In the chilly early morning of late autumn, going through the fields in Lam Thao district, it is not difficult to see the image of people busy planting and taking care of winter crops. For many years, the winter crop has been identified as the main crop of the three crops of the year in the district, not only contributing to the effective exploitation and use of land resources, creating a large agricultural output to supply the market but also solving jobs and increasing income for farmers.
Farmers in Son Vi commune prepare seeds for planting.
Immediately after harvesting the summer-autumn rice, farmers in communes and towns in the district immediately started planting winter crops, especially cold-loving crops, striving to ensure the time frame and area according to the plan to reach and exceed the set targets.
This year's winter crop, the whole district planted 1,083 hectares, of which: Corn area is 105 hectares, striving to yield 55 quintals/ha; vegetables, tubers, fruits of all kinds are 978 hectares, striving to yield 230 quintals/ha or more. Up to now, in localities with a tradition of vegetable production such as Phung Nguyen, Cao Xa, Tu Xa, Ban Nguyen, Son Vi communes, green has covered the fields. In communes such as Xuan Huy, Xuan Lung, Thach Son, Tien Kien, most of the areas are deep-lying fields, flooded when there is heavy rain, so localities have focused on directing, synchronously implementing many solutions and allocating resources to invest in the transportation system, internal irrigation to serve production.
Based on the actual situation of each locality, the District People's Committee has supported seeds for people under the program to encourage the development of agricultural production in the suburbs. Along with traditional crops, the district continues to build models of production and product consumption linkages so that people can feel secure in their cultivation. The main groups of crops selected for planting are: corn, squash, potatoes, sweet potatoes, vegetables, and soybeans of all kinds.
People are excited to work in the winter crop fields.
While busy squeezing the cucumbers that are climbing the trellis, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong, Cao Xa commune shared: Every year, as the harvest season comes, we prepare the land, divide the fields into small beds, make high beds for easy drainage and plant vegetables to ensure timely harvest. For the winter crop, I prioritize growing vegetables with a short growth cycle and early harvest.
This winter crop, farmers in Cao Xa commune planted more than 100 hectares, mainly corn, soybeans, potatoes, pumpkins, green vegetables, etc. People were supported 100% of the land preparation and seeds for the area of pumpkin and soybeans; 50% of the land preparation and seeds for the area of potato cultivation and signed a cooperation agreement, guaranteed output for agricultural products. Instead of only producing traditional vegetables, many households have proactively changed the crop structure, bringing vegetables that are popular in the market and have high economic value into production. In October, the People's Committee of the commune also organized a training conference on safe vegetable growing and winter crop growing for 60 farming households in the local specialized vegetable growing area. People were instructed on safe vegetable production according to VietGap standards, how to use fertilizers in safe vegetable production, methods of using pesticides and herbicides safely, etc.
To limit the situation of vacant land in the winter crop, right from the beginning of the crop, the specialized departments have advised the District People's Committee to promptly issue a plan for the sowing and planting time frame, promote propaganda and mobilize people about the purpose and significance of winter crop production with the motto of harvesting to where, producing to where, and at the same time choosing short-term varieties to cover all arable land areas, not leaving the fields fallow. For the area of one rice crop, one fish crop, the commune government encourages people to actively cultivate aquatic products with a total area of 478.5 hectares.
People of Phung Nguyen commune take care of squash plants for fruit.
As one of the localities actively propagating and mobilizing people to promote winter crop production, comrade Pham Van Anh - Vice Chairman of Son Vi Commune People's Committee said: In order for people to be passionate about the fields and actively participate in winter crop production, the commune has supported people with 100% of land preparation costs, guided and oriented people on some types of crops with high productivity and quality, at the same time, local leaders together with the Commune Agricultural Extension Team and socio-political organizations regularly go to the fields and join people in farming.
To achieve high results in the winter crop production, the staff of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and the district's agricultural extension officers have always been proactive in staying close to the grassroots, closely coordinating with localities, guiding people on care methods and fertilizing according to the schedule to create favorable conditions for crops to grow and develop, increasing their resistance to pests and adverse external conditions.
Hopefully, with the efforts of local authorities and the diligence of farmers, a successful winter crop will be created, bringing high economic efficiency.
