These burdocks are yellowish-brown in color, each about 70 centimeters long, with a diameter of seven or eight centimeters for the thick ones and three or four centimeters for the thin ones. Several workers neatly load the bundled burdock onto trucks and transport them to the processing plant in Lanling County, Linyi City, which is set up by burdock farmer Gao Pengfei.

"500 acres of burdock are expected to harvest 125 tons. Gao Pengfei said that burdock can not be planted anywhere, it is best to be sandy land, not too waterlogged. "The soil here in Dongli Guantun Town is loose and breathable, and there is no masonry underground, which is very suitable for growing burdock. This year is the 4th year of planting, the harvest is good, burdock after deep processing, can be made into burdock pickles, burdock slices, burdock wine, burdock tea and other health products, exported to South Korea and other countries, deeply loved by the local market. Gao Pengfei said.

At the same time, because burdock is more troublesome to harvest, a large number of workers are needed, which effectively drives the employment of local villagers. Every harvest period, Gao Pengfei will look for local villagers to come to work, "I can work here for more than three months, earn about 100 yuan a day, and do not delay taking care of my family." I think the order planting model of burdock is very good, easy to survive, easy to manage, low cost, guaranteed, and I also want to transfer land to try planting next year. A villager at the scene said with a smile.
