三十多年前,曾經有那麼一群以林汝遠先生為首的平凡的農夫們,每天日出而作;日落而息,做著他們認為平凡的工作、過著平凡的生活,在草屯的第一顆薏苡種子在林汝遠家落地生根之時,全數班員因林汝遠的熱情投入與積極創造的革命精神所感召,他們一起成為了『草屯薏仁研究班』第一代班員。
雖然,隨著時代的洪流,他們一個一個離開了人間,但是,他們的平凡,堅持了數十年,而成就了偉大!為台灣雜糧寫下了新頁,讓世界看見了台灣農業!
More than thirty years ago, there was a group of ordinary farmers led by Mr. Lin Ru-yuan, who worked from sunrise to sunset, doing what they considered ordinary jobs and living ordinary lives. When the first job's tears seed took root in Lin Ru-yuan's home in Caotun, all the members of the class were inspired by Lin Ru-yuan's passionate involvement and revolutionary spirit of active creation. Together, they became the first generation of the "Caotun Job's Tears Research Class." Although, with the passage of time, they have all left this world one by one, their ordinariness has persisted for decades, leading to greatness! They have written a new chapter for Taiwan's grains and allowed the world to see Taiwanese agriculture!
