Recently, as the temperature has gradually picked up, the main grain-producing areas in Northeast China have begun to seize the farming season and plant seeds.
The reporter visited Jilin Province, a major grain-producing province, and saw a busy spring plowing scene in the main agricultural production areas.
When the reporter walked into the seedling shed located in Xueming Family Farm, Ping'an Town, Shulan City, a piece of emerald green came into view, and rows of seedlings emerged and grew gratifyingly. Outside the greenhouse, the farmer Li Xueming is leading the farmers in the final preparations before transplanting.
"This year we plan to plant 127 hectares of organic rice and green rice, striving for early planting and early harvest, and selling them at a good price. We expect to start transplanting rice seedlings in a few days. Increase output by about 5%." Li Xueming said.
In recent years, Jilin Province has continued to guide the majority of agricultural producers to actively develop soybean oil planting. In 2023, the sown area of soybeans in Jilin Province will reach 4.928 million mu, an increase of 280,000 mu over the previous year, and the sown area of oil crops will reach 3.36 million mu, which will remain stable and slightly increase.
When the reporter visited Gongzhuling City, he learned that many farmers plan to expand soybean planting area this year.
"This year I plan to use the corn-soybean strip compound planting model, on the basis of traditional intercropping and interplanting, to allow the two crops to co-exist and achieve double harvests in one season." said Li Zhenjun, chairman of Dongxinglong Agricultural Machinery Operation Service Professional Cooperative in Gongzhuling City .
