최근 쌀직불제가 온통 세상을 시끄럽게 만들고 있다. 왜 이런 문제가 발생했을까? 제도상의 허점도 있지만 경자유전의 법칙이 지켜지지 않고 있기 때문이다. 쌀직불제의 경우, 실제 농사를 짓는 사람에게 돌아가야 할 돈이 농사를 짓지 않고 땅을 소유한 지주가 받아간 것이 문제가 되고 있다. 이 제도는 농업, 농촌의 어려움을 덜어주고 WTO체제하에 허용된 농가의 생산비와 소득보전을 위해 만들어진 것이다. 농업직불제도의 특징과 제도를 이해하고 이것이 안고있는 문제가 무엇인지 알아본다.

이 연구는 한국 쌀생산의 효율성을 경영규모별로 파악하고, 영농규모 확대를 통한 쌀생산의 효율성 중대 가 가능하다는 가설을 검정해 보고자 하였다. 이 분석에 필요한 기술적 선도농가들의 생산함수인 프런티어(frontier) 생산함수를 구하기 위해서는 교 란항의 정보를 이용할 수 있는 확률(stochastic) 모형아 바람직하고, 아울러 경영규모별로 규모의 효율성을 파악하기 위해서는 레이 동조(ray-homothetic) 함수가 적절하다. 따라서 여기에서는 농림수산부의 1992년도 쌀생산비 자료에서 임의로 추출한 1,203호의 표본 자료를 이용해 앞에서 언급한 두가지 요소를 동시에 감안 할 수 있는 $\ulcorner$레이 동조 확률 생산함수(ray-homothetic stochastic production function)$\lrcorner$를 최우추정법 (Maximum likelilood estimation method)으로 추정하였으며, 이를 토대로 쌀생산의 경영규모별 비효율성 을 순수 기술적 비효율성과 규모의 비효율성으로 나누어 계측하였다. 게측결과에 의하면 쌀생산의 비효율성은 굉균 35.loyo에 이르고 있다. 이 가운데 순수 기술적 비효율성은 12.0%이고, 규모의 비효율성은 24.l%에 달했다. 기술적 비효율성과 규모의 비효율성 모두 경지규모 확대와 더불어 감소하는 것으로 나타나, 경영규모 확대와 더불어 미곡생산의 효율성이 증대될 수 있다는 가설은 기 각되지 않았다. 그러나 대농의 경우에도 규모의 비효율성이 여전히 높은 것으로 나타나 영농규모 확대를 저 해하는 제도적 장벽이 아직도 높다는 것을 알 수 있다. 아울러 대농과 소농과의 효율성 격차가 현저하지는 않은 것으로 나타나 단순히 경지를 중심으로 한 경영규모 확대만으로는 효율성 제고에 한계가 있음을 보여 주고 있다. 이 연구의 결과는 다음과 같은 정책적 함의를 가지고 있다. 첫째, 한국 미곡생산의 효율성 중대 잠재력이 결코 과소 평가되어서는 안된다. 둘째, 영농규모 확대가 쌀생산의 효율성 증대를 위해 필요한 것은 사실이지 만 단순한 경지규모의 확대에 치중하는 것보다 영농규모 확대를 저해하는 제도적 기술적 장애요인을 제거해 나가는 것이 더욱 중요하다. 마지막으로, 새로운 영농기술의 개발은 물론이고 현행 선진영농기술의 보급도 쌀생산의 효율성 중대에 상당한 역할을 할 수 있다는 사실이 간과되어서는 안된다.

Farm mechanization has been rapidly progressed in rice farming since the 1980's, in Korea. The mechanization has been achieved up to 95-97% in the year of 1995, except irrigation and drying process. However, rice production cost remains much more expensive than the cost of other rice farming countries. Since labor cost shares a major portion of the production costs, it is essential to save labor cost with automation and more sophisticated mechanization. However, it requires great capital investment which causes farm management worse. Therefore, the computer program was developed which can select machines to minimize the management and maintenance cost by analyzing available working days in different areas, machinery to purchase, farming size, total farming size in a village, number of machines and custom fee.

쌀 공급과잉이 사회적 문제가 되면서 논에 타작물 재배를 위한 논의 다각적 활용 시스템 구축이 매우 중요해지고 있다. 정부는 이러한 논의 다각적 활용을 위해 2020년에 우리나라 최초의 농지범용화 시범사업 지구를 선정하였다. 전북 김제시 옥성지구는 농지범용화 시범사업 지구로 선정되어 용·배수로 정비가 실시되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전북 김제시 옥성지구 용배수로 정비의 효과를 살펴보기 위해 시범사업 전후의 주요 영농여건 변화 실태를 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 농업경영체 DB, 흙토람 등을 이용해 옥성지구 일대 수혜 필지와 비수혜 필지를 추출하고, 각 필지별 실제 경작자 명단을 작성 후 1:1 면담 조사를 실시하였다. 옥성지구 농지범용화 시범사업 면적은 총 50.4ha인데, 169개 필지로 구성되었다. 이 중에서 129개 필지의 총 69명의 경작자 명단이 작성되었다. 그리고 본 연구의 조사에 총 30명이 참여했고, 이 가운데 수혜구역과 비수혜구역의 논을 동시에 경작하고 있는 9농가를 대상으로 논의 다각적 활용을 위한 용·배수 정비 전후의 성과를 조사하여 분석하였다. 첫째, 9농가는 모두 논콩을 재배하고 있다. 이들의 평균 논콩 재배면적은 2020년 1.76ha에서 2021년에는 2.22ha로 증가했다. 그리고 논콩 10a 당 생산량을 살펴보면, 2020년 355.8kg/10a에서 2021년에는 567.2kg/10a로 사업 전후 논콩 단수가 211.4kg/10a 증가했다. 평균 우리나라 전국 콩의 생산량이 203kg/10a, 전북 248kg/10a(2021년 기준)인데 반해 농지범용화 시범사업 지구의 논콩 생산성은 전국 평균보다 높은 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서 논의 다각적 활용을 위한 용배수로 정비를 통해 평균 단수는 211.4kg/10a 증가하기 때문에, 용배수로 정비는 논타작물 생산성 향상에 기여하고 있는 것을 알 수 있다. 둘째, 논의 다각적 활용을 위한 용배수로 정비 이전에 평균 침수 시간은 24시간 이내였다. 이러한 침수로 인해 논콩 재배농가들은 대부분 논타작물 재배의 어려움을 겪었다. 하지만 용배수로 정비 후 평균 침수 시간은 3시간 이내로 단축되었다. 이러한 침수시간 단축은 논콩 생산비 절감으로 이어져 용배수로 정비 후 시범사업 수혜 농가들의 논콩 직접생산비는 10a당 210,200원으로 전년 대비 34,250원/10a 감소하였다.

The endeavors enhancing the grain quality of high-yielding japonica rice were steadily continued during 1980s-1990s along with the self-sufficiency of rice production and the increasing demands of high-quality rices. During this time, considerably great progress and success was obtained in development of high-quality japonica cultivars and quality evaluation techniques including the elucidation of interrelationship between the physicochemical properties of rice grain and the physical or palatability components of cooked rice. In 1990s, some high-quality japonica rice cultivars and special rices adaptable for food processing such as large kernel, chalky endosperm, aromatic and colored rices were developed and its objective preference and utility was also examined by a palatability meter, rapid-visco analyzer and texture analyzer, Recently, new special rices such as extremely low-amylose dull or opaque non-glutinous endosperm mutants were developed. Also, a high-lysine rice variety was developed for higher nutritional utility. The water uptake rate and the maximum water absorption ratio showed significantly negative correlations with the K/Mg ratio and alkali digestion value(ADV) of milled rice. The rice materials showing the higher amount of hot water absorption exhibited the larger volume expansion of cooked rice. The harder rices with lower moisture content revealed the higher rate of water uptake at twenty minutes after soaking and the higher ratio of maximum water uptake under the room temperature condition. These water uptake characteristics were not associated with the protein and amylose contents of milled rice and the palatability of cooked rice. The water/rice ratio (in w/w basis) for optimum cooking was averaged to 1.52 in dry milled rices (12% wet basis) with varietal range from 1.45 to 1.61 and the expansion ratio of milled rice after proper boiling was average to 2.63(in v/v basis). The major physicochemical components of rice grain associated with the palatability of cooked rice were examined using japonica rice materials showing narrow varietal variation in grain size and shape, alkali digestibility, gel consistency, amylose and protein contents, but considerable difference in appearance and texture of cooked rice. The glossiness or gross palatability score of cooked rice were closely associated with the peak, hot paste and consistency viscosities of viscosities with year difference. The high-quality rice variety "IIpumbyeo" showed less portion of amylose on the outer layer of milled rice grain and less and slower change in iodine blue value of extracted paste during twenty minutes of boiling. This highly palatable rice also exhibited very fine net structure in outer layer and fine-spongy and well-swollen shape of gelatinized starch granules in inner layer and core of cooked rice kernel compared with the poor palatable rice through image of scanning electronic microscope. Gross sensory score of cooked rice could be estimated by multiple linear regression formula, deduced from relationship between rice quality components mentioned above and eating quality of cooked rice, with high probability of determination. The $\alpha$-amylose-iodine method was adopted for checking the varietal difference in retrogradation of cooked rice. The rice cultivars revealing the relatively slow retrogradation in aged cooked rice were IIpumbyeo, Chucheongyeo, Sasanishiki, Jinbubyeo and Koshihikari. A Tonsil-type rice, Taebaegbyeo, and a japonica cultivar, Seomjinbyeo, showed the relatively fast deterioration of cooked rice. Generally, the better rice cultivars in eating quality of cooked rice showed less retrogradation and much sponginess in cooled cooked rice. Also, the rice varieties exhibiting less retrogradation in cooled cooked rice revealed higher hot viscosity and lower cool viscosity of rice flour in amylogram. The sponginess of cooled cooked rice was closely associated with magnesium content and volume expansion of cooked rice. The hardness-changed ratio of cooked rice by cooling was negatively correlated with solids amount extracted during boiling and volume expansion of cooked rice. The major physicochemical properties of rice grain closely related to the palatability of cooked rice may be directly or indirectly associated with the retrogradation characteristics of cooked rice. The softer gel consistency and lower amylose content in milled rice revealed the higher ratio of popped rice and larger bulk density of popping. The stronger hardness of rice grain showed relatively higher ratio of popping and the more chalky or less translucent rice exhibited the lower ratio of intact popped brown rice. The potassium and magnesium contents of milled rice were negatively associated with gross score of noodle making mixed with wheat flour in half and the better rice for noodle making revealed relatively less amount of solid extraction during boiling. The more volume expansion of batters for making brown rice bread resulted the better loaf formation and more springiness in rice breed. The higher protein rices produced relatively the more moist white rice bread. The springiness of rice bread was also significantly correlated with high amylose content and hard gel consistency. The completely chalky and large grain rices showed better suitability far fermentation and brewing. The glutinous rice were classified into nine different varietal groups based on various physicochemical and structural characteristics of endosperm. There was some close associations among these grain properties and large varietal difference in suitability to various traditional food processing. Our breeding efforts on improvement of rice quality for high palatability and processing utility or value-adding products in the future should focus on not only continuous enhancement of marketing and eating qualities but also the diversification in morphological, physicochemical and nutritional characteristics of rice grain suitable for processing various value-added rice foods.ice foods.

The object of this study was to investigate different levels of extruded rice product(Nutri-RS®) supplementation as an alternative to lactose on growth performance, diarrhea score, fecal E.coli and volatile fatty acid(VFA) in weaning pigs. Treatments were 1) Control(basal), L3(basal+3% extruded rice product), L6(basal+6% extruded rice product). The control diet in Phase I and Phase II contained 16 and 9% of lactose, respectively. For the feeding trial, a total of 81 crossbred pigs, averaging 7.56±1.18 kg body weight, were allotted to three treatments in three replicates with nine pigs per pen by RCBD. The experimental period was total 5 weeks. During the whole experimental period, there were no significant differences in growth performance, diarrhea score, fecal volatile fatty acid concentration among all treatments. Although there were no significant differences, pigs fed diet of L6 tended to show higher BW and ADG, ADFI, and fecal volatile fatty acid concentration compared to other treatments. Treatment L6 showed the lowest fecal E. coli count among all treatments(P<0.05). These results suggested that inclusion of extruded rice product has similar performance a with 6% of lactose in diet for weaning pigs and reduce approximately 9% production cost of weaning pig's diet. Therefore, extruded rice product could be utilized as an alternative feed ingredient to lactose in weaning pig’s diet.

This study was carried out to examine how solid the production foundation of rice in Chung-Nam Province is, and, if not, to probe alternative measures through the size of farms specializing in rice, of which direction would be a pivot of rice industry-oriented policy. The results obtained can be summarized as follows : 1. The amount of rice production in Chung-Nam Province is highest in Korea and the size of paddy field area is the second largest : This implying that the probability that rice production in Chung-Nam Province would be severely influenced by a global trend of market conditions. The number of farms specializing in rice becoming the core group of rice farming account for 7.7 percent of the total number of farm household in Korea. Average field area financial support which had been input to farm household by Government had a noticeable effect on the improvement of the policy of farm-size program. 2. Farm-size program in Chung-Nam Province established from 1980 to 2002 in creased the cultivation size of paddy field to 19,484 hectares, and this program enhanced the buying and selling of farmland and the number of farmland bargain reached 6,431 household and 16,517 hectares, respectively, in 1995-2002. Meanwhile, long-term letting and hiring of farmland appeared so active that the bargain acreage reached 6,970 hectares, and farm involved was 7,059 households, however, the farm-exchange-and-unity program did not satisfy our expectation, because the retirement farm operators reluctantly participated to sell their farms. Another reason that had delayed the bargain of farms rested on the general category of social complication attendant upon the exchange and unity operation for scattered farm. Such difficulties would work negative effects out to carry on the target of farm-size work in general. 3. The following measures were presented to propel the farm-size promotion program : a. Occupation shift project, followed by the social security program for retirement and elderly farm operators, should be promptly established and also a number of types of incentives for promoting the letting and hiring work and farm-exchange-and-unity program would also be set up. b. To establish the effective key system of rice production, all the farm operators should increase the unit area yield of rice and lower the production cost. To do so, a great deal of production teams of rice equipped with managerial techniques and capabilities need to be organized. And, also, there should be appropriate arrays of facilities including information system. This plan is desirable to be in line with a diversity of the structural implement of regional integration based on farm system building. c. To extend the size of farm and to improve farm management, we have to devise the enlargement of individual size of farm for maximized management and the utilization of farm-size grouping method. In conclusion, it can be said that the farm-size project in Chung-Nam Province which has continued since the 1980s was satisfactorily achieved. However, we still have a lot of problems to be solved to break down the barrier for attainment of the desirable farm-size operation work.. Farm-size project has fairly close relation with farm specialization in rice and, thus, the positive support for farm household including the integrated program for both retirement farmers and off-farm operators should be considered to pursue the progressive development of the farm-size program, which is key means to successful achievement of rice farming enforcement in Chung-Nam Province.

The occurrence of sulfonylurea-resistant weeds has recently increased in Korea. A survey was performed to investigate major paddy field weeds and frequently used herbicides in Gangwon province, Korea in order to establish a system to efficiently control herbicide-resistant weeds. The dominant paddy field weeds included Monochoria vaginalis (14%), Sagittaria trifolia (14%), Scirpus juncoides (13%), and Echinochloa spp. (13%), and the most widely used herbicides were oxadiazon 12% EC (27%), butachlor 5% GR (20%), oxadiargyl 1.7% EC (16%), and benzobicyclon+imazosulfuron+pyriminobac-methyl 6.1% SC (14%) in Gangwon province, Korea. Many paddy rice growers considered Scirpus juncoides, S. trifolia, Echinochloa spp. and M. vaginalis as herbicide-resistant weeds. An extensive research deserves to be conducted to monitor occurrence of herbicide-resistant paddy weeds in Gangwon province, Korea.

This experiment was conducted to investigate duck-raising system and the optimum nitrogen fertilization level in duck-raising field. Optimum duck rasing density in rice paddy field was 1, 000~1, 500 heads per ha and ducks could be harvested three times in a year starting from 40 days after mature-seedling machine transplanting. When 1, 000~1, 500 heads per ha of ducks was raised once a year, optimum nitrogen application level was 110kg/ha. In the case of three times in a year, it was 8.8kg/ha. The weed control rate of the duck-raised paddy field was superior(93~96%) to control (89%, treated twice with herbicide).
