As a fan who enjoys horseback riding, I am glad to see the opening of the over-the-counter sales office in Yongsan close to my home," said Kim, head of the public relations department at the nursing hospital. "I understand the stance of those who oppose horse racing because people have a bad perception of it. However, I don't think it is the logic of the free-for-all. We should take a step back from the standpoint to understand and sincerely engage in dialogue, along with recognizing more serious and realistic issues about the over-the-counter sales office in Yongsan. Also, although it is a vacation, we hope students will not be mobilized to the assembly hall. The behavior of activists and teachers at Sungsim Girls' Middle and High School trying to publicize their claims by taking students hostage is so unsightly.

People think 'riding is expensive'. There are a lot of people who want to ride horses around, but they can't easily access it because they think it costs a lot of money. Also, because of the prejudice that "horses are dirty," most of the horse riding grounds are outside the country, so transportation is inconvenient. I hope that people's perception of horses will change and become popular as soon as possible because I can't do anything about these parts. Lee Yu-ri passed four certificates unconditionally even on a day when she didn't want to ride a horse with the mindset of "Let's work hard for a year and pass." She says she wants to become an instructor who doubles as a rehabilitation horse and horseback riding after studying more in the United States.

The horse racing society, which is struggling to preserve horse racing sales due to various unfavorable factors this year, is insisting on the justification of Chuseok horse racing, and the management union knows the necessity of implementing additional horse racing, but is playing a difficult tug-of-war as it demands an increased labor base. It is true that managers who have become commonplace to go to work at dawn have poor working conditions due to the long-term implementation of Noeul horse racing and preservation racing. On the other hand, it is also true that everyone knows that Chuseok horse racing will be implemented by announcing the implementation plan in advance at the beginning of the year.

First of all, I'm going to get a job at a general horse racing center and improve my skills. In Korea, rehabilitation horses are not known much and there is too little information. After studying more in the United States, I want to become an instructor who doubles as a rehabilitation horse riding and horseback riding. I'm looking for a job because I'm currently working. In reality, there are limited jobs related to horseback riding in Korea. Horse racing includes assistant teachers, jockeys, and horse managers, and horseback riding is divided into horse riding instructors, rehabilitation horse operators, and horse managers.

After going home and going to the hospital for three weeks, I went to school the day before I took the test and practiced only once with my colleagues. And I passed. I think I was lucky. When I took the practical test, I could take the test in Jama, so I took the horse from school and rode it. It would have been difficult if I had been assigned a new horse, but it was a familiar and comfortable horse that I used to ride every day at school, so I gained confidence and reduced the burden of the test. For this reason, the practical test score turned out well.You can't choose one of the most memorable words. I like this and that. I have a lot of good memories, learning this and that from this horse.

Students come to take rehabilitation horse riding classes every Wednesday, and at the beginning of the semester, they applied for volunteers and gained a lot of experience by volunteering next to them. In the second semester of the first year, I prepared a demonstration test for the second rehabilitation horse riding class. At that time, Professor Park Geum-ran and Instructor Song Yeon-hee kindly explained and demonstrated next to me, helping me to do the class myself. As such, the intimacy with the students receiving rehabilitation horse was increased, and the burden of the class decreased, and the worries and tensions about the test decreased.

There is a training course class at the school. Professor Seungjoo Kwon, who is working as an assistant teacher at Let's Run Park Pukyong, taught me. I learned practical skills in the first grade, so I didn't feel pressured about the difference between the two certificates. I learned general horse riding and race magic in advance at school and prepared for the certificate more easily. The second-class life sports instructor practiced obstacles with Professor Chu Ho-geun because he had an obstacle in his practical subject, so he stayed early or late in the morning before taking the test. In the case of training, I went out early in the morning because it was difficult to do racing magic,

We will systematize the process of evaluating the results of the processing of on-site proposals and the degree of policy reflection, and discover and share best practices. In order for on-site farming to succeed, the voices of the field need to be more organized. We will provide support, including related legislation, to ensure the participation and communication of farmers and to revitalize the agricultural chambers with self-help capabilities.

The emergency committee is reportedly discussing countermeasures against the Seoul Metropolitan Council's move.Meanwhile, as the Seoul Metropolitan Council passed a resolution calling for the suspension of business and the relocation of the Yongsan over-the-counter sales office, there are growing concerns about a full-fledged clash between the horse society and the Seoul Metropolitan Government over the Yongsan over-the-counter sales office. There are also complaints about the political behavior that has highlighted the Yongsan over-the-counter issue as a political issue in the wake of a series of elections. While the opposition committee, which has been consistent with opposition only for opposition, continues to rally in front of the Yongsan over-the-counter sales office, Cho Hee-yeon, superintendent of the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, is disappointing by visiting the site and repeating the opposition's claims.

While expanding the KRW 100 taxi to all 82 郡 areas, we will create a transportation model suitable for regional characteristics by diversifying transportation such as taxis and buses and business operation methods. We will introduce a care farm that helps vulnerable groups, such as the disabled, adapt to society through agricultural activities and provides vocational training opportunities so that social agriculture can be activated. We will change the budget and system based on the performance evaluation so that the Moon Jae-in administration's agricultural government goals and national tasks can be faithfully implemented.

He also added, "The National Assembly should put safety measures in place to revise the School Health Act to measure students' commuting distance at a visible distance rather than a simple straight distance from harmful facilities." Meanwhile, the Seoul Metropolitan Council also passed a resolution calling for the enactment of a special law on the Ferry Sewol to find out the truth of the Ferry Sewol disaster, a resolution to form a special committee on parliamentary reform of the Seoul Metropolitan Council to restore the image and trust of the city council, which has fallen due to a series of scandals by current and former lawmakers, and a proposal to urge local firefighters to switch to national positions. The Seoul Metropolitan Council's passage of a resolution on the over-the-counter sale of Yongsan is not expected to have any legal effect and will not have much impact on the current situation.

Consumers such as agriculture, local food stores, and school meals will be closely linked to contribute to enhancing consumer confidence and revitalizing the local economy.

Crop accident insurance provides new farmers' safety insurance products that ease the rate gap between cities and counties by setting an upper limit on premium rates, and provide enhanced coverage to the level of industrial accident insurance. Through water system connection projects and drainage improvements, we will reduce frequent drought and inundation damage, and we will also implement seismic reinforcement for old repair facilities in preparation for earthquakes. The ongoing negotiations for amendments to the Korea-US FTA will actively respond to the government's position that additional opening to the agricultural sector is impossible.

Like the Central Council on Main Countries, we will strengthen the governance system between the government and the producers' organizations for each item to adjust the supply and demand from the pre-production stage, such as adjusting the cultivation area. We will prepare a manual for controlling supply and demand throughout the entire production process from sowing to shipping, and increase the reliability of agricultural observation by utilizing advanced devices such as big data and drones. We will prepare a complete reorganization of the direct payment system in the direction of increasing the unit price of field agriculture, conditional disadvantage, and eco-friendly direct payments, and enhancing the public function of agriculture and rural communities.

Now, it is an important time for our agriculture to move forward by overcoming this reality and establishing the foundation of agricultural policy. The agricultural policy of the Moon Jae In government is people-centered agricultural policy that values the income and quality of life of farmers and the health and safety of the people. It is an innovative agricultural policy that pursues job creation and growth through creative destruction of existing practices. It is a sustainable agricultural policy that strengthens the sustainability of the agri-food industry and the environment, and the public interest values of agriculture and rural areas. It is a field-oriented reform agricultural policy that listens to the voices of the field from the perspective of farmers and the people.

The upper limit of the congratulatory money will be lowered to 50,000 won, but it will be allowed up to 100,000 won when including wreaths.The income gap between urban and rural areas is still large, and agricultural income remains stagnant at the level of 10 million won. It is difficult to find young people in rural areas, with only 1.1% of owners under the age of 40. Farmers' concerns remain over natural disasters and insecurity in supply and demand. The people are demanding fundamental improvements in agricultural safety, livestock diseases and the livestock environment. As the FTA's tariff reduction effect has been in full swing, competition with imported agricultural and livestock products in the domestic market is also intensifying.

By fundamentally reviewing the problems raised at the time of pesticide detection eggs, the relevant ministries jointly prepared the Comprehensive Food Safety Improvement Measures. When setting standards and items for livestock inspection applied at the site, prior consultation between relevant ministries is mandatory, and when hazardous substances are detected, joint inspections are conducted by relevant ministries. At the end of last year, we were able to inform you of the revision of the Enforcement Decree of the Solicitation Prohibition Act. The upper limit of gift costs for agricultural and fishery products and processed agricultural products has been raised from 50,000 won to 100,000 won.

When Superintendent Cho Hee-yeon arrived near the over-the-counter sales office in Yongsan, members of the nearby merchant association asked Superintendent Cho to "We are going to starve to death," "I have a son and daughter, but it has no big impact," and "Please listen to us," and a fierce physical fight broke out for an instant as the opposing rally interfered with it. Opposition protesters criticized the horse society, saying, "It is a person hired by the horse society," and "They even bother to interfere while doing it." Residents and horse racing fans who visited the Yongsan over-the-counter sales office and watched Superintendent Cho Hee-yeon's visit expressed disappointment, saying, "It is a loss of equity for a person who is the biggest director of education administration to hear only the opposition's position."

The issue of refunding preferential rice payments made in 2016 was resolved smoothly by continuous dialogue with farmers' organizations. The issue of over-the-counter sales offices in Yongsan and Daejeon, which had been in sharp conflict with the local community for a long time, was also decided to be relocated through social compromise. There was also a crisis. Emergency quarantine measures were taken to resolve the situation early when red fire ants were discovered. When an insecticide egg incident occurred, all farms were banned from being shipped immediately after detection, and all unsuitable eggs were discarded by conducting a full inspection. Along with this, we promoted system improvement to prevent recurrence.

In the ruling, the Seoul Western District Court ruled that the court "cited" all matters of the injunction on prohibition, including business obstruction, submitted by the Korean Racing Authority. The court decided to pay 500,000 won each for the nine officials of the opposition committee if they interfere with the access and passage of the executives and customers of the Korean Racing Authority who want to enter the building as well as the Yongsan Gijang Offshore Sales Office. In addition, they were required to pay the same amount when they interfered with the business by ordering others. The court pointed out in a ruling, "Although they claim that the opening of the off-the-shelf sales office itself is illegal, they claim that the opening of the off-the-shelf sales office will infringe on their environmental rights, housing rights, and learning rights, and fail to provide any explanation for the claim of legal defects."

First of all, we considered stabilizing rice prices as the first step in restoring trust in the agricultural government, and through close communication with farmers' organizations and relevant ministries, we decided on measures to isolate 720,000 tons of rice from the market, the largest volume in history. Thanks to this, rice prices, which remained at the level 20 years ago, exceeded 150,000 won right after the announcement of the measures, and are continuously on the rise so far. The purchase price of public reserve rice and market quarantine grains from 2017 has also increased by 19% year-on-year, and the purchase price of 52,570 won per 40 kg bag of rice has been completed by the end of last year.
