Time for Shuichi Tokumoto 徳本修一｜I AM A FARMER to take over

Hello everyone! I am a grain farmer in Japan🇯🇵,but this week and next week I am visiting a farmer friend in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil🇧🇷.Even though our countries are far apart, there are always similarities and learnings in farming management.

Asing farmers and a shrinking domestic market, the paddy rice industry in Japan is seeing an increasing number of farmers going out of business. So new technologies are being introduced to increase productivity. Sowing specially coated seeds by drone is one such example.

Brazilian no-till drill.🇧🇷 Japanese no-till drill.🇯🇵 Totally different sizes. Like a giant and a baby. 😂

A Brazilian farmer and a Japanese farmer had a guitar session🎸🇧🇷🇯🇵. Let's have fun off the farm once in a while!😎

Japanese farms are seriously affected by wild boars because of their near to mountains. 🐗 Rarely, however, they do a good job. They walk around the perimeter of the field and keep the weeds under control.😅

It's been a week since I returned to Japan from Brazil, and although I've recovered from jet lag, I can't forget the off-roading at Mato Grosso.
