PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a farmland conversion method for converting farmland from paddy field to upland using a water level adjustment system in consideration of soil preparation. SOLUTION: The farmland conversion method of the present invention is a farmland conversion method for converting farmland from paddy fields to upland fields, and is an underdrain pipe which is arranged under the farmland and has a plurality of through holes formed on the outer periphery thereof. , A water level adjusting step of lowering the underground water level and a water level adjusting step are performed after the water level adjusting step by using a water level adjusting system having a water bar connected to the underdrain pipe and adjusting the underground water level using the water head pressure. The step includes an agglomeration step of cultivating the soil of the paddy field and mixing the agglomerating material containing rotaceous acid into the soil of the paddy field to agglomerate the soil of the paddy field.
