The apple farms used in Aomori are mainly in the Tsugaru region, and it is said that the type that uses light trucks today began to spread in the latter half of the 1980s.

The theory is considered to be influential.

    The origin of the buzz was that Chikage Ishioka, who runs the Chikage apple garden,'s Twitter account "F apple farmer" was shot on June 6th with a photo of "A new car came. I'm happy" and "Bague" Because I posted with. As of 19:00 on June 8, 25,000 retweets and 110,000 likes have been sent.

He asked a friend farmer to arrange a new bague. Mr. Ishioka smiled, saying, "The bague that arrived had the engine started immediately and it felt like a new car, and I was happy to tweet it."

    Among many reactions, many people do not know bague, Ishioka added a supplementary tweet about bague. I explained that I removed the roof of the light truck to move between apple trees whose tree height was suppressed by videos and pruning in the farm, and more than 3000 retweets and 1 even for that tweet Nearly ten thousand likes were sent.

    Mr. Ishioka said, "I'm glad that the number of followers increased from 400 to more than 1000, and the apple farmers were interested in the unknown life. I would like to continue to convey the charm of apples in the future."
