Autumn is the harvest season. The arrival of a large number of mature agricultural products makes the land of Jiangsu full of joy of harvest. Let’s take a close look.
At the edge of a rice field in Shunhe Sub-district, Suyu District of Suqian City, several combine harvesters were shuttling back and forth in the golden rice field, constituting a delightful harvest scene.
Guo Jiaquan, a large-scale grain grower, planted nearly 500 mu of rice this year. He took advantage of the good weather to harvest the mature rice.
Rice must be dried at the first time after harvest, which not only saves time and labor, but also reduces grain loss.
With the autumn harvest in Suqian kicked off, Suyu District is expecting to produce more than 1200 catties of rice per mu this autumn.
Hubin New Area is expected to have an average yield of 1500 catties per mu this autumn, and more than 99% of rice harvesting and straw returning will be done by machinery.
Affected by the high temperature this summer, the hairy crabs of Hongze Lake matured later this year than in previous years. At Hongze District Aquatic Market, vendors were sorting and packing crabs and sending them to destinations across the country.
During the National Day holiday, the wholesale price of hairy crabs is about 130 yuan per catty, with a year-on-year increase of 30%, and the average daily sales volume reached more than 100 thousand catty.
The trees in Xiaojia Village, Fangxian Town of Danyang County are hanging with chestnuts that are cracking one after another, looking like blue lanterns dotted on the branches.
Under the trees, several chestnut farmers, carrying plastic buckets and wearing gloves, peeled off the shells of chestnuts one by one, and then put the fruits into the buckets.
