In the case of Sakata city, we investigated Urushisone-community. And in community-relation we found the trust management of paddy-rice in case of six farmer houses. But its scale is under 10 hecters, therfore, it is within the framework of family management. On the other hand, in Kitahirata district involving this community, the rice center operated from 1994. and is the possibility for cooperation at automnwork.
