Ha Tinh farmers start preparing the land, starting the 2024 spring crop

Taking advantage of favorable weather, farmers in localities in Ha Tinh are simultaneously going to the fields to plow the land, preparing conditions for sowing the 2024 spring rice crop according to the crop calendar.

For many days now, Mr. Hoang Van Thong's family in Phuc Truong village, Kim Song Truong commune (Can Loc) has focused on renting land preparation machines, mobilizing manpower to go to the fields to build banks, bring water into the fields, and start the 2024 spring crop.

According to Mr. Hoang Van Thong, the spring crop is the main crop, so farmers are eager and carefully prepare from the land preparation stage, hoping for a bumper crop. In addition to their own land, his family also borrows and rents fields from households with land but no production needs in the area, increasing the family's spring crop area to over 6 hectares. According to the crop calendar, planting will begin in nearly 10 days, so at this time the family is rushing to complete the land preparation and fertilization steps in the fields.

In the spring crop of 2024, Kim Song Truong commune (Can Loc) strives to plant 946 hectares of rice.

Along with Mr. Hoang Van Thong's family, farmers in Kim Song Truong commune are currently working hard to speed up the land preparation process.

Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan - Chairman of Kim Song Truong Commune People's Committee said: "This spring crop, the whole commune planted 946 hectares of rice of all kinds. Implementing the policy of land accumulation, this crop the commune has consolidated land, increasing the concentrated production area to 290 hectares. Currently, the locality is completing the process of redistributing land and mobilizing people to work the land, prepare to sow according to the crop schedule, striving for a successful crop in terms of productivity and quality".

Localities speed up land preparation and seeding according to the crop schedule.

Implementing Resolution No. 06-NQ/TU dated November 18, 2021 of the Provincial Party Committee on concentrating and accumulating land to develop agricultural production associated with new rural construction in Ha Tinh province in the period of 2021 - 2025 and the following years, in recent times, Can Loc district has focused on directing the implementation of land conversion, land consolidation, plot exchange and demolition of small land banks to arrange fields, form large plots and large fields associated with consolidating and upgrading the synchronous traffic and irrigation system... It is known that in the spring crop of 2024, the whole district organized the planting of 9,167 hectares, of which more than 5,900 hectares were concentrated production. At this time, the communes are speeding up the work of internal irrigation, dredging canals, bringing water to the fields, and completing the land preparation stage soon.

Currently, farmers in Huong Son district are also going to the fields to start the 2024 spring crop. Mr. Tran Quang Hoa - Head of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Huong Son district informed: "This spring crop, the whole district plans to plant 4,680 hectares of rice, of which nearly 160 hectares are concentrated production, mainly in the communes of An Hoa Thinh, Son Ham, Son Giang, Quang Diem, Son Ninh...

To limit risks in production, the district has directed communes to structure one variety to more than 30% of the sowing and planting area and to select the appropriate variety depending on the terrain, ecology and soil conditions. To make sowing effective, the district focuses on directing communes and towns to urge farmers to carry out irrigation in the fields, mobilize machinery to prepare the land according to the techniques recommended by the professional sector.

Farmers in Hong Linh town started to prepare the land, starting the 2024 spring crop.

Along with localities, local irrigation companies are also promoting intra-field irrigation work. Mr. Dang Hoa Binh - Head of Exploitation Management Department, Nam Ha Tinh Irrigation Company Limited said: "The company currently manages and operates 33 reservoirs, 4 dams, 1 sluice to prevent salinity and retain fresh water, 438 km of intra-field canals and more than 1,000 irrigation sluices in the districts of Ky Anh, Cam Xuyen, Thach Ha, Huong Khe, Ky Anh Town and Ha Tinh City. Since October, 16 clusters and stations under the company have arranged maximum human resources to organize intra-field irrigation, creating conditions to supply irrigation water for 22,000 hectares of spring rice in 2024. Accordingly, many tasks are being accelerated such as: weeding canal banks, collecting waste, animal carcasses, and rocks remaining in the canal to avoid causing flow congestion; dredging the canal and reinforcing and maintaining degraded areas... The unit strives to complete 100% of the workload in 1 week, starting to open water to serve people in spring rice cultivation".

Nam Ha Tinh Irrigation Company Limited organizes internal irrigation.

According to Mr. Phan Van Huan - Head of Cultivation Department, Ha Tinh Department of Cultivation and Plant Protection, in the spring crop of 2024, the whole province strives to plant 59,107 hectares of rice.

To achieve the set targets of output (estimated at 34.2 thousand tons) and productivity (estimated at over 57.92 quintals/ha), localities need to speed up the progress of land preparation and irrigation in the fields to serve production, ensuring the time frame for sowing (from January 5, 2024 to February 8, 2024). Accordingly, it is necessary to strengthen the banks and land banks to retain water; apply balanced and correct technical processes for inorganic fertilizers, make the most of organic fertilizers, and add biological products to increase the ability to decompose organic matter in the soil. Note that in areas with acidic and alum soils, farmers need to add lime or fused phosphate to reduce soil acidity to achieve the highest farming efficiency...
