Harvest spring rice quickly, produce summer-autumn crop in time

(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of May 26, comrade Nguyen Xuan Duong - Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee inspected the agricultural production situation in Yen Thanh and Dien Chau districts.

Also attending were Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Dinh Viet Hong; leaders of provincial departments, branches and sectors and leaders of Yen Thanh and Dien Chau districts.

Comrade Nguyen Xuan Duong inspected the rice fields in Lien Thanh commune (Yen Thanh).

In Yen Thanh district, comrade Nguyen Xuan Duong inspected the fields of Lien Thanh commune. This spring crop, Yen Thanh district planted 12,600 hectares of rice, with an estimated yield of 74 quintals/ha. To ensure the agricultural calendar, most farmers apply machinery in production.

Lien Thanh commune alone planted 430 hectares, of which 150 hectares were rice for seed. Although the first planting encountered many difficulties due to consecutive severe cold spells, overall this year the people had a great harvest. Currently, this year's spring rice crop has ripened and farmers in Lien Thanh commune are in the peak harvest season.

This year, farmers in Lien Thanh commune all use combine harvesters to harvest spring rice.

One advantage for the people this year is that the commune's Agricultural Service Cooperative buys fresh rice from the field for farmers at 7,000 VND/kg. It turns out that growing rice for seeds increases profits by 135% compared to growing rice for meat.

Despite difficulties at the beginning of planting, this year is a good harvest year for farmers, with firm, plump rice grains.

Next, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee inspected the high-quality rice growing model in Lien Ho village, Nam Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district.

Comrade Nguyen Xuan Duong shared joy with Yen Thanh people about a bumper crop.

On the same day, Comrade Nguyen Xuan Duong visited the rice fields in Dien Thai commune. Thanks to good investment in intensive farming, this year's spring rice in Dien Thai in particular and the whole Dien Chau district in general has grown well, with an average yield estimated at 72 quintals/ha.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee directed that after the spring rice harvest, rice seedlings must be sown immediately to transplant the summer-autumn crop on schedule.

The inspection team also visited the spring peanut growing model of Dien My commune. On the land where rice cultivation was previously ineffective, this year, under the direction of the agricultural sector, farmers boldly planted the lotus-shaped peanut variety, earning an income of 4.5 to 5 million VND/sao, twice as high as rice cultivation.

After receiving instructions to convert peanut varieties on double-rice land, with an income of 4.5-5 million VND/sao, farmers in Dien My commune were extremely excited about a bumper crop.

At the stops, comrade Nguyen Xuan Duong was excited about the bumper crop and good prices; at the same time, he highly appreciated the efforts of the agricultural sector and localities together with farmers, overcoming natural disasters to achieve a comprehensive success in the spring crop.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to actively direct localities to mobilize people to go to the fields to quickly harvest spring rice, and at the same time sow rice seedlings and prepare the land for timely summer-autumn production.

The agricultural sector needs to calculate and balance the amount of irrigation water. If any area does not have enough water, there must be a direction to change the structure of appropriate seasonal crops. In particular, the sector and localities need to continue researching to introduce valuable crops to replace ineffective rice areas, increase income and improve the lives of farmers.
