They have also reported that the corn seeds in ears of corn are few and far between and far from being ripe for picking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The results appear to be due to the climate and farmers are finding that the poor harvest has affected their own individual plots as well. Farmers are claiming that the harvest \u201cis the worst in years,&#8221; according to the source.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The North Korean authorities have ordered farmers to provide harvested crops from their own individual plots to meet government-set quotas. This is reportedly causing numerous complaints from the farmers themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an effort to prevent factors that can negatively impact the fall harvest, the North Korean authorities have warned that anyone caught stealing or selling grains will be severely punished. Despite the government warnings, however, farmers in past years were able to take some of the harvest for themselves. However, this is not the case this year, notes a separate source in North Hamgyong Province.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cGovernment managers seem to be busy [trying to meet harvest quotas],&#8221; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;They are probably very worried because they have to pay back debt for the use of farming materials and also have to take responsibility for planning next year\u2019s harvest.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere was so much snowfall in Paekam County and Taehongdan County on October 1 and people are worried about the impact it will have on the wheat fields.The drought [earlier this year] and the early snow means that the harvest this year won\u2019t be good,&#8221; a source in Ryanggang Province reported.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMilitary vehicles storm onto the farm fields where the people are harvesting the crops and take away the harvest for military bases.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As farmers in North Korea\u2019s Pyongan and Hwanghae provinces in the country\u2019s southern region near completion of this year\u2019s harvest, farmers in North Hamgyong, Ryanggang and other northern mountainous provinces are being mobilized en masse for the fall harvest and [grain] threshing activities.
