Remember the TV series "The Years of Burning Passion", Shi Guangrong invited the villagers to eat "white-faced sorghum rice"? In fact, "white-faced sorghum rice" is our local variety in Heilongjiang, with good quality but low yield. As people pay more attention to scientific diets, "white-faced sorghum rice" is once again served on the people's table.

In Xichuan Village, Xiaoling Subdistrict Office, Acheng District, Mao Xinguang, a large farmer, has tried to adjust the planting structure in the past two years, no longer only planting corn, but also starting to plant millet, sorghum, sticky corn, soybeans, etc. The sorghum he planted is white sorghum. The idea of planting land has changed, and the income has increased, and Mao Xinguang is ready to continue to expand the planting varieties and areas of grains and grains to meet different consumption needs and drive the villagers to revitalize the countryside together.

A few days ago, Mao Xinguang was vacuum packaging for processed millet and sorghum rice at home, and there were many millet and sorghum rice that had been packed on the ground. Mao Xinguang said: "Recently, more than 10,000 kilograms of millet and white sorghum rice have been sold, and many buyers are repeat customers, as well as new customers introduced by old customers, which sell quite well." ”

Mao Xinguang planted 530 mu of land this year, in addition to more than 50 mu of paddy fields, millet and sorghum accounted for nearly 300 mu, there is a small part of sticky corn, the rest of the land grows soybeans and ordinary corn. In previous years, he has been growing corn, a single variety, and the income is not high. In recent years, he has transferred the farmland of his fellow villagers and begun to try to grow niche crops such as millet, sorghum, and sticky corn. Although the yield of these crops is not high, the price is several times that of corn, millet is sold for more than 10 yuan per kilogram, the price of sorghum rice and sticky corn is not low, and the small test of the cattle knife will get a lot of gains.

"My family's millet, sorghum, sticky corn, etc. are all grown organically, without pesticides, artificial weeding, good quality, and rest assured when eating." Mao Xinguang said that he has studied market demand, people are paying more and more attention to health, diet structure has also changed, the demand for grains and grains has gradually increased, and the market prospects are broad. In the past two years, his family's area of millet and sorghum cultivation has increased. Mao Xinguang is also planning to continue to increase the variety of planting, soybeans, red adzuki beans, mung beans, red kidney beans and other beans are in the plan, instead of planting grains.

"Now it is popular to sell goods online and live stream with goods, I am still a layman, I have to grasp to understand, but also have to register the brand..." Mao Xinguang said, he is very concerned about new knowledge and new formats. Seeing that Mao Xinguang had made money by planting grains and miscellaneous grains, the villagers learned from him, and Mao Xinguang unreservedly passed on his experience to everyone. Mao Xinguang said: "If one person is rich, it is not rich, but only when the villagers are rich can the countryside truly achieve revitalization." Through these two years of experimentation, it was found that only by adapting to market demand can the products grown sell at a good price, and it is easier for everyone to work together in a group. ”
