(Baonghean.vn) - Taking advantage of the warm and sunny weather, these days, farmers in Hung Long commune, Hung Nguyen district are urgently going to the fields to plow the land, plant rice seedlings... to prepare for the 2016 spring crop.

Across the Hung Long fields, people are working together to prepare for the 2016 spring crop. |
 |
Ms. Vo Thi Ngan (Hamlet 10B, Hung Long) happily said: this year the weather is more favorable than last year so the spring rice is also better. This year her family sows 7 sao of rice, mainly X28, Khai Phong 1 and Nep 352 varieties. She is hoping that with favorable weather like this, the spring crop will definitely be successful. |

To ensure the safety of spring seedlings - one of the methods that farmers have applied in recent years is to cover rice with plastic, both to avoid frost and damage from rats, and to ensure good growth of rice plants. |
 |
The land consolidation has created favorable conditions for farmers to mechanize their fields. Currently, Hung Long has 4 multi-function plows. Mr. Hoang Dinh Phuc (Hamlet 11A) said: he invested in buying a plow in 2014 with a total value of 150 million VND to serve the people in the area. He charges 150 thousand VND/sao of land. By the end of this spring crop, he will have "pulled back" the capital he spent. |
 |
Not only Hung Long commune, but also communes of Hung Nguyen district are entering the peak period of the main spring crop production. The district's Department of Agriculture said that in the main spring crop of 2016, the entire Hung Nguyen district planted 5,700 hectares, of which high-quality commercial rice accounted for 60 - 70%. Many communes have boldly introduced new, high-yielding corn varieties to plant in the alluvial lands along the Lam River. |
