Modern agricultural spring is ushered in at high latitudes and cold regions.

In March, Beijing was suddenly warm and cold, but Zhang Enliang, a deputy to the National people's Congress and mayor of Heihe City in Heilongjiang Province, felt a warm wind in his face: "Spring is coming, and I am very happy to report to farmers across the country through the Farmers' Daily. Heihe, which is located in the cold zone of high latitude, has also ushered in the spring of modern agriculture!"

When interviewed by reporters at the station of deputies to the National people's Congress, Zhang Enliang talked about the momentum of agricultural development. He said: Heihe once won the title of an advanced city in grain production across the country, and last year grain production achieved a bumper harvest, setting another record high. In the case of no increase in land area, grain production has increased continuously for many years, thanks to the rapid development of modern agriculture.

Modern agriculture is led entirely by science and technology. Zhang Enliang said: in order to speed up the introduction, popularization and application of agricultural scientific and technological achievements, Heihe City has built a Heihe "five gardens and one point" national agricultural science and technology park with an area of more than 1.5 million mu, including the Sino-Russian Agricultural Science and Technology Cooperation Park, the Sino-Russian Linte Science and Technology Industrial Park, the High-latitude Cold Grain and Oil Industry Park, the Sino-Russian Food processing Trade Park, the healthy Bioindustry Park, and the first demonstration site for the construction of a new countryside. What are the characteristics of Heihe? That is, "cold high latitudes, organic black soil, excellent ecology, and Sino-Russian cooperation." Therefore, it is necessary to focus on the development of grain and oil planting and processing industry, forest product breeding and planting industry, characteristic cold water fish breeding industry, Sino-Russian food processing trade industry and healthy biological industry in high latitude and cold land. Under the demonstration and guidance of the park, the planting structure of the whole city has been further optimized, and the planting area of high-quality and efficient crops such as corn and potatoes has been increasing. As the northernmost area of rice cultivation in the country, Heihe has good rice quality and high yield. Last year, the rice planting area reached 400000 mu. At present, it is summing up experience and promoting northward expansion. In addition, Heihe has also built 50 modern agricultural demonstration parks with a total area of more than 1 million mu, driving more farmers to join modern agriculture.

Zhang Enliang said that in the process of developing modern agriculture, intensive land management is very important. At present, the moderate scale operating area of Heihe City accounts for 65% of the total sown area. There are 1249 farmers' professional cooperatives of various types in the city, and 21 cooperatives have won the title of national and provincial demonstration cooperatives and top 100 cooperatives. The 50 demonstration parks just mentioned are operated entirely by new agricultural operators, with the largest reaching 156000 mu, with more than 260 advanced applicable technologies such as large ridge and dense planting of soybeans. The application rate of large-scale agricultural machinery, the comprehensive mechanization rate in the field, the utilization rate of improved varieties and the arrival rate of technology have all reached 100%.

Speaking of his plans for agriculture this year, Zhang Enliang is full of confidence: "this year, we will implement the project to upgrade characteristic agriculture in high latitudes and cold areas, further highlight the advantages of black soil in cold areas, and build production bases such as non-genetically modified soybeans." strive to achieve a green (organic) food certification area of 3 million mu.
