We are facing quartet distress of great earthquakes, tsunami, nuclear radiation and bad rumor of farm products. Please pray God for all the people who lost the dearest family and have been facing the quartet distress. They are possessing their souls with the following words.
“There will be great earthquakes and fear-full sights from heaven. But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony. Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will answer. But not a hair of your head shall be lost. By your patience possess your souls.
Look at all the trees. When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near.” LUKE 21.

NUCLEAR RADIATION LEVEL AND AGRICALTURAL HISTORY
We are puzzled by nuclear radiation level and hard to accept farm products from Tohoku district surrounding Fukushima nuclear power station. Many Japanese farmers are angry with Japanese government forcing them not to supply farm products to market. However, the radiation level against farm products is not meditated through long periodical study. No specialists have considered it with concrete data. Agricultural history has continued for several thousand years but study of nuclear technology has started several decades ago. Wisdom of several thousand years shall not be destroyed by undefined theory. Now it is time to consider what agricultural wisdom is.

AGRICALTURE FOR FOOD RESOURCES
When human beings have been almost hungry to die, they discovered agriculture for food resources. If they suffered a crop loss, many people lost. They have improved it to survive and get wisdom of good living between good crop and bad one. Therefore, God let us to live now, because we study a lot from lost lives. Despite marketing situation and nuclear radiation level, we never give up agriculture on the holy earth where forefathers sleep.

AGRICALTURE FOR FUEL RESOUCES
When Japanese did not know synthetic chemical products, they used rape, oil seed as resource of lump oil. Now the seed’s oil is studied to use as fuel for gas turbines and diesel engines. Rice and sunflower is also considered for the purpose. Japanese government and TEPCO (Tokyo Electrical Power Co.) must use them to revive agriculture in Tohoku and compensate farmers there, even if it takes several decades.

NEVER GIVE UP AGAINST THE QUARTET DISTRESS
Some farmers never give up agriculture against the quartet distress. They came from Tohoku to Tokyo and appealed safety of their farm products. A chairman of JA (Japanese Agriculture Coop) said, “We apply severe safety level compared with EU and US radiation level. Checking vegetables, we get record less than one-fifth radiation level against EU and US standard. Please eat them, because it’s safe”.
