　　　This paper examines the topic of entry into farming by discussing the conflict between new farmers and the agricultural corporations they will be joining. The research object of this paper is company A which manages lotus root agricultural production and, Mr. B who found a job at it.
　　　Most of the previous studies on entry into farming have been from the perspective of new farmers, and studies have seldom been conducted from the perspective of agricultural corporations. Thus, this paper attempts to approach the issue of entry into farming from the perspective of agricultural corporations. Specifically, this paper discusses the discrepancy in“views on farming”of agricultural corporations and new farmers, a source of conflict between the two, from the perspective of agricultural corporations.
　　　Accordingly, this paper discusses“views on farming”of the two groups and the context for those views and this paper compares the two views. Agricultural corporations have“views on farming”based on a concept of “farming as an industry”that has developed over years of practice. In contrast, new farmers have“views on farming”based on an idyllic view touted by the mass media.
