Farming is busy, and a thousand fields are sown in spring. At present, the weather is sunny and the temperature is rising steadily, which is a good season for ginger planting.
After the early stage of soil turning, insecticide, ridge formation, ginger officially entered the planting stage, some workers hold shovels to open ditches, some lean over and carefully cultivate the soil, some are mulching for the planted ginger, and the field is full of vitality in the spring planting picture.
"There is a special way to grow ginger, and now is the best time to grow ginger. Before sowing, the ginger ditch should be laid, the base fertilizer should be applied, the depth of the ditch should be 60 cm, the plant spacing should be kept at 10 cm, and the row spacing should be 50 cm. Liu Xuedong, the person in charge of Huanyu Farm, introduced.
Liu Xuedong planted a total of 25 acres of ginger this year. Speaking of the benefits of ginger, he calculated an economic account, the output value of ordinary corn and peanuts per mu is about 1,000 yuan, excluding the cost of seeds, fertilizers, labor, machinery and other costs, the average net income per mu is six or seven hundred yuan. The yield per mu of ginger is about 12,000 catties, and the planting cost per catty is 1.2 yuan, and the price of ginger is more than 1.2 yuan, there is a planting profit. Looking at the land full of ginger, Liu Xuedong's eyes were bright, full of energy, and full of expectations for the harvest.
Ginger has the advantages of high yield, easy management, short production cycle, etc., the market price is rising year by year, and through technical improvement, the quality and yield of ginger seedlings are also improving year by year, which greatly stimulates the enthusiasm of ginger farmers. Ginger planting not only brings considerable economic benefits to growers, but also provides employment for the surrounding people. "When planting ginger, we can use about 10 people a day, and when harvesting ginger, our base can use up to 20 or 30 workers a day, all of whom are nearby villagers. Liu Xuedong said. "I can earn more than 100 yuan a day, I don't have a heavy life, and there are many people here, which is much better than being idle at home!" asked how he felt about working here, and the villagers of Xizhaike, who were planting ginger, said happily.
The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the good times of the year look at the spring ploughing. The hard-working farmers in Xizhaike Village are just a microcosm of spring ploughing preparation. In the context of the implementation of rural revitalization, Xiadian Town has paid close attention to the actual situation of early spring and tight farming, adhered to the word "early" and started with the word "real", and is gradually exploring a new path with local characteristics and in line with the development of modern agricultural production.
