The sting is approaching, and it is the critical time to do a good job in crop field management in Xiaochun and preparation for ploughing in big spring.

Chengdu Yonghong Agricultural Machinery Professional Cooperative is about 6 kilometers away from Yanggong Community. Liu Changhong, the head of the cooperative, introduced that the cooperative has realized the mechanized planting of four varieties of rice, wheat, rapeseed and potatoes.
For farmers who need services, the fee is 500 yuan per mu of land, and each household can save about 200 yuan per mu of land.

Chemical planting is highly recognized.”
Mechanized and large-scale planting has become very popular in Sichuan.
There are also many such cases in Zhongjiang County, Deyang City.
Jinyan Village, Huanglu Town, Zhongjiang County has collectively transferred more than 1,000 mu of idle and inefficient land.
