Due to a lack of unproductive arable land available to provide for goats in the valleys of the Hamzu district, a total of 21 newly formed goat brigades, consisting mainly of relatively inexperienced young people with little knowledge of agriculture, were resettled in 1997 from 15 lowland APCs to the mountain region of Pyong Pung Dok. This region will be a model for the settlement of other mountain regions in the country. Because of its pioneering characteristics, it is especially important to avoid mistakes in the cultivation of meadows and grazing land by providing expert guidance and consequently a correct 'standard' for Korea DPR.
