By the end of July, Hunan, a large rice-growing province in China, has a harvest of early rice. In the past few days, farmers across the country took advantage of the clear sky to harvest early rice and plow to plant late rice.
In more than 800 acres of rice fields in Shangyuan New Village, Jiangshe Town, Yuhu District, Xiangtan City, Xiao Fang, a large grain grower and a "post-90s" boy, is busy fighting for double grabs. I saw bunches of rice grains full of grains. After being threshed by the two continuously working harvesters, they were immediately transported to the drying room by trucks on the cultivating road; the two rotary tillers followed closely, and filled the water after harvesting. Plowing the rice fields.

The harvest is good. There are 800 catties per mu. We will plant late rice soon after the early rice is harvested here. Because it's so popular now (time is tight), grab the fire (in a hurry) here.
[Explanation] Affected by the epidemic, the time of spring plowing in Hunan this year has been delayed. In response to the call to stabilize grain production, Xiao Fang and his family transferred 1,080 acres of concentrated contiguous paddy fields, of which 680 acres were planted with double-season rice. At present, the 680 acres of rice are all mature. Xiao Fang's Agricultural Machinery Service Cooperative is divided into two groups, each with a harvester, a rotary tiller, and a truck. They harvest and plow hundreds of acres of early rice fields every day.
The reporter learned that as a large grain grower, Xiao Fang this year not only enjoyed a moderately large-scale operation subsidy of 100 yuan per mu provided by the Agricultural and Rural Bureau of Xiangtan City's Yuhu District, but also received a subsidy of more than 80,000 yuan for machinery and equipment. This has not only encouraged farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain, but also boosted people's confidence in food security.

(Farming) The benefits are okay, and it is better than working. The country also pays attention to it. The land is not abandoned, and there is still energy.
[Explanation] At present, the late rice seedling throwing carried out by Xiaofang Cooperative and harvesting early rice is about to come to an end.
