There are few idlers in the countryside in May, so the sericulture is planted again. With the advent of summer, Xihe County ushered in the critical period of coltsfoot flower seedling weeding, the fields were crowded, and farmers were busy everywhere.
Walking into the coltsfoot planting base of Xihe County Zhongli Banxia Professional Cooperative in Jiangxi Town, the villagers picked up the soil, put seedlings, weeded in laughter, and removed weeds between shovels and shovels, and released coltsfoot seedlings full of hope for prosperity.
It is understood that the coltsfoot flowers in Xihe County begin to sow around the Qingming Festival every year, seedlings and weeding in summer, and digging in late autumn and early winter, which is deeply loved by farmers because of its short growth cycle and low planting cost. At the same time, because of its simple management, it also provides a channel for left-behind women and the elderly in rural areas to increase their income due to their simple management.
Zhang Zhongjun, head of Xihe County Zhongli Banxia Professional Cooperative, said: "Our cooperative has been planting coltsfoot flowers, fritillary and Sophora ginseng for a long time, and today we are weeding and penetrating seedlings for coltsfoot flowers, with an average daily employment of about ten or twenty people, thirty or forty people when busy, and even fifty or sixty people, with an annual labor volume of three or four thousand. ”
Zhang Ying, a migrant worker, told reporters: "I work near the cooperative, I have a job every day, and I think it's very good to settle every month, 1,800 yuan a month." ”
In recent years, Jiang Xi Town has closely focused on the concept of "rural revitalization, industry first", adhered to the party building to lead the development of rural industries, adopted the development model of "party branch + cooperative + farmer", and worked together to develop characteristic industries such as Chinese medicinal materials and greenhouse vegetables on the basis of ensuring food security, laying a solid industrial foundation for the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside while developing and expanding the village collective economy.
