Spring is also the "harvest season". A few days ago, Gangzi Township ushered in a bumper harvest of Chinese medicinal materials.
In the medicinal herb fields of Gangzi Village, several large excavators shuttle back and forth, and the workers work together to remove soil, pick up, and ship...... A vibrant "spring busy picture" slowly unfolds.
Wang Zhili, a grower, told reporters that he contracted 110 acres of land to plant medicinal herbs last year, with a yield of about 1,500 catties per mu and an income of more than 2,000 yuan. "The main crops are cotton membranaceus and licorice, and the income is much higher than that of traditional crops. After finishing the medicine, we will continue to plant this year's medicinal herbs. ”
While increasing the income of growers, the Chinese herbal medicine industry also provides temporary jobs for local farmers. An Heyang, who is digging medicinal herbs, told reporters that he can earn 150 yuan a day here, "It's good to earn some pocket money while there is no work in the field." ”
In recent years, according to the topography and climate characteristics, Gangzi Township has actively adjusted the industrial structure, developed the Chinese herbal medicine industry, and adopted the method of "dealer + cooperative + small farmer" to plant more than 2,000 acres of Chinese herbal medicines such as hyssop, parsnip, bellflower, skullcap, etc., which has injected strong momentum into promoting agricultural quality and efficiency improvement and driving farmers to increase their income and get rich.
