Human beings can improve their immunity and develop a mind and body that does not get sick. The same can be said for plants and humans.<\/p>\n<p>For that reason, we improve the immunity of rice plants by mixing herbal medicines into the soil. And the scent of herbal medicine is also effective in repelling insects.<\/p>\n<p>We grow crops together with the life that live on the earth, so we do not use any pesticides or chemical fertilizers.<br \/>\nHowever, since the farming method requires a lot of effort, the yield is limited.<\/p>\n<p>The variety is the popular &#8220;Koshihikari&#8221;, which is said to be the king of rice.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row padding_bottom=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1695722047791{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;border-left-color: #bf842b !important;border-left-style: solid !important;}&#8221; font_size=&#8221;18&#8243; line_height=&#8221;22&#8243;]Our thoughts[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Sometimes we wonder how much easier it would be to use pesticides.
