Vegetable planting in winter helps farmers increase income

2022-12-17

Recently, while cadres of Shigaitang Sub-district, Beihu District, Chenzhou were pumping water out of the river to the 90-mu (6 hectares) field, local villagers were busy planting rapes.

Wanshouqiao Village is the only one in the subdistrict that has large tracts of farmland. To maximize the output of the land, local farmers are encouraged to plant vegetables in winter.
 
Kuang Shengyang, a villager of Daxi Village, is the head of the “Xiangjiangyuan” vegetable production enterprise and the “vegetable basket” production base of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. 
 
Now, pakchoi, peppers, cauliflowers and others have been planted in the base. Thanks to good water resources and sufficient farmyard manure, the small cabbages grow and sell well.

According to Kuang Shengyang, judging from the current market, 1 mu (about 0.067 hectares) of vegetables can earn about 1,200 yuan in winter. 
 
At the compound crop rotation site in Xiaoxi Village, villagers planted 50 mu (about 3.33 hectares) of chives. In the 150-mu (10 hectares) land, the villagers and village cadres were dredging and erecting water pipes to irrigate the demonstration land. 
 
In the past, many good fields were abandoned because many villagers chose to work outside. Through the construction of comprehensive crop rotation demonstration site, the composite planting mode of rice and chives is adopted, and the autumn and winter rotation interplanting is started after the harvest. This greatly improves the yield of the field. 
 
In the abandoned land of Wanshouqiao, village cadres were commanding excavators to weed, loosen and level the land to plant vegetable seedlings. 
 
On the 95.29-square-kilometer land of the subdistrict, the Party members and cadres at grassroots level are making new contributions to promoting the rural revitalization.
