"The weather was good for these two days, perfect for threshing. You see, this bay of red rice, the spike is large and grainy, we have to earn money this year. Liu Siqing, a villager in Miaoshi Village, Taoying Town, said.
In the golden autumn of September, the rice ears are fragrant, the land at the mouth of the river, and the autumn harvest is busy. In Miaoshi Village, Taoying Town, Jiangkou County, looking out, in a large golden rice field, the rice ears are bent and swaying with the wind, the farmers are sweating, and the air is filled with the joy of harvest. The sound of threshing and the trumpet are far away, and together they compose the "praise song" of the harvest in Myoshi Village.
Planting rice well and planting it to the fullest is an important measure to ensure food security. But how can we increase production and increase revenue? With this question in mind, at the beginning of this year, Liu Yangyou, the party branch of Miaoshi Village, found the Taoying Town Agricultural Service Center for assistance and sought help from the Jiangkou County Agricultural and Rural Bureau. The county agricultural and rural bureau invited experts from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences to visit Miaoshi and recommended the planting of characteristic high-quality red rice hybrid rice "Ruihongyou No. 13" and "Hongyou 1130".
"Our village began to harvest rice in these two days, and the output of this 'red rice' is OK, with an output of about 1300 jin per mu and an output value of about 2600 yuan per mu." Most importantly, our village has contacted the buyers, and our rice is already in the field. Yang Fengcheng, deputy secretary of the party branch of Miaoshi Village, said.
"Our red rice is rich in anthocyanins and vitamins, and its yield and growth cycle are similar to those of ordinary hybrid rice, and the yield is considerable, which is very in line with the current health trend and suitable for farmers to plant." Zhang Shangdu, science and technology commissioner of the Rice Institute of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said.
"This year, the trial planting of red rice in our village can be said to be a complete victory, and some farmers who did not participate in the trial planting are asking whether there are still places in our village next year." Whenever I hear farmers discuss our red rice, my heart is extremely happy, we plan to vigorously promote red rice cultivation next year, build the Myoshi red rice brand, let everyone think of myoshi when you mention red rice, then we will really succeed. Liu Yangyou, secretary of the party branch of Miaoshi Village, sighed.
In order to ensure a bumper harvest of "red rice" and ensure food security, Taoying Town has repeatedly invited scientific and technological experts from the Rice Institute of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences to guide rice production. Remind farmers to pay close attention to weather changes during the flood season, do a good job in field drainage ditch reinforcement and dredging in advance, and guide farmers to focus on the prevention and control of rice diseases and insect pests, and accurately grasp the pathogenesis of early rice diseases and insect pests.
Wu Guobiao, deputy secretary of the party committee of Taoying Town, said that Taoying Town will focus on rural revitalization, based on the development of characteristic industries, make the red rice industry bigger and stronger, and make red rice an ecological product with regional characteristics and become a rich industry that promotes agricultural income.
