A spring rain brought the hope of harvest to the land, and the passion for spring tillage spread in busy fields. On the morning of 10 march, along the beautiful country road of the scenery, we arrived at the ma tong village of ganchun, kanzhou city, on the “foundated farm of the younghua family”。
Both feet are covered in mud and both hands are covered in mud, and the owner of the farm who appears before us is a little tired. Behind young-hwa's body, a different “spring plot” was launched: helpers were bending over and laying nests, planting seeds, rubbing mud and pouring water. More than 80 metres of fields are slowly showing a full line of seedlings。
We've also been able to use the boots to try. "assisting by hand, it can't be too wide or too narrow..." according to young-hwa, we grew up learning what he looked like. It's really a technical job, with feet stuck in mud, bows working, and we're gonna have some backslides, and we can't stop standing up and stretching our bones. As young-hwa told us, recently they started work like this at 7:30 a. M. Every day, until 4:30 p. M., with a maximum of 1,500 seedlings. “the spring tillage is a good time, and we must hurry.”
"before master, what kind do you grow here?" we said, "as a matter of fact, spring till the beginning, we grow rice first, but we don't follow the usual pattern here." sing winghua picked up a large bowl of seedlings and passed them on to us, "we grow a `sweet 7401' corn seedling."
Snow sweet 7401 is the leading actor in everlasting china, and this corn can be eaten like fruit, tastes good and nourishes. And it's the best-selling corn species that made naga's wallet go up。
Before finding the right path, yinghua grew one-season rice every year, then the field was empty and economically inefficient. In 2018, upon the recommendation of the agricultural technology promotion centre of the city of wuzhou, naga began to experiment in the field with “swee-swee-swee-7401” corn, through a new model of “water and dry rotation”. Last year, the “sweet 7401” of the younghua species sold up to $10,300 acre, and 105 acres of demonstration maize sold totalling $1. 08 million, which was not available at harvest. Fortunately, after planting corn, water is poured into the ground in the second half of the year, and it is possible to plant another season of late rice。
"you see, when you grow corn, you grow rice, and the rice grows so full." he took out his cell phone and showed us a picture of the rice harvest last year. The return of maize straw increases soil fertility. Also, soil systems can effectively reduce the occurrence of harmful substances and pests in soils by dry and wet alternations between seasons。
“thanks to the staff of the centre. They set up a service twitter group, each with a telephone number, no matter what the problem is, they'll come and guide us at any time。
In recent years, as in younghua, many farmers in the canton have adopted new patterns of cultivation, such as guacao, maize and rice rotations, with a marked increase in economic efficiency。
