A farmer harvests bbareumi rice, a special type that has a shorter growth period, at a farm in Buyeo County, South Chungcheong. The rice was harvested 84 days after it was first planted on May 25. Chungcheongnam-do Agricultural Research & Extension announced it will try to harvest bbareumi rice once more in November, the third crop of the year — a first for Korea.
