Spring ploughing, summer harvest, autumn harvest and winter leisure have always been the eternal and unchangeable production law of farmers. But now, the people of Jingdong County have broken history with hard work, revitalized idle land in rural areas, focused on special planting and policy support, and relied on resources to vigorously develop winter agricultural development, so that land and farmers do not have "agricultural leisure".
In the fields of Qingliang Village, Wenjing Town, Jingdong County, I can only see large and small pea fields, verdant pea vines swaying in the breeze, white flowers dotted among them, farmers shuttle through them, and the scene of green vines and grass pulling is a busy scene.
Grower Gao Wei told reporters that in the past, every winter the fields here would be deserted, and with the leap from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture, more and more growers began to use the winter idle fields to grow crystal peas, broad beans, potatoes, winter peppers and so on to increase income. "I rented this land to grow corn at that time, and after the corn planting was over, the land was also panicked, so I planted crystal peas, and the rest of the land was still planted with corn, spicy seeds, and looking at the current growth trend, it should be okay, and the income should be there."
The cultivation of crystal peas is the highlight of winter farming development in Jingdong County. In recent years, Jingdong County, combined with the natural conditions, location advantages and exploitable resources of our county, has formed a winter agricultural production layout in the dam area with winter potatoes, early winter vegetables, winter peppers after smoke, and winter soybeans, semi-mountainous areas and river valleys dominated by winter early silkworm peas and high-quality double-low rapeseed, and wheat, buckwheat, and feed as the main winter agricultural production layout in mountainous areas, developing marketable varieties to achieve agricultural production, farmers' income, and rural stability.
Li Xiang is a native of Longjie Township, hard-working and capable, in order to have an income in winter, she and her husband came to Qingliang Village in Wenjing Town to rent 50 acres of land and grow beautiful peppers. "Beauty pepper planted 48 acres, now start picking, the price can still buy about 4 yuan a kilogram, or can be, there is a benefit."
Over the years, Jingdong County has persistently taken winter agricultural development as the engine for industrial restructuring and peasants' income increase, comprehensively implemented high-quality and high-yield creation activities, focused on popularizing new modern agricultural technologies, actively done a good job in the introduction, testing, demonstration, and popularization of new varieties and new technologies, and through taking the road of intensive and large-scale development, enlarged advantageous industries, strengthened characteristic industries, and opened up a new way for peasants to become rich.
