After the rain, farmers go to the fields to harvest the winter crop.

(Baonghean.vn) - After heavy rains in recent days, many areas have been supplemented with important water sources for production.

Farmers go to the fields to rebuild the fallen corn fields.

*In Quynh Luu district, taking advantage of the sunny weather after the rain, farmers went to the fields to produce the winter crop.

In the summer-autumn crop of 2016, due to hot weather and drought in many lakes and dams, more than 50 hectares of rice fields in Quynh Van commune had to be abandoned, concentrated in hamlets 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15. Taking advantage of the rainy weather and enough moisture in the soil, people went to the fields to plow and produce the winter crop.

Ms. Le Thi Lien in Hamlet 15, Quynh Van said: "My family has 3 sao of land, but in the summer-autumn crop, 2 sao of land in Ke Lau field lacked water and could not be planted, so we had to leave it fallow for 3 months. Taking advantage of the rain, my family rented a plow to till the land and make ridges to produce the winter crop in time."

After renting a tillage machine, Le Thi Lien's family made beds to produce winter vegetables.

This winter crop, Quynh Luu district produced 4,000 hectares, of which 1,400 hectares were corn; 1,800 hectares were vegetables, beans, and squash. The recent rains have provided important water for farmers to organize production.

Because the rice fields were abandoned for one crop, people had no income, so in the winter crop of 2016, in addition to the district's policy of supporting 50% of the price of seeds for corn, squash, etc., some communes also supported people with part of the cost of fertilizer and work to exterminate rats and locusts that damaged crops.

Winter sweet potatoes are focused on production in many localities.

* In Yen Thanh district, 25 hectares of corn were damaged. As soon as the weather cleared up, farmers gathered in the fields to take care of the crops, restore them and promote the movement of closing the winter crop area.

The heavy rains that have lasted for the past few days have caused the entire corn field of Ms. Phan Thi Trang's family in Hamlet 9, Vien Thanh Commune, as well as the people here, to fall and be damaged. Having just rebuilt the corn field, Ms. Trang said: "Taking advantage of the dry weather and receding water, I went out to rebuild the corn, transported fertilizer to prepare for fertilization, and gathered the broken plants so that we could harvest them at the end of the season, adding to the family's income...".

Winter crop production is supported with seeds and fertilizers, so people are excited to implement it.

In Lien Thanh commune, taking advantage of the sunny weather after the rain, the hamlet mobilized people to go to the fields to drain water, re-water, and urgently continue growing winter crops, striving to exceed the winter crop planting target of more than 6 hectares.

With the goal of winter crop production to increase economic efficiency per unit area, increase income for people, in the 2016 winter crop, the whole commune strives to plant more than 55 hectares of various crops, including 45.5 hectares of corn, 3 hectares of sweet potatoes, 1 hectare of vegetables and 3 hectares of fish in the third crop. To create favorable conditions for the people, the commune directed the hamlets to rent industrial machines to mill the soil and beat the rice to support the people in preparing the soil. The commune People's Committee supported 100% of the cost of corn seeds and vegetable seeds planted on the 2-rice land. In addition, the commune People's Committee also supported 50% of the cost of plowing and fully supported pesticides and rewarded the hamlets that completed the winter crop target assigned by the commune with 1 million VND/hamlet.

People in Yen Thanh district take advantage of the winter crop after the rain.

In the 2016 winter crop, up to this point, the whole Yen Thanh district has planted over 600 hectares of corn on two-rice and colored land. However, due to the storms and rains in recent days, many planted areas have been seriously affected. Of which, more than 250 hectares of corn and colored land have been damaged by 30-70% or more, concentrated in the communes: Vien Thanh, Quang Thanh, Thinh Thanh, Tien Thanh, Hung Thanh, Cong Thanh, Lien Thanh... Immediately after the flood, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of the district also assigned staff to coordinate with localities to conduct damage statistics, focus on directing and urging people to clear floodwaters, rebuild fallen corn, and fill in the washed away areas. At the same time, step up care of the early sowing area and continue to sow the remaining area, striving to close the planned winter crop area of ​​nearly 3,700 hectares.
