Jilin City, Jilin Province, where the Songhua River crosses the city, has fertile land, abundant water resources, and unique conditions for rice cultivation. In recent years, Jilin City has vigorously promoted the construction of high-standard farmland. Brands such as Wanchang Rice and Shulan Rice have gained popularity in China. Agriculture has become exquisite, and good rice has been sold at good prices.

In the early spring, the minimum night temperature in Jilin City was still around 0 ° C, and there was no plow on the black soil. But rice growers have been busy a long time ago, raising seedlings, preparing agricultural materials, contacting agricultural machinery ... for a good harvest this year.

In Shulan City, Jilin City, Cai Xue, a college student who returned to the countryside to work in agriculture, contracted 1,500 acres of rice fields this year in order to further expand the area of ​​high-quality rice cultivation.

On Cai Xue's farm, a box of 5 kg high-quality rice was sold for nearly a hundred yuan, and sales were very good. "In recent years, everyone has become more and more demanding on the taste of rice and agricultural residues." Cai Xue said, "As long as the rice is good, consumers can accept it at a higher price, and the repurchase rate is also high."

While purchasing agricultural materials, composting with cow dung, and cooperating with online platforms to promote the organic rice brand ... Although the land is not plowed, Cai Xue and farmers are not idle for a moment.

In the office transformed into a private house, the sun was shining brightly. Although affected by the epidemic, the preparation work seems to be urgent and tense, but Cai Xue is still full of confidence. She intends to invest more on the online platform and work hard on building high-end and high-end brands to meet everyone's need to "eat good rice."

Good rice can sell for a good price-in the rice planting area of ​​Jilin City, this is already everyone's consensus. "The profit of 'Daluhuo' is low. Although it is simple to grow, the sales volume is declining," said Xiao Jianbo, a major grain grower in Yongji County.

Xiao Jianbo changed the model and initiated a "private order" for rice cultivation. The customer packs a field, pays the deposit and selects the varieties, and the price is calculated on the basis of acres. Under this model, high-quality rice can increase income by nearly 10,000 yuan per hectare per year. Some customers told reporters that if they want to "bundle fields", they have to "grab" before spring cultivation, and late, they have to wait until next year.

Today, high-end rice produced in Jilin City, 20 yuan a catty is very common, do not worry about selling. Behind the good rice and the good price are the local initiatives to actively promote the construction of modern agriculture.

Jilin City has held agricultural training classes for many years. This year, it has trained 360,000 farmers through the Internet and other methods, and recommended high-quality rice varieties and technologies to farmers. On the surface; spare no effort to guarantee spring tillage, irrigation, power supply ... Jilin Power Supply Company organized 108 spring tillage and electricity protection service teams, active in the field.

According to the data provided by the agricultural department of Jilin City, there has been a lot of precipitation since the beginning of winter last year, and the soil moisture is good. At present, the city ’s reservoir water storage is 128% of the same period of the previous year. "After the ice and snow are completely melted, the 'peach blossom water' will also be very abundant." Qiao Guitian, the director of the Shulan Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau, said, "Water, soil and fertilizer, this year is another harvest year."
