How to effectively solve the problem of land abandonment when rural farmers go out to work?
In recent years, Tongzi County, Guizhou has revitalized idle land resources, broadened the "industrial road", and guided farmers to develop flue-cured tobacco according to local conditions and increase employment income.

Walking into the contiguous flue-cured tobacco planting site of Tieshan Community in Papaya Town, excavators, rotary tillers, ridging machines and other mechanical equipment are working at full capacity to level the land and plow the work. Dozens of workers are busy building flue-cured tobacco seedling greenhouses. Fully prepare for the cultivation of tobacco seedlings.
