From October through November, 18 sessions were conducted every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Training provided practical hands-on experience in disassembly, inspection, and maintenance of cultivators, tractors, combine harvesters, and rice transplanters.

Namu Ki-soon, Director of Jincheon County Agricultural Technology Center, stated that "enhanced self-maintenance capability for agricultural machinery increases efficiency in farming operations and contributes to reducing farm management costs." The center plans to continue pursuing customized, field-oriented training that reflects farmer demand.
