Japanese government published the so-called "Reformation of Agricultural Policy" in June 1992. We intend to discuss how farmers in Hokkaido should be reorganized in relation to this new policy. This issue was treated in the last year conference also. Today, we will discuss the same issue from the different viewpoints. The first reporter, Mr. A. Asami intends to clarify the regional farm labor organization theoretically. The second reporter, Mr. Uraya treats the custom application of feed production in dairy farming. Mr. Shiga, the third reporter, intends to analyze the roll of informal organizations of farmers in agricultural production. Four commentators will present other viewpoints on these reports. I, as a chairperson of the conference, wish today's discussion to be creative and constructive.
