Autumn fields, harvest scenes in full view. In Xiaodailou Village, Sangkuo Township, Xiayi County, the sorghum trees are neatly arranged in a row of squares, which is spectacular. Several harvesters shuttled back and forth in the sorghum fields, a busy harvest scene. It is understood that the sorghum planted by Guo Shuai is an organic glutinous sorghum specially used for winemaking, and the ear length of organic glutinous sorghum is more than 20 centimeters, which is nearly 30 percent higher per mu than planting traditional crops.

Guo Shuai, a large sorghum grower, began to circulate land to plant orders for sorghum in 2018, and through his development, radiation has now led to the vigorous development of sorghum planting by farmers in surrounding townships such as Jiyang and Huiting, and now the sorghum planting area has reached more than 10,000 mu.
Villager Li Guangchao: There are sixty or seventy people when the farmers are busy, and about 20 or 30 people in normal times. When the farmer is busy, he is given management, about two or three thousand yuan per month.
Guo Shuai, a big sorghum grower: We signed a recycling contract with the distillery, and after receiving it, he pulled it away by himself, (next step) I want to circulate more land to drive the surrounding masses to get rich.
