Bayambang: Pioneer in town-wide farm mechanization in the country?

Correct us if we are mistaken, but Bayambang may have pioneered the systematic, town-wide farm mechanization program in the country, featuring the rice planter and other modern farming machinery and equipment to reduce cost and boost production.

By 'systematic,' we mean that the farm mechanization project factors all essential farm inputs in the equation: labor, seeds, fertilizers, pesticides (preferably organic), irrigation, crop insurance and disaster mitigation, loan/credit line, collectivization/co-op membership, marketing, and creation of high-value products, coupled with the right infrastructure (farm-to-market roads, bridges, irrigation).

For some perspective, OFWs from the world over have routinely scoffed: "We are actually 50 years behind Japan and Korea in this."
