Recently, in the organic sorghum planting base in Jinlong Town, Longmatan District, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province, the mature glutinous red sorghum stained the mountains red, and it was heavy and bent down, and the grains of light brown sorghum rice looked particularly crystalline and full under the sunlight. Cut the ears, thresh and dry. Even if the sun is shining, it can't stop the joy of the growers.
As an important agricultural pillar industry in the area, Longmatan District scientifically plans to develop characteristic agricultural industrial parks according to local conditions, and vigorously promotes the "order sorghum" model with the model of "farmers + cooperatives + enterprises", which provides local enterprises with high-quality brewing raw materials while also making farmers' pockets bulge. At present, the local has developed orders for 11,000 mu of organic sorghum, and the annual output value is expected to reach 24.5 million yuan, and the growers can increase their income by more than 4,000 yuan.
