Chako: Hey Log, I heard that hail fell in Okayama! It seems the vegetables are in big trouble.
Log: Yeah, apparently there are big holes in the napa cabbage. Since it was just before shipping, the farmers are really suffering.
Chako: Really? That’s so sad!
Log: There are even houses with holes in the roofs, and the damage seems to be spreading.
Navi: It’s believed to be due to unstable atmospheric conditions. We need to keep an eye on changes in the weather going forward.
Chako: I see, we have to be careful!

Admin’s Note

The damage caused by this hailstorm is a very serious issue for farmers. In particular, if vegetables that are about to be shipped are affected, the financial impact can be significant. We can hear the farmers’ cries for help in the conversation between Chako and Log. While we cannot fight against the forces of nature, I feel that preparations for such weather changes and improvements in agricultural technology are necessary. Support from the entire community is also crucial.
