#Sannong high heat selection creation # Sorghum is a kind of grain, a kind of life-saving food, once made great achievements, why do you feel that there are fewer people planting sorghum now? I think this is a misunderstanding, because there are not many sorghum planted every year, but the planting area is more concentrated, the number of growers is less than before, but the planting area is more and more, and the yield and harvest are getting higher and higher every year!
Why? Because according to the statistics of big data and what I have seen with my own eyes, sorghum cultivation is indeed increasing, because sorghum consumption is indeed getting bigger and bigger. My hometown is Zunyi, Guizhou, Zunyi Renhuai is the world-famous wine country capital, and every year winemaking consumes a huge amount of sorghum. Because the main raw material of sauce-flavored liquor is sorghum, and it must be sorghum, and it is the famous local red tassel sorghum. Only red tassels can cook high-quality liquor.
For the service of brewing enterprises, Zunyi and even all parts of the province have a large number of sorghum production every year to provide them with sufficient protection. 1.4 million mu were planted in 2018, 1.61 million mu were planted in 2019, and 2 million mu were planted in 2020, and this year's planting area is higher than last year, which is also more than 2 million mu. This is the planting area of sorghum in Guizhou, but in the whole country, the planting area of Guizhou once could not even enter the top three, and the top three were Inner Mongolia, Jilin and Liaoning. It was only in 2012 that Guizhou surpassed Liaoning and squeezed into the top three, but the planting area was very different from the top two, even to the point where it could not be surpassed at all.
Can you say that there are fewer people growing sorghum? Of course, many, at least in terms of planting area and yield is more and more than one year, not to reduce, only to increase, so why plant less people? The key is that the growers are becoming more and more concentrated, and the original scene of planting in every household is gone. Why is this happening? Mainly because of the market, as well as the change in people's consumption concepts. Before the liberation of our country, we experienced a long era of grain shortage and grain shortage, sorghum once made great contributions in the course of the Long March, even in the first few decades after liberation, it also experienced a period of grain shortage and grain shortage, sorghum is still an important brother in grain. However, with the annual harvest of staple grains such as wheat, rice, and corn, sorghum slowly withdrew from the role of grain.
Today's sorghum basically has one role, that is, it is used for winemaking. The second is the temporary spices of people's lives, and make some sorghum dumplings, sorghum dumplings, sorghum porridge and so on to adjust the taste of life. It seems that there is no other use for it, you know? All I can know is winemaking anyway. This is the progress of society, the progress of the times, and the annoyance of happiness. What's bothering you? Sometimes when you want to eat sorghum, you won't do it. Isn't this the happiness of modern people? If sorghum is still grown from house to house as before, does it mean that we are still suffering from food shortages? Therefore, today's sorghum planting area is more and more, the yield is getting higher and higher, there are fewer people planting on the surface, and there is no household planting, which is our happiness!
