The spring ploughing in 2013 was carried out intensively in fine weather, and the farmland was a busy scene everywhere.

This year, the NDRC is particularly concerned about the sowing plan of domestic soybeans, to be precise, the promotion plan of "Jiadou 13".

Their focus is not on the Northeast – the Northeast region, especially the Black Province, is basically covered by the Jiagu soybean planting cooperatives and state farms, and the large-scale cultivation of soybeans has become a climate. Today's soybean farms in Northeast China are full of hot scenes of machinery shuttling and rushing to sow seeds.

On the contrary, the Huanghuaihai region and the southwest region, where the concentration of soybean planting was not high before, did not know whether the spring plowing of Jiagu was smooth.

This can be said to be the first time that the National Development and Reform Commission has supported the future of a planting industry to be led by a private enterprise, even if the proportion of this industry is not high, it is unprecedented, and they can't help but care.

Therefore, in the critical agricultural season of spring ploughing, Hu Qiyuan, deputy director, arranged several staff members of the Department of Agricultural Economics to form a research team and quietly went to the Huanghuaihai area to carry out research.

Coincidentally, the first stop was the cooperative of Cao Lianfu, an old farmer in Lu Province.

Cao Lianfu and several local village cadres visited the dividend meeting of the Jiagu cooperative at the end of last year, and when they came back to publicize it, the people who heard it were called hot in their hearts, so that the staff of Jiagu Agriculture set up the cooperative without much effort. This was also taken by Qi Zheng as a typical case of "Jiagu's strong organizational ability".

In Hu Qiyuan's mind, under the condition that Jiagu organizes production, why does this side have to be busy in full swing, right?

However, it didn't.

Walking into this agricultural base, as far as the eye can see, I see that the continuous farmland is full of all kinds of herbaceous plants - although he has not planted much land, Hu Qiyuan dares to pat his chest to affirm that the field is definitely not planted with any kind of crop, but ...... Grass!

There are also rows of simple sheds on the edge of the field, and groups of geese are leisurely foraging and grazing, but it is a scene of geese fat and grassy, full of ecology.

The research team of five people looked at each other.

After a pause, Hu Qiyuan was so angry that his nose was about to twist: "How can this be reasonable, what is Jiagu going to do, fence the land and let it be wasted?"

He supported Jiagu, not to facilitate Jiagu's abandonment of farmland or to change the nature of farmland. He believes that Qi Zheng is not such a person, the problem is that the decisions made by the above are well-intentioned, and if they are implemented from below, it may become a disaster.

Looking at the pilot projects he randomly selected, the problems were so "serious", how lax Jiagu's management was! This made him feel that he had been deceived.

"Puff ......" Someone next to him laughed, which was quite harsh against Hu Qiyuan's darkened face.

The members of the research team turned their heads in unison, their eyes like knives, and slashed at the person who was laughing.

This is a young man with a somewhat bookish atmosphere, with his trousers rolled up, and an old farmer with dark skin by his side.

The young man looked at the research team and probably saw that their identities were not ordinary, so he smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it." Well, let me introduce myself, I'm Chang Bin, an agronomist at Jiagu Agriculture, and I just heard your opinion, which is not quite correct. ”

Hu Qiyuan's tone was a little unkind: "What's wrong?"

Chang Bin smiled calmly, and then pointed to the cultivated land that "planted grass" and said: "This is fallow, not to let the land be barren, but not to plant crops, so that it can 'recuperate' at the same time, and plant green manure to return to the field, so that the tense and tired cultivated land 'breathe'." ”

"Fallow?" Hu Qiyuan was stunned.

"Yes. Chang Bin is like a teacher, and he is not in a hurry to speak, "After we established the cooperative in Jiagu, we immediately carried out soil testing formulas to scientifically adjust the planting structure. After a thorough test of the cultivated land in this area for trace elements, our company rated it as inferior, i.e. it is quite inefficient to grow any crop. ”

After a pause, he gestured to the old farmer who was traveling with him and said, "This fellow has been farming for many years, and he knows this best. ”

The old farmer next to him is Cao Lianfu, who is also a key member of Jiagu's local cooperative - although these old farmers are difficult to translate their experience into limited theoretical knowledge due to their own limited education level, they are extremely practical and can often effectively solve the practical problems of planting, so the agronomists in Jiagu are very fond of communicating with experienced old farmers, and at the same time are improving their agricultural skills.

Cao Lianfu's eyes were even more vicious, he had already seen that the identity of the research team was extraordinary, so he nodded a little nervously: "Technician Chang is right, we used to plant wheat and soybean crops in a row, which consumed a lot of soil resources. In order to increase yields, more chemical fertilizers and pesticides can only be applied, and the damage to the soil of farmland is also great year after year......

Hu Qiyuan's serious face eased at this time.

Chang Bin, a Jiagu agronomist, looked as usual, and continued: "In the field, there are ryegrass, as well as two legume grasses, arrow-tongue pea and vetch, which are mixed and sown in different proportions, and when they grow to the full flowering stage, we use large machinery to deep plough and turn over the field, and deep ploughing and drying to increase the nitrogen in the soil, and at the same time decompose the toxins accumulated in the soil for many years to improve the quality of the land." ”

"No, no matter how low the income from planting a season of wheat is, it is still a real income, how can the villagers agree to you fallow?" Hu Qiyuan had already come back to his senses, and he didn't believe it.

"It's enough to ensure that farmers' profits don't decrease. Agronomist Chang Bin simply spit out a sentence.

Hu Qiyuan became interested when he heard this: "Oh?

Agronomist Chang Bin had already guessed that the research team was probably the official identity, and in order to avoid misunderstanding, he explained in detail: "The land here is barren, resulting in the output value of planting wheat per mu is only less than 700 yuan. To be honest, the meager income from farming is not enough to maintain and restore the environment......"

Cao Lianfu, an old farmer, nodded his head in confirmation.

"It is a good choice to plant the barren-tolerant 'Jiadou No. 13'. In terms of economic benefits, each mu can at least double the economic benefits, and planting soybeans can loosen the soil, and the rhizobia colonize in the soil after harvest, which is a natural fertilizer. However, it is difficult to achieve a yield of 400 kg/mu with the current inferior soil fertility. Agronomist Chang Bin sighed.

He pointed to the geese in the field and said: "The reason why ryegrass is mixed is to take into account the raising of geese, a 70-day-old ecological meat goose, Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry according to the price of 85 yuan to purchase and sell, remove the cost of feed, a goose net income of 45 yuan, and an acre of field can be stocked with 15 geese, each mu of land alone is the net income of raising geese has 675 yuan." ”

After another pause, he said a little reservedly: "...... Moreover, I also helped them apply to the company, and one mu of fallow land can get a subsidy of 250 yuan from the group, which adds up to a far higher income per mu than planting wheat, how can the villagers disagree?"

"You also provide subsidies?" Hu Qiyuan was shocked.

saw Cao Lianfu's smiling expression, which proved that what Chang Bin said was true.

"Jiagu is willing to make such a big capital?" Hu Qiyuan still couldn't believe it.

Agronomist Chang Bin said lightly: "Goose manure can effectively increase soil organic matter, and the rhizobia of leguminous forage grass can fix nitrogen, both of which improve soil fertility." In a year, the use of chemical fertilizers per mu will be reduced by more than 35%, and the use of pesticides will be reduced by more than 50%. ”

"Is it really that effective?"

Agronomist Chang Bin said confidently: "In our Jiagu, as long as a thin field like this is rotated and fallowed for three years, the soil will feel softer and more textured, and the ecological environment in the field is getting better and better, and there are more loaches, yellow eels, small crabs, frogs, etc......."

Therefore, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Instead of making the land wasted, Jiagu uses green manure to give barren land "paid vacations", increase organic fertilizer, reduce the use of chemical fertilizers, and increase the yield of summer-sown soybeans.

The most important thing is this "paid leave".

Hu Qiyuan touched his chin thoughtfully.

At present, grain production in most areas of the country is twice a year, and in many places in the south there is three crops a year, and the land has been operating at a high load for a long time, and the soil has not been able to recuperate at all.

The state has not failed to pay attention to this problem, and the proposal to "expand the system of cropland rotation and fallow" has been repeatedly raised, but the scale of the pilot project is very limited on the premise of ensuring national food security and not affecting farmers' income.

Unexpectedly, Jiagu has begun his own exploration quietly. No, it's not an exploration anymore, and it is obvious that there is a more mature plan.

Thinking like this, Hu Qiyuan felt that there were too many places worth studying in Jiagu.

Suddenly, he asked the research team to continue to track the progress of Jiagu soybean spring sowing, and he couldn't wait to find Qi Zheng to "nag".

......

What is Qi Zheng doing at this time?

The "four horizontal and two vertical" spirit array water conservancy system is being fine-tuned.

In the past 2012, the end did not come, and natural disasters still existed.

Then, the "four horizontal and two vertical" spiritual array water conservancy system was contributed.

For example, last year's precipitation was generally high, but the spatial and temporal distribution was extremely uneven. The Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Haihe River and other river basins have experienced obvious flood conditions, while the southwest region has had drought for the third consecutive year, but under the dispatch of the "five buckets of clouds and rain arrays" in a series of "four horizontals", the flood situation is slight and the drought situation has been alleviated......

For example, in August last year, three typhoons, "Dawei," "Sula," and "Haikui," made landfall in China within a week, but under the dispatch of the "Tiangang Infinity Array" in a series of "two verticals" along the coast, the power of the typhoons was greatly reduced, and the losses caused were far inferior to the normal level.

Therefore, in the official summary, last year was a good year - the main grain crop producing areas were generally well matched with light, temperature and water, and the occurrence of agrometeorological disasters such as droughts, torrential rains and floods was small, and the affected area was significantly less than the average of the past two decades.

Especially in the United States, when it comes to the "super drought" that it has encountered in a century, it is simply a sense of happiness.

This year, I have the impression that there are many types of meteorological disasters, and the local disasters are serious, and the planting scale of Jiagu has expanded a lot, so it is necessary to make some fine-tuning in advance.

Alas, please call him Qi Son of Meteorology.
