광역친환경 농업단지에서 전라남도 장흥과 순천 그리고 충청북도 옥천의 벼(Oryza sativa L.) 선도 농가를 선정하여 관행구와 추천구를 각각 지정하여 토양과 벼의 시기별 무기성분을 2017년에 비교하였다. 순천농가는 전년도에 헤어리베치를 파종하였던 추천구를 두었고, 옥천은 관행구에 투입된 비료량의 절반을 시용한 추천구를 포함하였다. 전남 장흥농가에서만 축산농가에서 발생한 우분을 비료로 투입하는 경축순환농업을 수행하였다. 모든 시험구의 토양 pH와 EC는 벼 생육에 적합한 수준으로 관찰되었다. 시기별 토양 pH는 순천농가에서 가장 높았으며 토양 EC는 장흥 관행구에서 가장 높았다. 시기별 토양 T-N 함량은 순천 농가에서 3월부터 6월까지 증가하였고. 시기별 토양 유효 P₂O₅는 장흥농가에서 가장 낮았다. 시기별 토양 치환성 K 함량은 모든 시험구에서 감소하였고 옥천농가에서 가장 낮았다. 시기별 토양 NH₄⁺ 함량은 장흥 관행구에서 6월에 타 시험구보다 90 mg/kg 이상 증가하였다. 시기별 벼의 T-N, P와 치환성 K 함량은 장흥 관행구에서 가장 높았다. 벼의 T-N과 P 함량은 6월부터 9월까지 감소하였고 치환성 K 함량은 2.0~2.5% 수준에서 변동되었다. 시기별 엽록소 함량 지수는 순천 관행구에서 가장 낮았다. 장흥농가의 벼 생산량은 6,303 kg/ha로 옥천 추천구보다 약 두 배 높게 나타났다. 시기별 T-N, P와 K 수지는 옥천 관행구에서 가장 높았고 순천 관행구에서 가장 낮았다. 결과적으로 순천 추천구의 양분수지가 비교적 낮았고 수량이 비교적 높아서 가장 친환경적인 지속가능한 농업을 실천한 농가로 평가되었다.

Organic agriculture seeks sustainable agriculture. Organic agriculture is based on circulating agriculture of a family farm unit. However, as of the end of 2016, only 33 out of the total organic farming farms were implementing Crop-Livestock cycling organic farming. The reason seems to be a matter of income after all. The optimal size combination refers to the scale by which family farms can maintain their quality of life while engaging in farming activities. In other words. it is a farm scale that maintains optimal income through stable labor costs. In the meantime, there has been no previous study on the optimal economical combination of Crop-Livestock cycling farming. Choi (2016) analyzed whether the economies of scope (EOS) were realized in the combined production by using the management data of the farmers who practiced Crop-Livestock cycling organic farming for four years. As a result, it has been revealed that the EOS measurement value is 0 or more so the economies of scope are being realized. Therefore, the purpose of this empirical analysis is to identify farm incomes under this circumstance. It is assumed that the optimum production is achieved by balancing the total income curve and the total cost curve in the optimal scale production range. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, the income after the conversion to Crop-Livestock cycling farming was 44,789,280 won, the sum of the seedling-livestock sector, which was 17,873,120 won higher when the non-Crop-Livestock cycling farming was assumed. The same is true for 2014 and 2015. The reason for this is that pig droppings were composted from organic seedlings, and the cost of selling pork was 150,000 won/per pig more expensive even though the manufacturing cost of organic feeds was higher than the purchasing cost. Secondly, this study simulated the result that the economic index varies when the farm size combination is changed by the farm size of 100% standard (S100) as of 2014. S130 is the increase in size from 100% of 2014, whereas S30 is the result of 3ha crop and 66 livestock (pigs). As a result of this simulation, Crop-Livestock cycling farming income decreased more than non-Crop-Livestock cycling farming as the farm size decreased, whereas the income decreased as the farm size increased. When the size was reduced below S50, the income tended to decrease. In this situation, EOS changed in the same direction. The results showed that when the farming size was reorganized and reduced to 50% compared to 2014, the income and income difference was the highest. At the same time, economies of scope (EOS) were the highest at 0.12985. In other words, it was found that the income of farm houses in a family farm unit sector was the best in the combination of 1.5ha crop agriculture and 110 livestock (pigs).
