🌿 Spring's here, and farmers across the Chinese mainland are bustling with activity! From the terraces of northwest China's Shaanxi Province to the sprawling fields of Liaoning in the northeast, the spirit of the season is alive and kicking.
In Langao County, Shaanxi Province, farmers are prepping their iconic terrace fields for seedling growth. The county is gearing up to plant rice on an impressive 15,000 mu (about 1,000 hectares) in 2024. Talk about planning ahead! 📅 By the end of April, they aim to have all preparations wrapped up to make the most of the spring vibes.
Meanwhile, over 4,700 agricultural machinery service organizations are rolling out in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality. With the help of local authorities, farmers here are leveling up their efficiency and cutting down costs. 🚜 Efficiency boost, anyone?
Liaoning Province, often dubbed part of China's \"grain barn,\" is keeping its grain sowing area steady at over 53.03 million mu (around 3.54 million hectares). Stability is key when you're feeding a nation! 🌾
\"Now, 80% of farm households have snagged their seeds, and 70% have stocked up on fertilizers. Overall, production costs for grain farmers have dipped this year. We've inspected and repaired over 8,000 sets of agricultural machinery, ready to roll for spring sowing,\" shared Li Fugang, director of Tieling City Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau.
From north to south, east to west, the dedication of these farmers is truly inspiring. Here's to a fruitful season ahead! 🌱✨
