The purpose of this paper is to clear the factors determing the construction of truck farming regions related with the physical environments.
The auther has done the field-work in the town of Ozima, Gunma pref., located in the middle basin of the Tone river, which is the typical region of the truck-farming constructed during these decades.
Before 1965, sericulture and cultivation of wheat and oats were main crops in this town. And average acreage of land areas held by these 1129 farm-steads are much smaller than that of the surrounding.
However, high productivity of soils, which are covering the natural levees around the basin, make smaller-sized agriculture possible, specialized with cultivation of YAMATOIMO or a kind of cultivated yam with high quality.
Most products are now marketing in Tokyo metropolitan area.
