The agricultural methods devised by Onri HAYASHI was called Chikuzen noho (Chikuzen farming method) or Fukuoka noho (Fukuoka farming method), which introduced Kansui shinho (soaking seeds in water during winter), Tsuchigakoi-ho (keeping seeds in soil during winter) and Fuyumaki hata nawashiro-ho (sowing seeds in non-irrigated rice nursery in winter) as its core methods, and while improving land productivity with work-intensive agricultural techniques, it increased labor productivity by saving tillage works using cattle equipped with Kakaemottatesuki (a kind of Japanese plow without sole).
林遠里の考案した農法は、筑前農法または福岡農法と呼ばれ、寒水浸法、土囲い法、冬蒔き畑苗代法をその中核としながら、多労を旨とした集約的農業技術により土地生産性を高める一方で、抱持立犂を装備した牛馬耕を導入することによって耕耘作業を省力化し、労働生産性を高めるというものであった。
