In early winter, the sun is shining. On the banks of Yiquan Lake in Cixian County, the 100 acres of red sorghum grow happily, and the large and full sorghum ears are like red "torches", swaying with the wind and waving layers of red waves. Taking advantage of the good weather, the local villagers are busy harvesting, showing a busy scene.
In the hilly land by the banks of Lake Yiquan in Cixian County, a large combine harvester is rumbling, and red sorghum ears are incorporated into the machine. Farmers were overjoyed to see the full-grained sorghum.
Xi Jinsheng, general manager of Cixian Yuanfang Breeding Farmers Cooperative Union:
This is Jijiu No. 2, which is the latest high-quality sorghum variety cultivated in Hebei Province, and its benefits are high yield, hardiness, drought tolerance, barrenness tolerance, alkali resistance, and is the most important raw material for winemaking.
In recent years, Cixian county has carried out in-depth comprehensive treatment of groundwater over-exploitation, vigorously developed drought-resistant crop planting, and through policy support, mechanism innovation, typical driving, relying on farmers' cooperatives, the poor hilly hillsides of farmers are concentrated and red sorghum is planted.
We have done sesame seeds and millet in the front, but the yield is not high, the planting is not good, and the planting efficiency is particularly low. We held a training meeting in the province, found that sorghum is particularly good, we signed a contract with the research institute this year, took varieties, planted more than 900 acres of sorghum, in Cizhou Town, Shicunying, North Jiabi, Baitu, Dudang have, the output is particularly good this year, the high is about 1600 pounds, low like this kind of field, the alkalinity is particularly large, the soil is particularly coarse, the minimum output is also about 600 pounds.
It is understood that the entire growth period of red sorghum from on-demand sowing to maturity is 120 to 130 days, which only takes about 4 months. In order to improve the quality and efficiency of sorghum planting, Cixian Adopts the model of "cooperative + village committee + farmer", implements unified seed and fertilizer supply, unified sowing, unified technical training and guidance, implements nanny-style and standardized management, and strives to maximize product benefits.
Farmer Wang Tianlin:
In the past, there were millet, sesame seeds, and corn, and the harvest in the field was too small, but this year, planting this high-tech sorghum, the harvest is really good!
Now this price is also good, between 1.6 yuan and 2 yuan, which is real and can bring increased income and benefits to farmers. This year, we planted more than 900 acres of land, driving more than 1,000 farmers, and a farmer is at least more than 600 yuan.
