In the knowledge reserve of many people, October is the season of harvest. However, Liuwang Town, Qingdao's West Coast New Area, subverts people's concept of the harvest in October, and lo and behold, this picture is taken in the Zhuzihou Ecological Agricultural Park in Long'an Village, Liuwang Town, when the peasant sisters harvest small red sorghum, on November 17, 2021, Qingdao has entered the early winter season...

Made an appointment with Chen Xubin, general manager of Qingdao Zhuzihou Ecological Agriculture Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd., to share the joy of their harvest when the small red sorghum and dry rice planted in their Zhuzihou Ecological Agricultural Park were harvested this year.
When I stepped on the fragrance of winter chrysanthemums and walked into the ecological agricultural garden in the east of Long'an Village, I smelled the strong aroma of dry rice and small red sorghum in the air, and what caught my eyes was the rolling of rice waves, and the heavy rice ears nodded to me warmly; it was the small red sorghum swaying with the wind, and the plump grass ears warmly signaled to me.
Spring is the season of cultivation, summer is the season of nurturing, winter is the season of collection, golden autumn, together with the early winter season, is the season of harvest - when the autumn wind and the early winter wind blow through the fields, blowing yellow grains, the golden posture of the crops, showing people the beauty and charm of nature.
In the early winter, the Zhuzihou Ecological Agricultural Park has beautiful scenery. In the golden rice fields, the strings of plump and fat rice ears carry the sustenance and dreams of the villagers for a year.
In the fiery red sorghum field, the sorghum stalks that are shoulder to shoulder emit a rattling sound in the wind, like a shouting corps.
The sorghum was red, the dry rice was yellow, and the earth was boiling. The villagers took the sickle and drove the harvester back and forth in the rice field and the sorghum field, and the rice grains and sorghum grains harvested in the warehouse were full of the hard sweat and the joy of the harvest of the fathers and fellow villagers for the revitalization of the countryside...

This heavy dry rice ear produces rice with a nice name: "Zhuzi Rice". The well-known "Zhuzi Dry Rice" in Qingdao West Coast New Area is the result of the in-depth cooperation between Qingdao Zhuzihou Ecological Agriculture Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd. and Qingdao Seawater Rice Research and Development Center for upland rice research.
I raised my drone to look down on the golden rice paddies, only to see that the fields were crisscrossed and the scenery was very beautiful. In the middle of it, the smell of rice wafts through your nose. The breeze blows and the golden yellow rice ears sway in layers, which is simply a golden feast in early winter.
In this fertile field, Zhu Zihou Ecological Agricultural Park has launched a good "abundance" scene of agricultural efficiency and increased income of villagers.
After Qingdao Zhuzihou Ecological Agriculture Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd. settled in Long'an Village, Liuwang Town in 2019 to develop efficient agriculture, in order to let the rural revitalization strategy blossom and take root in the field of hope, he led the villagers to explore the direction of grain planting, optimize the structure of grain planting, specially opened up more than ten acres of land, carried out dry rice planting experiments, and painted a new planting picture on the land.
Chen Xubin, general manager of Qingdao Zhuzihou Ecological Agriculture Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd., visited the Qingdao Seawater Rice Research and Development Center many times, and made a detailed appeal to Li Jiming, deputy director of the Qingdao Seawater Rice Research and Development Center, which attracted the great attention of the Qingdao Seawater Rice Research and Development Center. Therefore, the Qingdao Seawater Rice Research and Development Center sent a dry rice project team to Long'an Village at the "first time" to conduct field investigation and investigation, laying the foundation for the dry rice planting experiment.
In line with the common goal of helping rural revitalization, the two sides decided to carry out in-depth cooperation to establish the Zhuzi Dry Rice Experimental Field in Long'an Village, Liuwang Town, and specially carry out the planting experiment of new varieties of upland rice researched and cultivated by the Qingdao Seawater Rice Research and Development Center.
In 2021, among the more than 20 upland rice lines planted in the Zhuzi dry rice test field, 6 lodging-resistant high-yield dry rice lines were selected for planting, and a few days ago, according to the on-site estimation of scientific researchers, the yield of 3 upland rice lines could reach 1000-1200 jin per mu.
The stage success of the upland rice planting experiment achieved by Qingdao Seawater Rice Research and Development Center and Qingdao Zhuzihou Ecological Agriculture Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd. can break the traditional mode of continuous planting of wheat and corn, and realize the "two crops and two harvests" dual staple grain model of wheat and dry rice, so that local fathers and villagers have a new choice space in crop planting after the summer wheat harvest, realize the "wheat rice" two harvests, and help rural revitalization to advance in depth.

When the little red sorghum is ripe, it is a very pleasant thing to visit the small red sorghum planting demonstration base in Zhuzihou Ecological Agricultural Park.
Lo and behold, the little red sorghum showed a red smile, and its ears were full and plump. The peasant sisters joyfully harvested the small red sorghum with their sickles, and the joy of the harvest spread everywhere in the sorghum field, and the happy laughter of the sisters was endless.
With the change of seasons, the small red sorghum here is bathed in sunshine and rain, and their ears turn from green to yellow and slowly turn red, forming a unique and beautiful landscape.
In the small red sorghum field, I sucked in the fresh air and experienced the joy of harvesting, which was really refreshing.
Winter winds rise and sorghum ripens. Under the care of the seasons and the villagers, the small red sorghum that has been bred for many seasons has a good harvest, and the red sorghum everywhere makes people can't help but hum the song of the harvest.
As I stood in the field and looked out, the stout and neat little red sorghum was lined up in the field, and the heavy sorghum ears were like the enthusiasm of the earth, painted as a red ocean. The harvester shuttles back and forth in the field, and the harvest is completed quickly in a large sorghum field, and the machine cutting efficiency is high!
It is understood that the small red sorghum once faded out of people's sight. In recent years, with the popularization of people's pursuit of healthy eating concepts and the increase in demand for pure grain wine brewed by some distilleries, the price of small red sorghum has risen, and its Qianli figure has appeared in the Zhuzi Pastoral Complex. In the past two years, Chen Xubin and his team have demonstrated the planting of small red sorghum for many acres, and the ripe red sorghum has become an agricultural characteristic landscape, which not only attracts tourists, but also promotes the development and increase of income.
Chen Xubin happily told me that the small red sorghum was sown after the wheat harvest in early June and could be harvested in late October. The sorghum harvest is over, just in time to plant wheat, this "non-stop stubble" wheat and sorghum rotation, greatly improving the utilization rate of arable land, the prospect of rural revitalization because of the fragrance of red sorghum, more wonderful...
