(Baonghean.vn) - This summer-autumn crop, the entire Anh Son district (Nghe An) planted 2,200 hectares of corn, including over 500 hectares of large biomass corn, for animal feed. These days, Anh Son farmers are busy harvesting young corn, to sell to dairy companies or beef farms.
 |
| This year, Mr. Lam Hung Son's family (Hamlet 2, Cam Son Commune) has 5 sao of corn land, harvested 11 tons of young biomass corn, earning about 8 million VND. |
 |
| Delicious biomass corn is harvested when the corn cobs are still milky. Each hectare of corn can yield 40 tons of biomass corn, earning about 36 million VND. |
 |
| The red corn varieties that provide feed for cows that are grown by farmers are CT888, CT919, CT999, CT989... with outstanding advantages such as short growth time; higher plant density, high biomass yield. Therefore, growing this corn variety both avoids main-season floods, increases land use coefficient and increases economic efficiency. |
 |
| Farmers are excited to harvest young biomass corn for higher income than grain corn varieties. |
 |
| Growing young corn to sell to the Australian beef company brings high economic efficiency, so in Anh Son district, many localities such as: Dinh Son 150 hectares, Cam Son 100 hectares, Tam Son over 150 hectares, have converted the area of corn for grain to growing biomass corn. |
 |
| Vast areas of corn in Anh Son are grown to sell to dairy companies and beef farms. |
