"Spring rain shocks the spring clear valley day". In the early morning, the dawn of the morning slowly awakens the sleeping creatures, when the first rays of sunlight in the morning sprinkle on the earth, the fields of Hexi Town, Huating City begin to be lively. All kinds of machinery roared, and the villagers were seizing the season, loosening the soil, mulching, fertilizing, and sowing, showing a vibrant spring ploughing picture of "strong spring and prosperous industry" everywhere.
As the saying goes: "Before and after the rain in the valley, plant melons and beans." "Valley rain is the last solar term of spring, spring is coming to an end, summer is coming, the rain is sufficient, the climate is mild, it is the best season to sow seedlings, plant melons and beans.
In the 1,000-acre soybean and corn strip compound planting base in Hexi Town, the newly paved mulch film shines in the sun, making the earth covered with a layer of "silver". I saw that the villagers each had a hand-pushed seeder, shuttling back and forth in the ridges, accompanied by the rollers under the machinery running at a uniform speed, and the red corn seeds were embedded in the soil, planting the seeds of hope to increase income and get rich.
"The new idea of agricultural production of corn and soybean intercropping is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the masses have really seen the benefits. At present, the mulching work is nearing completion, and the villagers are grasping the moisture sowing, and it is expected that the sowing will be fully completed by the end of April. Zhang Qiang, deputy mayor of Hexi Town, said. It is understood that this year is the second year that Hexi Town has promoted soybean and corn strip compound planting.
Spring ploughing is the hope of the yellow earth, the thoughts and expectations of the people working on this land for a year, and the foundation of the granary of a big country. Since the beginning of this year, Hexi Town has firmly grasped the initiative of "food security", made every effort to integrate land resources, and actively promoted soybean and corn strip compound planting technology around the goal of "corn production does not reduce and income increases one season of beans", and built more than 2,000 acres of soybean and corn strip compound intercropping demonstration base, and carried out technical training, field delivery technology and services in a timely manner, so that farmers can truly achieve "one land and two harvests" and help stabilize and increase grain production.
"A spring rain and a scoop of oil". On the small wheat leaves, hung with a crystal clear small water droplets, moisturizing the growth of wheat seedlings, the growth is very gratifying, the patches of green winter wheat seem to be a natural palette, and the colorful pastoral scenery constitutes a beautiful spring picture.
Spring rain can meet the timely return of winter wheat, and fertilization after rain is conducive to the loss of wheat fertilizer, which is conducive to the absorption of crop roots, so that wheat can develop as soon as possible. "Now it is the spring ploughing season, with the moisture of this timely rain, I feel that the wheat seedlings have gone up a lot, and I am very confident that this year's 140 acres of wheat will be harvested," Gao Chenglong, a villager in Yangzhuang Village, is fertilizing winter wheat, he said happily.
From breaking the ground to harvesting, in the story of hard work, it is the people's vision of a better life, and the beautiful pursuit of spring is still the same as "planting a grain of millet in spring and harvesting 10,000 seeds in autumn". Standing on the ridges of Hexi Town, the flipped land exudes the unique fragrance of the earth, and the hope of a good harvest rises and flows in the spring breeze.
"The valley rain moistens all things, and the spring is strong." In the 1,000-acre Chinese herbal medicine planting demonstration base in Hexi Town, the seedlings of medicinal materials poked out of their heads, and the seedlings of Chinese medicinal materials such as Duhuo and Chuanxiong planted at the beginning of the year are poking out of their "heads" at a rapid speed. Ma Caijuan, the person in charge of the medicinal herb planting cooperative, could not hide the excitement in her heart, in her eyes, the vigorous Chinese medicinal materials depicted a picture of the times of industrial prosperity and rural revitalization.
The land of Hexi Town is flat and the climate is cool, which is very suitable for the growth of medicinal herbs. In recent years, Hexi Town has connected pieces of barren fields through land transfer, carried out concentrated and continuous fine planting, and built 2 1,000-mu medicinal material planting bases and 1 100-mu medicinal material experimental demonstration base, so that the "sleeping" land can be revitalized and grow a "golden key" to increase income and get rich.
"When the crops are born in spring, people will work hard, so the grains will grow. "On the fertile soil of Hexi Town, the curtain of spring ploughing production has been opened, and the seeds of spring sowing are germinating. The hard-working and simple people of Hexi are watering hope with sweat, realizing their dreams with hard work, and brewing their own happiness. (Yu Yaping)
