks to be carried out by the farm. In order to produce more meat at the farm, it is necessary to establish the scientific management system on the basis of modern technology and, at the same time, take drastic measures for fodder supply to satisfactorily solve the feed problem by its own efforts and effect a new turn in raising pig, he said. Being told that the production at stock-breeding centres built in different parts of the province has been put on a normal basis at high rate to pay off profoundly, he underscored the need to give fullest play to the production potentials of the already built chicken, duck, pig and rabbit farms so as to provide the people in the province with more bountiful and civilized life.
Then it was straight off to Janggang County – “a socialist land of bliss”:
General Secretary Kim Jong Il gave on-the-spot guidance to the work in various fields of Janggang County. The first leg of his guidance was the Janggang Mushroom Farm.
Going round the exterior and interior of the farm including a spore cultivation room and a mushroom growing house, he acquainted himself in detail with the construction of the farm and its production. Being informed that the family members of Kim Yong Jong, manager of the farm, have worked heart and soul to increase the mushroom production on the same farm, he highly appreciated their patriotic deed, saying that such people working hard for the prosperity of the country are true patriots. What is most important for cultivating mushroom is to establish a strict system for providing spores, he said, setting forth tasks to be fulfilled by the farm.
The next leg of his guidance was the Janggang Foodstuff Factory.
Going round the technologically updated production processes, he got familiar in detail with equipment and production there. He called upon the officials and other working people in the field of the light industry to bring about a radical turn in its development through the dynamic light industrial revolution, bearing deep in mind the high honor and pride of working in the important domain to improve the standard of the people’s living.
He gave field guidance to the Janggang Rabbit Breeding Stock Farm.
He went round the interior of the modernly built breeding stock farm and highly praised the feats of its employees. He visited the family of Kim Chol Su, head of a work-team, who set an example in raising rabbits. Saying that rabbit is a domestic animal ensuring high productivity, he stressed the need to raise rabbits in a big way to provide the people in the county with conditions for richer diet.
He commanded a bird’s-eye view of Janggang township built as a socialist land of bliss. </blockquote
The need to raise rabbits in a big way? Rings a bell. Ah yes.
Chickens, pigs, mushrooms, foodstuffs (of an unspecified nature), rabbits…is there no subject on which the Dear Leader is not an expert?
