People are diligent and spring comes early, and the work is fruitful in autumn. After the Qingming Dynasty and before the beginning of summer, it is the best season for spring plowing in the southern area of Taiyuan, walking into the fields of Beige Town, Xiaodian District, the seeding machine rumbles and sows good seeds, the farmers cover the mulch film and plant seedlings, and the vegetables in the greenhouse are growing vigorously and vigorously...... A "spring busy farming map" is being laid out on the field of hope in Beige Town.
"Intensive cultivators" in vegetable fields
"After a hard spring, we can let the children who work outside eat a bite of the vegetables of our hometown in the summer and autumn, and we are the elderly, and our hearts are very beautiful!" said Master Li, who was working in the fields.
As the sun sets, the vegetable fields in Daijiabao Village, Beige Town, are gradually lively, and the vegetable farmers are covering mulch, sowing rapeseed, cultivating soil and fertilizing, and the tender green seedlings carry the hope of the farmers for a year and strive to break through the soil. Daijiapu Village has opened up more than 70 acres of farmland with high quality, low alkalinity and convenient irrigation to the villagers as a family vegetable garden to meet everyone's daily food needs.
In the vegetable field, spinach, garlic, shallots, leeks and other vegetables compete with each other under the nourishment of sunlight and water, and vegetables such as eggplant, pepper, zucchini, and beans have also been planted one after another, dyeing the tender green of the yellow earth, constituting the most gorgeous palette of spring.
The "Big Iron Ox" in the Cultivated Land
In the past, ploughing, ridge raising, sowing seeds, and fertilizing were all done manually, but now they are all done by agricultural machinery, and we farmers can be regarded as freeing our hands!" Master Ren, a villager in Liangjiazhuang Village, is beckoning agricultural mechanics to sow corn seeds at the edge of his field.
Since this round of sowing, many farmers in Beige Town have enjoyed the "field nanny" service, and the village committee has divided the time and arranged agricultural mechanics to sow seeds for farmers, which is an important measure to improve the level of agricultural production mechanization in Beige Town. At present, the town has a total of 87 tractors, 21 combine harvesters, 6 agricultural drones and other agricultural machinery and equipment, and has cultivated more than 100 local agricultural mechanics to participate in various processes of agricultural production. With the use of agricultural machinery, the town's spring ploughing production has run out of "acceleration", and the sowing area has increased from 0.5 mu per person per day to 30 mu per machine per day, and the production efficiency has increased by nearly 60 times. The sowing depth and plant spacing of mechanized operation are consistent, which ensures that crops emerge early, seedlings are full and strong, and the "double improvement" of agricultural production efficiency and quality is realized.
"Tech coffee" in the field
Recently, Beige Town invited experts from the Shanxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences to conduct in-depth explanations and practical exercises in Liangjiazhuang Village around the selection of varieties of cash crops and vegetables, sowing density, cultivation methods, pest control and other key links, which further improved the grain planting technology level and field management ability of growers. Since the launch of spring ploughing, Beige Town has invited agricultural technical experts to go deep into the field to "check the pulse", do enough "homework" for farmers to sow scientifically, consolidate the "confidence" of spring ploughing, and ensure that advanced agricultural technology enters the village, shed, and field.
At the same time, the planting industry of special crops in Beige Town is also steadily advancing, Liujian Village plans to start the planting of more than 50 acres of Liujian green onions around May; the green leafy vegetables in the vegetable greenhouses of Dongpu Village, Xipu Village, and Liangjiazhuang Village are lush and gratifying; and the more than 1,000 acres of alfalfa grass in Tongguo Village have reached the harvest season, swaying in the wind, flowing green and verdant...... and the agricultural industry development pattern of "prosperous industry, bright characteristics, and rich people" has gradually taken shape in Beige Town.
