In recent days, sweet potato growers in our city have seized the favorable opportunity of good weather and actively carried out harvest grabbing, and large, sweet sweet potatoes have brought the joy of harvest to growers.
In a sweet potato field in the west of Fubei Village in Baixiang Town, several farmers and friends are busy with their work, and the scene is a busy scene of harvest.
It is understood that Wang Junchao, 23 years old this year, is an authentic farmer, who has been engaged in sweet potato planting and processing with his parents since he was a child, and has accumulated seven or eight years of planting experience. In 2015, he contracted more than 100 acres of land, set up a family farm, and focused on the development of multi-variety cultivation of sweet potatoes, which achieved good economic benefits.
Due to the continuous precipitation some time ago this year, coupled with the rising water of the Qin River, half of the sweet potatoes planted by Wang Junchao's family were submerged, which directly caused the late harvest of sweet potatoes, coupled with the inability to use mechanical operations, the yield also declined. I thought I was going to lose money this year, but suddenly ushered in a favorable market for the rising price of sweet potatoes, which made Wang Junchao's hanging heart finally let go.
Grower Wang Junchao: Some of these sweet potatoes are beaten into sweet potato flour and made into vermicelli, and the other part goes to sell commodities, and the price is two or three cents higher than last year, which is still very good.
