[Explanation] In early April, the temperature of the land in northern China has risen, and the farmland has gradually thawed. It is at the time of spring ploughing and preparation.
On April 9, a number of construction workers were operating large-scale machinery in the farmland of Hadatu Farm Ranch in Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Reservoirs, field pipelines and other facilities.

We are now about to carry out the excavation of the front-end first-level pumping station. Our project is ready to be completed on May 20, which is also to lay a certain foundation for our agricultural irrigation in June.
[Explanation] It is understood that the farm is located in the hinterland of Hulun Buir grassland, belonging to an arid and semi-arid area, known as "nine droughts in ten years". It was announced that this farmland was also included.
After scientific demonstration, the water source engineering construction project to divert the water from the Hailar River was established, and the irrigation area was reached through the 76.86-kilometer main water pipeline and 3 reservoirs with a total capacity of 520,000 cubic meters, breaking the bottleneck of agricultural production development.

The whole (project) can reach an irrigation area of 250,000 mu of land, accounting for about 75% of our total cultivated area. After the (project) is completed, our output and benefits will (will) increase.
After the completion of the (project), the adjustment of planting structure should be changed. For example, we can plant some high value-added products, such as sugar beet, potato, oat grass, etc., and the benefit per mu is more than 1,000 yuan.
[Explanation] The reporter learned that the transformed farmland will realize "drought can be irrigated and flooded can be drained", so that the advantages of agricultural land concentration, scale and mechanization will be highlighted.
And this is just a microcosm of China's ongoing high-standard farmland construction. According to public information, through the promulgation and implementation of the "National High-standard Farmland Construction Plan (2021-2030)", China will build 1.2 billion mu of high-standard farmland by 2030. , in order to stabilize the grain production capacity of more than 1.2 trillion catties.
