May 15, 2022 23:05


  Recently, the phenomenon of "cutting green wheat for feed" in wheat producing areas such as Shandong, Henan, and Hebei has attracted public attention. After experiencing many barriers such as resisting autumn floods, promoting weak seedlings, and preventing pests and diseases, this week, the wheat harvest is less than 20 days away. The wheat that is growing well is expected to have a bumper harvest this year; but at the same time, one mu of green wheat field is 1,500 yuan. The purchase price of silage around the silage also really makes the farmers heart.
  In this regard, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs recently issued a notice, requiring all localities to comprehensively investigate all kinds of wheat destruction, such as the start of construction and silage wheat, and pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen the protection of wheat fields and resolutely put an end to the destruction of wheat. However, he also said that ensuring food security and increasing farmers' income should not be in conflict, and local governments should take more practical measures to ensure the reasonable income of grain farmers, strengthen farmers' confidence in increasing their income and help protect food security.

For the wheat fields that have been requisitioned as construction land, construction should be started after the wheat has matured and harvested, and cherish the fruits of labor of farmers and friends for more than 200 days and the rice bowl of the Chinese people. Everyone together.

A lack of water is a more familiar scourge in China’s northern half. There, deserts are growing and underground aquifers are shrinking. Despite country-spanning channels dug to quench the north’s thirst, water scarcity is one of the most pressing challenges for the area’s long-term development outlook. All in all, the amount of water available per person in China is just one-fourth of the world average.
