Lindian Sihe Township planting order sunflower mu income 1500 yuan

Recently, when I came to the sunflower planting base of Tianhao Family Farm in Sihe Township, Lindian County, I saw more than 10,000 mu of sunflowers blooming with golden flowers against the background of the sun, forming a magnificent sunflower sea landscape.

Compared with corn and other crops, sunflower has shorter growth cycle, easier field management, lower production cost and better economic benefits. At this time, sunflowers are in the stage of bee pollination, and six groups of beehives are introduced into the base for artificial pollination, and the yield per mu is 30% higher than normal.

Xing Haitao, a family farmer of Tianhao, said happily: "this year, we have signed an order of 11000 mu with Taiwan merchants, with a guarantee of 5 yuan per jin. At present, the sunflower is growing well, and the income per mu is expected to be about 1500 yuan. "

In recent years, Sihe Township has taken adjusting the agricultural structure and changing the thinking of economic development as an important measure to increase farmers' income. "in order to avoid the market risk caused by the single industrial structure of corn planting, we focus on characteristic cash crops. Through the development in the next two years, we will gradually form a fist industry with local characteristics, laying the foundation for increasing farmers' income. We have increased the planting area of characteristic crops by looking for orders, channels, markets, and information scientifically. This year, we have planted about 100000 mu of characteristic crops, such as rice, sunflower, sugar beet, and hemp, and the planting area of corn has been gradually reduced. " Said Zhao Yuqing, head of Sihe Township.
