One day in March 2004, Chairman Kim Jong Il visited Jungsan County, South Phyongan Province where land realignment was going on at the final stage.
An official told the Chairman about the resolve to increase grain production by raising good crops that year and needs. The Chairman said that the seed is the main in farming and officials should think this problem first, not demanding plastic sheet or fertilizer.
Of course, it is not bad to demand plastic sheet or fertilizer, he said, asking an official about the fact that he knows that our people like kaoliang.
Looking at the officials who were perplexed, the Chairman said that in old times our people planted kaoliang on a large scale and a kaoliang cake was very delicious.
He said that he had never heard of eating wheat and barley cakes and, as in the revolutionary opera "The Sea of Blood", our people ate the kaoliang cake in the past, and that the high-yielding varieties of kaoliang would gain popularity among the agricultural workers.
Like this, Kim Jong Il , through a story about kaoliang farming, made the officials realize the truth that they should pay a priority to seed in any crop in order to increase grain yield. Looking up to him, the officials expressed their resolve to direct efforts to the seed revolution and thus bring about high yield without fail. -0-
