Original title: People laugh at each passing year -- Grassroots agricultural workers talk about the harvest festival of Chinese farmers
Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 20 (reporter Hu Lu, Dong Jun) "Now there are soybeans and sorghum all over Arong Banner. It's a harvest scene, and farmers are overjoyed. They are full of joy to welcome the harvest festival of Chinese farmers." Luan Tianmeng, secretary of the Arong Banner Committee of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, said happily.
The first harvest festival of Chinese farmers is approaching. At the Chinese and foreign press conference held by the Information Office of the State Council on the 20th, Luan Tianmeng and three other grass-roots agricultural workers exchanged ideas around the Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival in combination with local agricultural and rural development.
In this harvest season, harvest is the common landscape in the vast land of the countryside. Dong Minfang, chairman of Fengrui Agricultural Machinery Professional Cooperative in Yueyang County, Hunan Province, said that Yueyang County, Hunan Province, belongs to the double cropping rice planting area. In previous years, the output of grains planted in two seasons was 1 ton, and the output value was more than 2000 yuan. Under the condition that the minimum purchase price of rice was lowered this year, the local cooperatives carried out structural adjustment and carried out co breeding of rice shrimp, rice fish and rice frog. This is the season to harvest rice. It is estimated that the rice yield per unit area can exceed 1200 kg. With the income from crawfish harvest in May, the entire output value has tripled.
Huang Guoping is the leader of rice and fishery comprehensive planting and breeding in Pengze County, Jiangxi Province. Since December 2015, he has invested in the construction of 14000 mu Poyang Lake shrimp and crab rice planting and breeding base in Taipo Lake Modern Agricultural Park in Pengze County, becoming the first batch of national rice and fishery comprehensive planting and breeding demonstration areas. He said that today is the first day for the base to catch hairy crabs. It is estimated that this year's output will reach 2700 tons, 1100 tons more than last year's 1600 tons.
With the deepening of agricultural supply side structural reform, China's rural industries are developing in a greener and more ecological direction. "Rice is an important food ration. The rice frogs and rice shrimps are now jointly raised, and pesticides cannot be used in the fields. The frogs themselves eat pests, so the quality of rice is also very good. This is actually the best guarantee for ecology, and also the best guarantee for food security. In addition, a traceability system has been developed throughout the planting process, which can monitor the whole process," said Dong Minfang.
The establishment of the Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival is not only a simple celebration of the harvest of agriculture, but also a spiritual harvest for hundreds of millions of farmers.
The 22nd is the harvest festival of Chinese farmers in Jiangxi Province. Huang Guoping said that he felt that the participation of farmers in the activities has increased significantly. "Many local farmers take the initiative to send their own planting and breeding products to the exhibition in the whole province, which was very rare in the past."
Recalling the experience of returning home to start a business in 2013, Dong Minfang said: "The establishment of this year's Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival is an affirmation of the identity of farmers, the profession of new professional farmers, and the environment we work in. The most direct manifestation of farmers' prosperity is harvest. As a new professional farmer, I am very happy."
