Taking advantage of the proximity of rural areas to consumption areas, it seems that they are also working on a "freshly picked green soybeans" business that sells green soybeans harvested early in the morning side by side at retail stores on the same day. Consumers love the taste and aroma of green soybeans, which are very fresh, because they can be delivered to the table while they are fresh. It seems that supermarkets in various parts of the jurisdiction are sold out one after another. JA Akita-Namahage has established a joint fruit sorting facility to reduce the burden on farmers and improve work efficiency. Cultivation is gradually expanding, and it seems that the sales amount has exceeded 100 million yen in October 2018.

Namahage itself in this case is a kind of Toshigami (年神) that comes once a year. There seem to be many legends about this strange custom. The current dogma is the “Wudi theory”. A long time ago, the Han Wudi went to Oga with five demons and gave them freedom only on the 15th day of the new year. The delighted demons went out to the human society for the first time, ruined the fields, kidnapped their daughters, and repeated violence that afflicted the villagers. The villagers, who were troubled by this, offered to call the demons. From the beach to the summit of the main mountain, it is said that if she could build a thousand stone steps overnight, and before the first chicken crowed, she would give her one daughter each year. On the other hand, the demons waited for the sun to set and started building stone steps. Fly from Mt. Kanpu to the front of the gate with a large rock. Stone steps are built while you look at it. This will be completed before the first chicken crows. The villagers in a hurry asked a person who was good at crying chickens to imitate the crying of the alert name at the point where it was one step closer to the thousandth dan. It is famous that the demons jumped up, were surprised, and ran away. The owner of the house apologizes, is in a good mood, and treats him politely. The master simply denies the demon's chanting. Then the demon is in the big tree of the shrine all year round, so if there is such a child or first bride, clap his hand three times, and he replies that he will come soon. “Namahage” leaves, leaving the word that he will come again next year. The etymology of Namahage has a fairly realistic interpretation. The fire pattern formed on the limbs of a lazy person, which is always in the hearth, is called a fire spot (namomi). It is said that it was done.

A sweet melon cultivated in the Wakami district of Oga City, Akita Prefecture. The difference in temperature at latitude 40 degrees north condensed the sweetness. Honeybee mating (single planting in modern agriculture, due to the reduction of bees due to the use of pesticides, naturally occurring pollinator insects lack sufficient pollination for crop production, so it is necessary to introduce a pollinator. In artificial cultivation environments such as cultivation, pollination has been carried out manually or by hormone treatment, but recently it seems that pollinators have been introduced in greenhouses etc. to ease labor. The main pollinators are Apis mellifera and Bombus terrestris. Also, the use of Osmia cornifrons and Megachile rotundata is widespread. It is said that bees were first used for pear cultivation in the United States in the latter half of the 18th century. It has the disadvantages of a pollinator that it does not emerge when the temperature is low or the weather is bad, and that it does not visit flowers such as tomatoes, but it has the advantage that each nest has a large number of individuals and is easy to manage.

Therefore, it seems that some cultivations do not dare to disinfect the soil. In addition, it grows slowly and slowly without overprotection, so it seems to grow into a healthy and disease-resistant melon. Make as little pesticide as possible. In the season when melon flowers bloom, honeybees fly around from yellow flowers to flowers.
