On April 23rd in 2021, Taishoboseki employees did sowing.

About 40 members of Taishoboseki industries participated in sowing.

By the day of sowing, a few members of the sales department broadcasted both chicken-manure and lime. The kind gentleman who owns this field made furrows already since then. This year, too, we will grow cotton using organic farming methods without using chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
