Recently, from the viewpoint of the fostering and securing the core farmers and modernization of farm managements, the agricultural corporation has been discussed and proposed in Japan.
The object of this paper is to discuss the potential to secure the core farmers by agricultural corporation. To make clear these points, I investigated six agricultural production corporations in Hokuriku district which has rapidly developed the land-extensive agricultural management.
The major result are as follows:
First, personal linkage in agricultural production corporation has been five patterns and developed various operations. Second, by securing younger core farmers, the farm output has been increased. Third, as the countermeasure for these agricultural production corporation, methods of generation change, balance of incentive and contribution are considered.
The outline of measures to promote and sup port new entrants to agriculture are summarized as follows:
First, to improve and strengthen the farmer's attitude for the farming activities with respect to manpower policy of corporation. Second, they must train the professional manager for total business. Third, under the rural system, the management scale should be expanded based on the coorperation with the area. Fourth, working condition must be improved to be attractive for young people.
