On October 17th, as the golden autumn settles in, villagers in Xiaowangou, Peishe Town of Wenxi County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province, are busy sowing winter wheat. Equipped with seeds and fertilizers prepared in advance, they feed them into the seeders. The hum of machinery fills the air as the county embarks on the planting of 512,000 acres of wheat.
Wenxi County is known as a high-quality wheat production base in Shanxi Province. To ensure a successful fall planting season, the county is actively promoting and implementing various agricultural subsidy policies. These initiatives aim to shift farmers’ attitudes towards planting and stimulate their enthusiasm for wheat cultivation.
Local townships have initiated technical training sessions focused on wheat preparation and sowing. These workshops address the geographic and climatic specifics of the villages, covering essential topics such as seed selection, land preparation, fertilization, and disease prevention. This training equips farmers with the vital knowledge necessary for effective wheat planting.
Additionally, Wenxi County has been proactive in distributing agricultural supplies and high-quality wheat seeds directly to farmers and their fields. This effort ensures that farmers are well-prepared with organic fertilizers and superior wheat varieties. During the current planting season, local agricultural machinery departments are coordinating with professional co-operatives to ensure the efficient distribution and use of seeders and farm equipment. This coordinated approach aims to achieve the high-quality completion of the 512,000-acre wheat planting task, laying a strong foundation for a bountiful wheat harvest next year.
