CCTV News: In the past two days, as the weather warms up, many places have entered a critical period of spring plowing. Farmers from all over the country are scrambling to catch up with the farming season and are busy with spring sowing.
In Liaolan Town, Pingdu City, Qingdao, Shandong Province, farmers travel among the ridges, busy sowing carrots. After sowing, bamboo strips should be inserted and mulched to keep the carrots warm and used to deal with possible "late spring cold" weather. This year, Pingdu City expects the area of spring-sowing carrots to reach 50,000 mu. As of now, 39,000 mu have been sown.
In a agricultural input enterprise in Laixi City, Qingdao, Shandong Province, the production work here is also very busy. The workers are busy packing and bottling various agricultural inputs and sending them to all parts of the country.
In Qingao Village, Xiapu County, Fujian Province, potatoes have also ushered in a sowing period. The agricultural machinery shuttles through the fields, and the farmers divide the work into groups to sow seeds.
In order to improve land utilization, Qingao Village has adopted a rotational planting method in recent years. After planting rice in the last season, it will rotate cash crops such as potatoes, cabbage, and cauliflower. In addition, the village has continuously promoted the construction of agricultural infrastructure such as water conservancy and roads, and established professional cooperatives for large-scale planting, helping farmers increase their income in various ways.
