[Smart Farmers] Satellite view of farmland | Spring Equinox has arrived, but farming continues and everything is renewed

March 21st marks the fourth of the twenty-four solar terms: the Spring Equinox.

Spring is the best time of the year, and it is the time for development. Spring farming production has been carried out from south to north across the country, and the busy season is about to begin. Spring management, spring farming, and spring planting are about to enter a busy stage. High-standard farmland in various places seizes the farming season and fully guarantees spring farming and planting.

Changzhou Economic Development Zone, Jiangsu Province

In recent days, the preparation for spring ploughing in Changzhou Economic Development Zone has been in full swing, weeding and fertilizing wheat fields. All things grow in the soil, and where there is soil there is food. In recent years, Changzhou Economic Development Zone has significantly improved the irrigation and drainage capacity of farmland, the operation capacity of agricultural machinery, and the production capacity of cultivated land through the construction of high-standard farmland networks, canal networks, and road networks, which not only strengthens the cultivated land, but also realizes the true meaning of "storing grain in the ground".

Luxi County, Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province

Strengthening the construction of high-standard farmland is a key measure to consolidate and improve grain production capacity and ensure food security. In recent days, Luxi County has seized the sunny days in spring to carry out construction, implemented precise policies, and vigorously promoted the construction of high-standard farmland projects throughout the county, ensuring that construction tasks are completed on time, in quality and quantity, to help spring farming production.
In recent years, Luxi County has taken the construction of high-standard farmland as a starting point and the improvement of grain production capacity as its primary goal, and has focused on building high-standard farmland that "guarantees high and stable yields in drought and flood, and is technologically advanced and beautiful". It has selected more than 120 villages in Pushi Town, Dalan Town, Heshui Town, Xixi Town and other townships, and scientifically planned them according to the actual conditions of local terrain, landform, water system, etc., to create and build a batch of high-standard farmland.

Da'an Town, Jining City, Shandong Province

The temperature is gradually rising, and the fields in Da'an Town, Jining City, Shandong Province are busy. With the substantial improvement of the level of agricultural mechanization, the role of large agricultural machinery has become increasingly prominent here. Up to now, Yanzhou District, Jining City has built a total of 471,600 mu of high-standard farmland, basically achieving full coverage, and the total grain output has stabilized at more than 327,000 tons, effectively promoting agricultural development and increasing farmers' income, and providing strong guarantees for high-quality agricultural development and rural revitalization.

Haiyan County, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province

Spring ploughing is in season, the temperature is rising, and the growth of crayfish is "making rapid progress". During this period, in the rice and shrimp fields of Haiyan, crayfish fry are thriving. Farmers are cultivating shrimp fry while turning ponds and releasing water. In the fields, people are busy in the early spring.
In recent years, Haiyan has actively developed the rice-shrimp industry, built 11 provincial rice-shrimp demonstration bases, 90 demonstration bases with an area of ​​more than 100 mu, and a rice-shrimp integrated breeding area of ​​35,000 mu, achieving an average rice yield of more than 500 kg per mu, an average crayfish yield of more than 115 kg per mu, and an average increase of more than 3,000 yuan per mu. This year, Haiyan County will build and renovate 14,300 mu of high-standard farmland (grain production functional area), the largest construction area in history.
