Press Releases: DPR Korea, North Korea Today No. 147 Jun 2008
Severe Damage on Corn from Cold Weather in Saebyul County

The unusual low temperatures in North Hamgyong Province, Ryanggang Province, and North Pyongan Province has caused serious cold-weather damage to corn crop. On May 3, approximately 30 Jungbo (approximately 73.5 acres) of corn per farm in Saebyul County of North Hamgyong Province was destroyed due to frost and strong winds. Some farms plowed up the corn fields damaged from the cold weather and have planted beans instead.
