The area of spring sown grain in the country accounts for more than half of the whole year, which plays an important role in grain production. Preparing sufficient materials for spring ploughing and ensuring that seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and other agricultural materials arrive in the villages and shops in a timely manner is of great importance to fighting the first battle of agricultural production in the beginning of the year.
Just after the spring, it is the key season for spring ploughing and preparation. Under the premise of doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control, supply and marketing cooperatives in various localities have stepped up transportation reserves and prepared all kinds of agricultural products to prepare for spring ploughing and spring sowing. Farmers are busy purchasing seeds and fertilizers, agricultural materials sales points have entered the peak season of purchase and sales, and spring ploughing preparations in various places are being promoted in a solid and orderly manner.

Chongqing Yubei——
Prepare the seeds for spring sowing
People's Daily reporter Wang Xinyue
"Corn seeds are 15 yuan, 25 yuan, 40 yuan, which one do you want?" At the agricultural materials sales point in Tongjing Town, Yubei District, Chongqing, the owner Li Lianlian picked up the goods on the shelves behind him and handed them to the farmers who came to buy. "There is also this brand of rice seeds, 65 yuan 1 kilogram, disease resistance and heat resistance, and the rice grown is also very delicious."
In Li Lianhe's shop, a variety of vegetables, corn, and rice seeds are neatly arranged. The temperature has risen, farmers have begun to prepare for spring ploughing production, and the number of farmers who come to buy is endless.
"I'll come with 3 packs of corn and 1 pack of rice, and I'll ask for the varieties you recommend." Villager Wang Yongguang is a native of Ping'an Village, Tongjing Town, usually working in the urban area, during the spring ploughing season, he deliberately returned to his hometown to do farm work, "I still want to point some agricultural film, I am afraid that the temperature is not enough after the spring, can you send me directly to the ground?" ”
"Call me when the time comes and drive you over." Lee's joint commitment had to be crisp.
Duan Fengwen, a villager in Yuhua Village in Tongjing Town, stood in front of Li Lianhe's stall and hesitated, asking, "Is this rice you recommend sticky?" ”
"If you want glutinous, then you are more suitable for this one, the price is more expensive." Li Lianhe took another seed from the shelf behind him and handed it to the farmer, "This one is adaptable, whether it is planted in a deep paddy field or a dry dam field, it is good, and the quality is good and waxy." ”
"Then I buy 2 packs of seeds, another 8 packs of fertilizer and 4 barrels of herbicide, and I will also deliver them to my door!" Duan Fengwen said. On the other hand, Li Lianlian copied the sales information on the seed sales registration form and said, "Notify me when the time comes, and promise to send you home." ”
This year, considering the needs of epidemic prevention and control, Li Lianhe not only sold agricultural products through online forms such as telephone and WeChat, but also promised to send agricultural materials to the door to facilitate farmers to prepare for farming.
Taking advantage of the empty space, Li Lian returned to the house to stock up on the goods, corn seed stock of 260 kilograms, rice seed inventory of 300 kilograms, but also felt unsafe. Li Lianlian dialed the phone of Huang Shuangqi, head of the Qiancun Plant Protection Co-operative Cooperative in Yubei District, "I still want to buy goods from you, are you there enough?" ”
"Corn seeds have entered 25 tons, rice seeds have entered 9 tons, vegetable seeds have entered 800 kilograms, and the purchase volume will be increased according to demand." Huang Shuangqi's cooperative is also equipped with special vehicles to transport agricultural materials for sales points and farmers.
Pan Jianhua, director of the Agricultural Technology Extension Station in Yubei District, told reporters that in order to ensure the needs of farmers, as of now, Yubei District has organized the transfer of 30,000 kilograms of rice seeds and 65,000 kilograms of corn seeds, which can meet the needs of local spring ploughing and spring sowing.
Jiangxi Huichang——
The distribution network of agricultural materials is smooth
People's Daily reporter Yang Yanfei
With the roar of the engine, the car loaded with fertilizer drove out of the yard. Wen Fanglin, the operator of the supply and marketing service point in Yanhu Village, Huichang County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, as usual, set off as soon as he received the call.
"Spring hair is good, fruit is good!" Fruit farmer Hu Zhaodi held up a hoe, dug up the soil under the navel orange tree, and fertilized the fruit tree with a shovel, "As soon as I called, Xiao Wen sent fertilizer up." Wen Fanglin, 32 years old this year, graduated from Ganzhou Agricultural School, in addition to agricultural material distribution, he will also give farmers some basic technical guidance.
During the conversation, an orange van drove past in front of him, and the body was printed with the four big characters of "Supply and Marketing Collection". "This is the shuttle bus of the county supply and marketing cooperative, which will come to our supply and marketing service point every day to send agricultural materials." Wen Fanglin said.
Huichang County, located in the southeast of Jiangxi, is a traditional agricultural county, with navel oranges planted on the mountains and rice planted under the mountains.
"The climatic conditions here allow you to grow double-cropping rice." Yang Huanan, a large grain grower in Xijiang Town, began to return to his hometown in 2016 to farm, circulating 800 acres of land, "Now planting grain can enjoy a number of policy subsidies, and then I want a variety of grains." ”
Every May is the peak period for early rice fertilizer, Yang Huanan said, "I need about 48 tons of fertilizer in a season of my 800 mu of rice, as long as I call, the county supply and marketing cooperatives will drive me to the designated location, which is very convenient!" ”
From county to village, from village to household, in order to better serve farmers, Huichang County Supply and Marketing Cooperatives has built an agricultural material distribution network covering 19 townships in the county, including 102 village and township-level agricultural material service points, and 8 vehicles travel between counties and townships every day to provide agricultural distribution and other benefiting agricultural services.
Agricultural time does not wait for people. He Pingfeng, head of the Huichang County Supply and Marketing Huinong Service Center, said, "Through the intensive distribution network of agricultural materials, we can ensure that farmers can use fertilizer, so we have also built a large warehouse to expand the storage capacity of agricultural materials." ”
In July last year, Huichang County Supply and Marketing Cooperatives invested 15 million yuan to build a Huinong Service Center, including two commercial fertilizer reserves. In order to meet the reserve needs of fertilizer for spring ploughing this year, the local government adjusted the construction plan and concentrated on completing the construction of one of them first. In front of me, a large truck loaded with 33 tons of fertilizer drove into the warehouse and was unloading goods in an orderly manner through a conveyor belt. He Pingfeng pointed to the order on his mobile phone and said: "Now there are more than 3,000 tons in the warehouse, and agricultural materials are still being transported..."
