The "lazy" corn planting method makes you increase your production by more than 40%.

In March last year, a rare incident happened in Qingshan Town, Taobei District, Baicheng City.

The male and female villagers of 21 families sat on the Kang of Guo Xiaoguang, the village director, and seriously and solemnly "pressed" their handprints on a contract for conservation tillage covered with whole stalks of corn. Watching the villagers leave with a smile on their faces, a stone pressed on Guo Xiaoguang's heart finally fell to the ground.

In 2010, Guo Xiaoguang went to the district to participate in the conservation tillage class taught by experts from the Municipal Committee of Agriculture. He happily showed the publicity materials he had brought back to the villagers and told them about the benefits of conservation tillage. Unfortunately, the villagers have no interest in this and think that what Guo Xiaoguang said about conservation farming is pure "hoodwinking."

To Guo Xiaoguang's surprise, the villagers did not recognize it, nor did their families. His father has always been the most supportive of his work, but this time he opposed it most vehemently: "what kind of conservation farming?" Can you plant good ground with bract stubble all over the ground? Don't listen to outsiders' nonsense. "

In the most difficult time, Guo Xiaoguang's old brother-in-law was moved. My uncle said, "I have read the materials carefully. Although we have not engaged in conservation farming, we have been working in the United States for 70 or 80 years, and the benefits are clearly there." If he can, why can't we? Besides, you are a college student, and you must see farther than us. Your uncle will follow you. "

In this way, Guo Xiaoguang and his uncle and several other relatives became the first batch of "crab eaters" in the production village.

What farmers believe in is not propaganda, what they see is results. Soon, the taste of this "crab" was smacked out by other farmers.

Sun Fuli has the most say in this. Because his plot is next to Guo Xiaoguang's arable land. During spring sowing, Sun Fuli came to the field early to pick up straw, drag stubble, hug stubble, turn the ground, and ridge. I'm so busy. To his surprise, Guo Xiaoguang of the adjacent plots did not move at all. It was not until half a month later that the exhausted Sun Fuli saw the appearance of Guo Xiaoguang. They didn't do any of the work before farming, but they just loosened the soil with machines and sowed seeds directly.

Sun Hui watched carefully from spring sowing to autumn harvest, and finally understood: "this conservation tillage is really amazing!"

"Xiaoguang didn't work for a few days from spring to autumn. He used half less diesel and less water than I did, but the crops grew better and the harvest was more than mine. We have an output of 8000,000 kilograms per hectare, while Xiaoguang's land produces 10,000 kilograms. Some households are even more severe, and their output can reach 11000 kilograms. In addition, these layers of corn stubble rot, and the land is getting fatter and fatter, and in a few years, I won't be able to compete with others. "

With the success of Guo Xiaoguang and several farmers, conservation farming has suddenly become a hot topic among villagers.

Drought resistance, labor-saving, expenditure-saving, income-increasing, land-raising. The benefits of conservation tillage can be seen, and the enthusiasm of the villagers is naturally high. The number of farmers who are willing to implement conservation tillage in the village has increased from 7 in 2010 to more than 80, and the purchase of "Hanhai II" conservation tillage planter has increased from 7 to 24, and the area of conservation tillage has also increased from 27 to more than 170, accounting for more than half of the corn sown area in the production village!

With the help and support of experts from Baicheng City Committee of Agriculture, Guo Xiaoguang decided to go further: "the implementation of stubble mulching for corn is only a primary way of conservation tillage, and a higher standard is to implement ridge-separated leisure whole-stalk mulching, and strive to carry out large-scale continuous operation."

To Guo Xiaoguang's surprise, the mobilization was unusually smooth.

Twenty-one villagers gathered at Guo Xiaoguang's house, smoking pack after pack of cigarettes and drinking pot after pot of tea.

"with so much straw covering the ground, no matter how strong the wind is, it won't be dusty anymore."

"that is, the Rain Water snow water in the soil can no longer be lost as usual, and if the soil is not moved, can it not resist drought?"

"if you sow seeds in wide and narrow rows across ridges, at least 10% of the seedlings will be increased, and the number of seedlings will increase by 10%, won't it be 10% of the yield?"

"not only that, there are 30,000 to 40,000 jin of straw stubble in a field, which are rotten in the ground, how much fertilizer do they have to turn into?"

Guo Xiaoguang's attitude gave Guo Xiaoguang a bottom. He handed a contract to everyone: "Land is the lifeblood of our farmers. We have never tried to cover it with ridges and leisure stalks. If there is one with high mountains and low waters, it will be difficult for me to be a man at that time!" If you really want to do this, you can put a handprint on it. If you don't want to, you're in a hurry to go back on your promise. "
