Description

In this paper the writer tries to clear the problem of the farmland lease under the policy of rice production adjustment in the Hokuriku District, taking the survey of the present situation of rural community as a case study. Some conclusions are as follows. 1. In the Hokuriku District, tenant farmers are grouped into the three parts by farming pattern: (1) the largescale rice farming managed by full-time farmers, (2) the multiple farming managed by full-time farmers, and (3) the rice farming managed by part-time farmers. And the influences by production adjustment are various on each farming pattern. Under production adjustment, the trend of peasantry differentiation is changing. 2. Production adjustment develops the lease of paddy field in which it is not permited to raise rice crop. In that case, tenants usually hold paddy field rent free, which means that the lease of this kind exists only in the condition that the administration forces-the peasantry to lease. 3. Rice production adjustment brings about a new type of rent similar to rice farming income, in compensation for the exclusion of rice farming. Tenant rights is in conflict with land owner-ship, the latter claims a right to rice farming income. And so the rent of paddy field are becoming complicated.
