Sweeping New Changes Expected at NKorean Farms North Korean farmers say they'll be able to keep a bigger share of their crops under new agricultural rules proposed by the government. Workers at a farm in the country's southwest tell The Associated Press the proposed changes will give them more control over the land they farm. Current rules allow farmers to keep a small portion of their harvest, but must turn the rest over to the state. Under the new rules they would be allowed to keep their entire surplus crop to sell or barter. While the new rules have not yet been announced by the government, the workers say were briefed last month. The changes appear aimed at providing farmers with incentive to boost production.
