原生林を切り開き、不毛と思われた土地に鍬を下ろし、畑作と酪農を試みたのです。
また、半地下式のサイロを作り、バターの製造やチーズの試作など時代を先取りした酪農経営を展開し、今日の大樹農業の基礎を築き上げました。
こちらには依田勉三が住んでいた住居の復元や、井戸跡、サイロ跡、ムロ跡、また、勉三が詠んだ「もみじひら歌碑」などが残されています。
十勝開拓が始まった場所で、歴史に思いをはせてみませんか?
=====================================
Banseisya, led by Benzo Yoda who is known as the "founder of reclamation of Tokachi", settled in Obihiro City in 1881, and three years later, in 1904, established Banseisya Touberi Farm in Taiki Town and began cattle ranching.
They cut through virgin forests, cultivated the land thought to be barren, and tried to cultivate the field and start dairy farming.
They also built semi-underground silos and developed dairy farming operations that were ahead of their time, such as butter production and cheese trial production. It became the foundation of today's agriculture in Taiki.
Here you can see the reconstructed house where Benzo Yoda lived, the ruins of a well, silo, and muro, as well as the "Momijihira Poem Monument," a poem composed by Benzo.
Why don't you take a moment to reflect on the history of the place where Banseisya started reclamation of Tokachi?
