The “corn reform” of Yuanping City has taken a new height

[ China Agricultural Machinery Industry News ] In recent years, Yuanping City will continue to explore the "corn reform" pace, and strive to reduce the traditional big autumn corn to about 500,000 acres. At the same time, vigorously continue to develop modern livestock and poultry breeding and deep processing of corn, promote the stable and healthy development of the corn industry, and increase farmers' income.

The “corn reform” of Yuanping City has taken a new height

Since 2015, the corn purchase price has dropped significantly for two consecutive years, directly affecting farmers' income. As a large county for corn planting in the province, Yuanping City has taken advantage of the four measures of “encouraging export, restructuring, improving methods and extending the industrial chain” to explore the “corn reform” and basically realized the “area adjustment and quality”. The goal of increasing production, increasing production, and increasing income. Last year, the grain output of the original Ping City reached 710 million jin, and the per capita disposable income of rural residents increased by 6.2% to reach 9290 yuan.

Encouraging export is the focus of the city's corn storage and storage system reform. Yuanping City adopts various forms to deeply interpret relevant national policies. In addition to encouraging the national grain reserve to take over the warehouse, it also encourages qualified grain purchase and processing enterprises to promote corn export work. In addition, the city has distributed subsidies from the central and provincial finances to the grain farmers in full and on time. As of the end of last year, the city's grain storage exceeded 480 million jin, of which 420 million jin of corn and more than 300 million jin of export.

The focus of the adjustment structure is to reduce the area planted with corn and encourage farmers to grow small grains. Yuanping City has reduced the corn planting area of ​​the city from 750,000 mu to 630,000 mu through measures such as “changing land in dry land, changing grains in corn, and changing fresh food in the autumn”. The adjustment of corn area has made the millet and beans of Yuanping City. The area of ​​miscellaneous grains such as genus and scorpion has increased rapidly. At the same time, the traditional single large autumn corn in the city has also undergone transformation. The planting area of ​​sweet corn, fruit corn, popcorn and silage corn has exceeded 23,000 mu, breaking the pattern of the big autumn corn. Quality optimization brings about the improvement of quality, and it has made a useful attempt to improve the dietary structure of urban residents and increase farmers' income.

The improvement method is to improve the traditional planting method, and to change the uniform single plant to a wide and narrow row and a double plant, and to increase the yield per unit area of ​​corn. After the pilot of key demonstration areas such as Xishifeng Village in Xizhen Township and Tangchang Village in Xiangyang Town, Yuanping City promoted the planting of a wide range of wide and narrow plants within the scope of the conditions. The large feature of this planting method is that the number of plants per mu can be increased from about 4,000 to about 5,000. The ventilation is good, the light is transparent, and the lodging resistance is increased. The average yield per mu can be increased by about 15% to 1150 kg, so that the grain farmers can make up for the increase. The loss caused by the price cut.

While consolidating and increasing corn production capacity, Yuanping City pays attention to continuously exerting strength and increasing the value of corn in extending the industrial chain. The city has issued a series of opinions to support the development of livestock and poultry. Through project bidding, attracting investment, and encouraging the construction of a number of standardized breeding bases for dairy cows, beef cattle, pigs and chickens, we strive to convert more than 200 million kilograms of corn on the spot. At the same time, the city encourages food companies to use corn as raw material to develop corn food into the market, so that corn has more new ways to eat, and put the new style on the table of the people.
