Recently, the 2024 Summer Harvest Wheat Competition in Lishui District officially launched the Lishui District Grain Farmers Competition.
Issued “competition order” for summer wheat harvest
and award bonuses to yield winners
Now is the critical period for spring plowing preparations. Shen Mingtou, a major grain grower in Hefeng Town, is carefully checking the growth of wheat seedlings. This year he planted 1,800 acres of wheat. In addition to the Yangmai 25 variety selected in previous years, this year he also added two new varieties, Yangmai 34 and Sumai 198.
”The main purpose is to compare and see which variety is more productive, so we can plant it in a large area next year.” Shen Mingtou said that he has signed up to participate in this year’s summer harvest wheat competition to catch up and surpass the high yield. “According to past experience, my yield per unit area is more than 1,000 kilograms. This year, I have tried planting new varieties, and I have one-on-one guidance from agricultural technicians. The yield per unit area may reach a new high. I am confident that I can achieve the bonus!”
As soon as the “competition order” was issued, like Shen Mingtou, major grain growers in the region were eager to try and signed up enthusiastically. Currently, the area of wheat in the field in the district is 132,600 acres, an increase of 3,000 acres year-on-year. The wheat is in the regreening and jointing stage, with more than 83.2% of the first and second types of seedlings. The growth process is slightly earlier than last year and the growth is good.
According to the relevant person in charge of the District Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, this competition is aimed at the entities that create green, high-yield and high-efficiency wheat, and large-scale grain and oil planting entities in the region.
