3) The farmland law does not prohibit the use of inorganic sludge in farmland banking, and punishing the Defendant’s act as a violation of the farmland law on the ground of the “farmland Business Manual” published by the non-Binding agricultural and fishery food added to agricultural and fishery products also violates the legal principle of crime.

4) In light of the beneficial nature in the event that the Defendant embling of inorganic sludge into farmland by mixing it with mathy and 1:1 percentage, etc., the Defendant’s act of raising inorganic sludge into farmland constitutes a legitimate act that improves the form and quality of farmland in good faith.
