Walking into Kangying Village, Lilou Town, Laohekou City, potato grower Chen Xiaowei and the villagers cooperated tacitly, beating branches and wiping buds, and they were very busy. The potato variety planted by Chen Xiaowei is Fertile Soil No. 5, which belongs to the original seed of the high-yield generation. Due to the fertile land and abundant water resources in Kangying Village, it provides unique planting conditions for potato planting.
Chen Xiaowei, who was working hard outside, found a business opportunity for efficient potato planting in the process of going south and north. Last year, Chen Xiaowei successively went to Henan and Shuanggou potato planting bases to study, and then returned to his hometown to try to plant 40 acres, with considerable benefits. This year, Chen Xiaowei expanded the potato planting area from 40 acres to 160 acres, and is expected to be listed in May this year, with a yield of 7,000 to 8,000 catties per mu.
At present, Chen Xiaowei has contacted supermarkets and vegetable wholesale markets in Xiangyang, and the potatoes have been booked out before they are listed. Potatoes are listed in advance in May, which can not only stagger the peak period of concentrated listing of potatoes and sell them at a good price, but also replant green onions and other cash crops after the potatoes are harvested to increase land income.
