Investigation on soybean planting in Heilongjiang Province in 2004

Introduction: With the beginning of spring ploughing, Tianqi futures information department's investigation of grain crops in Heilongjiang Province is also gradually launched This investigation is not limited to the reclamation system, but we have also greatly enhanced the investigation of local (rural) areas Now we publish our investigation results as follows (because spring sowing is just started in various areas, this investigation is only a preliminary investigation, and the final figures need to be completed It can only be determined after the end of spring sowing, and the estimated time is in the middle of June): 1 Soil moisture Because of the heavy snowfall (rain) in Heilongjiang before spring sowing (January April 2004), for example, the average rainfall of farms in Mudanjiang reclamation area from January to March 2004 is 41.46mm, and the average rainfall over the years is 14.98mm, this year is more than one time of the average over the years In Jiansanjiang, Hongxinglong and Heihe areas in the east of Heilongjiang Province, many areas delayed the sowing of crops due to the excessive water accumulation in the fields during spring sowing During the "May Day" holiday, Heilongjiang Province generally fell from small to moderate rain in various areas, and there was heavy rain in some areas Therefore, from the perspective of the whole province, the soil was slightly wet According to the forecast of the meteorological department, in the middle of May, Heilongjiang Province mainly had fine weather, which was favorable for the planting of crops 2 Sowing of main crops: wheat is the first to be sown in Heilongjiang Province At present, wheat sowing is basically completed in all parts of Heilongjiang Province However, some wheat in Heihe area in the north of Heilongjiang Province, Jiansanjiang area in the East and Hongxinglong area can not be sown completely as planned due to the fact that the field is too muddy and the machine can not be sown in the ground At present, the whole province has just begun to sow soybeans, which is far behind last year in terms of progress According to our statistics, on May 12 last year, most of the soybeans in Heilongjiang Province have been sown Rice and corn have also begun to be planted This year, the state has increased subsidies for rice, and some areas in Heilongjiang Province have increased the planting area of rice However, due to the late introduction of subsidy policies and the influence of geographical environment and other factors, it is expected that the actual planting area of rice will not increase much this year III soybean planting area in Heilongjiang Province in 2004 Recently, we have carried out a sampling survey on 17 local cities, counties and 33 farms that mainly produce soybeans in Heilongjiang Province The sampling survey area has reached about 25.4 million mu (within the plan, excluding "black land"), accounting for 55.23% of the total soybean planting area in Heilongjiang Province last year (within the plan) The sampling data is comprehensive, because our company has a lot of advantages over other cities, counties and farming systems in Heilongjiang Province Good relationship, I believe that the data we get is also more reliable According to our statistics, in 2004, the sown area of rural soybean in Heilongjiang province increased by 15.93% compared with the previous year, and the sown area of soybean in the reclamation system increased by 6.61% compared with the previous year According to the weighted average calculation, the sown area of soybean in Heilongjiang Province is expected to increase by 13.97% compared with the previous year In 2003, compared with 2002, the soybean planting area in Heilongjiang province increased by about 20% It is not easy to see such a large increase this year (restricted by some factors, the specific planting numbers of cities, counties and farming systems in Heilongjiang Province will not be published here.) Affected by the high spot price of soybean last year, farmers in Heilongjiang Province have a high enthusiasm for planting soybean, which is shown in the following aspects: the growth rate of soybean planting area in rural areas (local cities and counties) is relatively large, while the growth rate of agricultural reclamation system is relatively small There are several reasons for the above situation: first, all the rural areas have been contracted to households, farmers go according to the market economy, they can plant whatever they want to make money, and the government's guidance for farmers is not significant Second, Heilongjiang's land reclamation system has not been fully contracted to households, and the land in some areas is still in the state of one package a year The government has a certain influence on the adjustment of crop planting structure in that year The third is the cultivation system, especially in the central and northern areas The proportion of soybean planting over the years is very large In some areas, the proportion of soybean area in the total cultivated area has even reached more than 90% In addition to the reasons such as continuous cropping, the potential of these areas to continue to increase soybean area has been very small This year, some farms in the eastern part of Heilongjiang Province have indeed increased the planting area of rice, which is also limited The area of soybean increased But we should see that at present, soybean, corn and other crops are just in the stage of sowing How is the progress of soybean sowing? How much wheat can be converted to soybeans? At present, these factors cannot be determined, so our statistics can only be a preliminary result, and more accurate statistics can only be determined in early June But in any case, it will be a fact that the soybean planting area in Heilongjiang Province will increase significantly again this year.
