Xinhua News Agency reporter
"Yusheng Hundred Valleys" means the Guyu solar term on the 20th.
Looking from the north to the south, the country is in a busy season of spring plowing.
The latest statistics from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs show that 20% of the country’s spring grain has been sown, which is faster than the same period last year.
In the vast fields, people work hard and sow hope to become the most beautiful picture in this spring.
Take multiple measures to stabilize area and bill of lading production
Recently, the Dongting Lake plain has been busy.
In the field of Guihua Village, Dajing Town, Miluo City, Hunan Province, five rotary tillers moved forward and cut the soil. Blooming alfalfa, verdant green grass, and purple alfalfa were rolled up and then turned into the soil—— They will be made into green manure to nourish the growth of early rice seedlings.
In the seedling growing shed covered with white film, new seedlings have emerged from the ground.
"Now we use new technology to raise seedlings, with constant temperature and humidity, and convenient management. The seedlings are strong, and the later production will be more secure." said You Yi, the person in charge of the Dajing Town Huinong Service Center.
From the south to the north, spring ploughing and spring sowing are busy.
In the courtyard of the Ruifeng Corn Planting Cooperative in Lanxi County, Heilongjiang Province, farmers are unloading agricultural materials such as corn seeds and chemical fertilizers.
This year the cooperative signed a trusteeship agreement for 100,000 mu of land.
Du Yadong, chairman of the cooperative, said that the price of corn last year was good, which drove the enthusiasm for planting. "This year, we will plant all corn for this 100,000 mu."

In the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", stabilizing grain production is of great significance to the overall economic and social development.
Liu Lihua, deputy director of the Plant Management Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that the central government has included grain production as the main target for development this year. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs organized five major actions to stabilize grain production and increase production, striving to achieve a bumper harvest throughout the year.
In terms of stabilizing the area, this year the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs continued to issue grain production targets and tasks to all provinces, and localities also further detailed the tasks and assign responsibilities to counties to townships.
The central government has further increased its support. The minimum purchase prices of indica rice and wheat have been increased by 1 cent per catty. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has integrated and implemented 24 billion yuan of funds to support grain production, the largest amount of funds in recent years.
In terms of bill of lading production, my country has promoted the "turnaround" of the seed industry to start well, completing the task of constructing 100 million mu of high-standard farmland.
Demonstration of green, high-quality and high-efficiency restructuring systems has been carried out in more than 300 counties and cities, and 60 sets of regional and standardized technical models have been integrated and assembled.
Organize and carry out the "Fight for 100 Days to Win Summer Grain Harvest Action", and pay close attention to grain production.
Science and technology escort food production
In the high-standard farmland demonstration zone in Shangshui County, Henan Province, a row of all-in-one drainage and fertilizer machines is on standby at any time to supplement more than 900,000 mu of farmland.
The demonstration area has established an agricultural monitoring platform to monitor insect status, disease status, and moisture content, and update data every 10 minutes to provide accurate guidance for farmers.
"In the past, when you were taking medicine, you would only think of treatment when you saw an illness. Now that we have a monitoring system, the forecast is accurate and the medicine is administered in advance, which is the real prevention." Qiu Shouxian, a large grain grower, said next to the 2,100 acres of land he was responsible for, "field management is also intelligent Yes, as long as I have a mobile phone and water and fertilize the land, I can manage it alone."
Technology changes agriculture.
Not only to escort food production, but also to give wings to high-quality development.
At the rice planting base in Mengzhe Township, Menghai County, Yunnan Province, plant protection drones took off one after another to carry out flying prevention operations on the rice fields.
Ma Tao, head of the Smart Agriculture Department of Yuxi Agricultural Production Materials Co., Ltd., said that 4 drones can complete the prevention and control of 1,000 acres of rice pests in 2 days.
Strengthen investment, implement precise policies, and improve efficiency...In the face of the normal deviation of the agricultural meteorological year this year, and the high incidence of diseases and insect pests, all localities and departments are stepping up to implement prevention and control measures.
Liu Lihua said that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs formulated disaster prevention and mitigation plans as early as possible, instructed localities to implement scientific anti-disaster measures, organized the "Insects to Seize Food and Ensure Good Harvest Action", and deployed the "four-belt" defense line of Spodoptera frugiperda.
At present, wheat in Jianghuai, Huanghuai and other places has gradually entered the heading and flowering period, which is also the susceptible and epidemic period of wheat scab.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs recently held a national meeting on the prevention and control of wheat head blight, requesting all localities to act quickly and resolutely fight the tough battle of prevention and control.
It is understood that in addition to the 1 billion yuan allocated by the central government for agricultural production disaster relief and pest control funds, the local governments of Anhui, Jiangsu, Henan, Shandong, Hebei, and Hubei have raised 1.59 billion yuan for prevention and control.
At present, the area of wheat scab prevention and control has been implemented in more than 100 million mu times.
Strive for another harvest year
In Lingshui Li Autonomous County of Hainan Province, the rice of Anmayang National Southern Propagation Scientific Research and Breeding Base has gradually ushered in harvest.
Extending from the mechanized farming road to the foot of the green hills in the distance, more than 4,000 acres of fields are yellow and green, and the rice waves are churning.
Breeding researchers from all over the country are busy in the fields, rushing to select high-yield and resistant strains, and then bring them back to various places for planting and continue to breed.
As the base operator, Guangling Hi-Tech Company provides customized services to more than 100 scientific research institutions and seed companies across the country.
With the end of the production season, the company will provide information and materials including soil testing formulas, pesticide and fertilizer use records, field crop growth images at various stages, and seed quality identification according to needs, to provide references for scientific research and breeding.
From breeding, planting, field management to guarantee of agricultural materials, from production, scientific research to management, and other fields, people are working tirelessly to meet the harvest year again.
The agricultural situation dispatch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that the current spring farming production situation is good:
——Good foundation of summer food.
The area of winter wheat increased by more than 3 million mu over the previous year.
The southwest wheat has been filled, the Jianghuai wheat area has begun to head, and the Huanghuai wheat area has joint booting. The moisture content of most of the wheat fields is suitable.
——The spring sowing is progressing fast.
Grain prices were good last year, and farmers were enthusiastic about planting. This year, the area of grain planting has increased steadily.
The supply of spring farming agricultural materials is sufficient, and the rate of entering villages and households is high.
Localities prepare in advance and promptly promote spring ploughing and spring sowing.
"In the next step, we will provide precise guidance, advance by division, and strive to achieve the first victory in the summer grain, promote the implementation of the spring sowing grain area, and ensure the completion of the annual grain production goal." Liu Lihua said.
