Editor's note: Everything is long and easy, eating is the greatest. Looking around the world, the COVID-19 epidemic is still continuing, and factors such as meteorological disasters and regional conflicts have increased uncertainty in the food market. At this moment, we are increasingly aware of the extreme importance of "the Chinese people's rice bowl must always be firmly held in their own hands, and the rice bowl must be filled with Chinese grain."
Agriculture harvest, take the initiative in the overall situation. It is crucial to ensure a bumper harvest of food throughout the year and is of great significance to the stable and healthy development of the economy and society. Starting from now on, Xinhua News Agency will open the " One Year Plan in Spring " column, and will continuously broadcast key reports written by reporters in the fields to conduct research and report on the practice of local governments to thoroughly implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions, steadily promote spring plowing preparation and field management, and ensure stable production and supply of grain and important agricultural products. Today, the first article "Work in Spring - A Story from the Current Front of Agricultural Production" is launched
As the earth warms up, the vast fields are becoming more and more colorful, and spring farming production is gradually unfolding from south to north. In North China, Jiangnan and South China, farmers have already gone to the fields one after another. Even in the northeast and northwest where the temperature is lower, it is the peak season for agricultural supplies sales and agricultural machinery renovation.
The people are the foundation of the country, and the valley is the life of the people. Against the background of the interweaving of factors such as the epidemic in the century, regional conflicts, and flood situations, doing a good job in agricultural production this spring and stabilizing the basic agricultural foundation is crucial to my country's economic and social development, and this spring has special significance.
Food security is "the biggest thing for the country". General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that there should be no slightest carelessness in the issue of food security, and we cannot think that eating is optional if we enter industrialization, and we should not expect to rely on the international market to solve it. "We must prepare for the future and always keep the string of food security tight."
Wheat stands up in the spring equinox, and it is worth a thousand gold in one moment. Looking around the country, a picture of working together and working hard is slowly unfolding.

firmly hold on to the initiative in food security
is on the occasion of spring plowing and preparing for ploughing. At Heilongjiang Shengfeng Seed Co., Ltd., workers are orderly screening, processing and packaging soybean seeds in the production workshop.
"Sales of soybean seeds have increased significantly this year. Now there is more than a month before the end of the sales season. More than 15,000 tons have been sold, and less than 10,000 tons have been sold throughout the sales season last year." General Manager Zhang Zhiting said that the company launched new equipment this year, and the total production capacity has increased by about 40%.
Have food in your hands, and don’t panic in your heart. Ensuring the supply of primary products is a major strategic issue. Last year, my country's total grain output remained above 1.3 trillion jin for seven consecutive years, playing an important role in opening up new situations, responding to changes and stabilizing the overall situation.
For this year's grain production, General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to it and emphasizes that -
"The party and government must truly achieve results";
"The main production areas, main sales areas, and production and sales balance areas must all ensure area and output";
"We must adjust the structure in a practical way, expand the planting of soybeans and oil, and see evaluable results";
"1.8 billion mu of arable land must be deserved";
...
...
This year's Central Document No. 1 made a series of deployments, proposing to ensure the stable grain planting area and the output remains above 1.3 trillion jin, and vigorously implement the soybean and oil production capacity improvement project.
Summer grain is the first quarter of grain production throughout the year, and it is of great significance to ensuring supply, stabilizing expectations and increasing confidence. Affected by the rare autumn flood last year, 110 million mu of wheat in five provinces in Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan and Shaanxi were late wheat, accounting for one-third of the wheat sowing area.
In a special year, give your all. It is worth noting that in the past year, in mid-to-late March, the State Council will hold a national spring agricultural production work conference as usual, and this year's event will be about a month earlier than in previous years. Even though the other two national spring agricultural production work conferences since the epidemic have been earlier than in previous years, this year's meeting is the earliest in more than ten years, fully demonstrating the special situation and advance deployment.
seizes the farming season and make every effort to ensure it.This year, the central government allocated 1.6 billion yuan of subsidies for summer grain and wheat to promote and stabilize production. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs organized a bumper harvest of summer grain and wheat in the front line. The leaders of the ministry led the team and 11 working groups went to the main winter wheat production provinces to guide the implementation of key measures.
"We must not only focus on summer grain, but also on annual grain production." Tang Renjian, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has issued grain production targets and tasks to all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, and will also coordinate and promote various departments to ensure the supply of agricultural supplies and do a good job in disaster prevention and reduction.
This year, my country requires all localities to strengthen their responsibilities and stabilize the spring sowing area, guide farmers to reasonably arrange planting structures, stabilize food, stabilize corn, expand soybeans, and expand oil. In terms of increasing the self-sufficiency rate of soybean oil, we actively restore the soybean area in the Northeast region, promote belt-shaped composite planting of soybean corn, and develop oil production.
The current spring agricultural production is progressing smoothly. According to the latest agricultural situation, the current proportion of winter wheat seedlings in the country is 84.7%, an increase of 14.2 percentage points from before winter; the national spring grain has been sown 4.7%, of which 27.9% of the sowing of potatoes in the southwest South China region have been completed, 3.2% of the spring corn seedlings, 1.7% of the soybean seedlings in the northwest region have been completed, and 18.5% of the seedlings in the northwest region have been completed; 46.6% of the seedlings in the south China are completed, and 84.8% of the seedlings in the south China are completed, and nearly 30% of the seedlings in the Jiangxi and Hunan are completed.

epidemic prevention and landing without any mistakes
"Now is the fungus planting period in the village. On the one hand, we do a good job in checking and disinfecting transportation raw materials vehicles, and on the other hand, we actively contact enterprises and sales platforms to open up this year's sales channels." Wang Bai, the first secretary of Zhuerduohe Village, Emu Town, Dunhua City, Jilin Province, said.
is in the critical period of preparation for farming. On the one hand, many places in Jilin strictly implement various epidemic prevention measures, and on the other hand, they are responsible for agricultural production through various methods.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that in response to various risks and challenges, we must focus on the needs of the national strategic, stabilize the basic agricultural foundation, and do a good job in the "three rural issues". We must have strong measures and strong execution capabilities to ensure stable production and supply, and ensure stable development of agriculture and rural areas.
Recently, local clustered epidemics across the country have shown many points, wide ranges and frequent occurrences. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued two consecutive notices, requiring agricultural and rural departments at all levels to coordinate epidemic prevention and control and spring agricultural production.
notice emphasizes that starting from the actual situation in rural areas, differentiated prevention and control measures should be taken to ensure that agricultural activities are carried out without delaying the farming season. It is necessary to organize new business entities such as farmers' cooperatives and social service organizations to provide farmers with services such as farming, breeding and transplanting, and unified prevention and control of diseases and pests. Organize the adjustment and transportation of agricultural supplies and livestock and poultry feed, and it is strictly forbidden to set up checkpoints and intercept or cut off roads at will.
Science and technology plays an important role in coordinating epidemic prevention and control and ensuring agricultural production. Recently, in a wheat field south of Quxinzhuang Village, Renze District, Xingtai City, Hebei Province, Wang Longlong, a member of the Wotu Agricultural Machinery Service Professional Cooperative, was operating an plant protection drone, , for surveying and mapping.
"Affected by last year's rain, the wheat here was sown for more than 10 days late, and it is necessary to manage the "supernatural seedlings"." Wang Longlong said that the drone maps the actual regional map of the wheat. After farmland image analysis, the application plan is automatically generated, changing the original "evenness spray" to "targeted application", which is more accurate, and the use of efficient machinery also avoids the gathering of people, so as to prevent the epidemic and land.
Source, fertilizers, pesticides and other means of production are important guarantees for stable and increasing production in agriculture. In response to the rise in agricultural input prices, the central government has arranged to allocate 20 billion yuan to issue one-time subsidies to actual grain-growing farmers. National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued a notice to deploy the near future release of 1 million tons of national potassium fertilizer reserves, and actively organize the timely release of imported potassium fertilizers in the domestic market.
Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Supreme People's Court and seven other departments have deployed this year's national special governance action on agricultural inputs to combat counterfeiting, and will carry out a dragnet-style investigation of spring farming agricultural inputs in the near future to effectively protect the interests of farmers and safeguard food security and agricultural product quality and safety.

wants both a "rice bag" and a "vegetable basket"
A heavy rain a few days ago made Sun Jianqin, the head of Jianqin Family Farm in Yangshan, Wuxi, Jiangsu, a little worried. In the past two days, he took advantage of the sunshine, and he quickly organized several villagers to pollinate peach blossoms. "It seems that there is no big problem now, and this year's peaches are worth looking forward to."
In recent years, under the guidance of experts, Sun Jianqin has adopted orchard grass , application of organic fertilizer, long-skin pruning and other technologies, and the fruit has the "taste of childhood". This year he plans to organize peach farmers training and on-site observation to attract more young people to engage in local characteristic industries.
not only stabilize the grain sowing area, but also It is important to coordinate the production of "vegetable basket" products in spring agricultural production. Highlighting quality and green agriculture, making full use of scientific and technological means, and improving the accuracy and effectiveness of production with market-oriented approach. We will work together from the fields to the dining table. This is the outstanding feature of this year.
During this year's National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that we must establish a big food concept, start from better meeting the needs of the people's better life, grasp the changing trends of the people's food structure, and while ensuring the supply of grain, it is also necessary to ensure the effective supply of meat, vegetables, fruits, aquatic products and other foods. Nothing can be done if there is a shortage.
market is sending new signals. Data from RT-Mart Supermarket shows that in terms of fresh fruit and vegetable sales this spring, rake rake tangerine , spring vegetables , etc. are the most popular. From February to March, rake tangerines, small Taiwanese farmers mangos, daffodils, "Oriental honey" honey melons, blueberry are the most popular fruit categories; Provence tomatoes, spring bamboo shoots, toon , grass head , malantou are the fastest growing seasonal vegetables.

spring farming production, connecting farmers' harvests and dining tables of thousands of households, needs more careful protection and live up to the spring.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, a large vegetable grower in He County, Ma'anshan City, Anhui Province Yang Jiabin took the newly issued pass card from the government to family farm through the epidemic prevention channel. All the peppers in the fields have been transported out, and today he is busy growing melons. "I was worried about the delay in the prevention and control of the epidemic, but now I feel at ease!"
70% of vegetables, fruits and melons and melons in Hexian County in Anhui Province were sold to the Yangtze River Delta region. In order to ensure that planting is not stopped and transportation is continuously supplied during the epidemic, the county Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau has obtained vehicle passes and employee passes for the vegetable supply park and trading market in advance. Currently, more than 500 tons of red peppers, lettuce and other vegetables are transported out every day, and spring farming production and supply are carried out in an orderly manner.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs recently further deployed that all localities should strengthen their responsibilities and stabilize the spring sowing area, pragmatically manage the spring field, and strictly implement the mayor responsibility system of the "vegetable basket". Implement the "green channel" policy for transportation of fresh agricultural products, and do a good job in vegetable production in the "South Vegetable Transportation North" base and northern vegetable production areas. Fast-growing leafy vegetables and sprouts should be appropriately developed around large and medium-sized cities that are severely affected by the epidemic.
In this extraordinary spring, from fields to orchards, from grasslands to mountains and forests, farmers have worked hard and sweated. All localities and departments have actively promoted the structural reform of the agricultural supply side, made every effort to ensure the production and supply of grain and important agricultural products, continuously met the increasingly diversified new consumption needs, laying a solid foundation for building a new development pattern, and providing strong support for stabilizing the overall economic and social development.
