Hello, I am Haratake, a dual farmer.
Today, I would like to talk about part 2 of my business expansion.
Now, I know how to find farmland through the eMAFF Farmland Navigator.
So, which farmland do you actually want to rent?
As mentioned above, I currently live in the middle of a residential area.
Even the nearest farmland is probably a 30-minute drive away.

I believe that the most important thing in farming is to frequently commute to the farmland.
In that case, the most efficient way is to have a farm on the commuting route between home and work.
Furthermore, if it is close to home or work, it will be easier to go there on lunch breaks or days off.
However, there is no farmland near my house.
Then, the story is simple. I will have to look for farmland close to my workplace.
Fortunately, my workplace is located in the mountains surrounded by fields in Higashi-Hiroshima City.
I searched eMAFF Farmland Navi for farmland I want to rent, Higashihiroshima, and found
Nantes! Only farmland within walking distance of my office came up (true story)!
I feel like I’m doomed.
