During the harvest season, the fields in Dulan County, Haixi Mongolian Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province are red with quinoa, and harvesters shuttle back and forth in the field, harvesting, transporting, and drying the most beautiful scenery.

By the end of October, the autumn harvest area of crops in Qinghai Province reached 8.
6004 million mu, accounting for 99.
3% of the total sown area, including 4.
548 million mu of grain crops and 2.
2024 million mu
of oil crops.
According to agricultural statistics, this year it is expected that the total output of grain crops and oil crops in the province will reach more than 1.
1 million tons, and the total output of oil crops will reach more than
300,000 tons.

Since the beginning of this year, Qinghai has continuously strengthened and refined measures to stabilize grain, and although it has suffered from various degrees of natural disasters and the new crown pneumonia epidemic, it has still maintained a good momentum of stable and good agricultural production.

As the autumn harvest and planting enter the final stage, Qinghai ushered in another bumper harvest year
.

Stabilize the area and ensure the "grain" of good land

If the land does not exist, will the grain be possessed? Arable land is the foundation of grain production, and stabilizing the "ballast stone" of food security is, in the final analysis, to stabilize cultivated land, especially the sown area of grain
.
Since the beginning of this year, the Qinghai Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Provincial Food Bureau and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs have jointly taken the lead in the implementation of the province's food security production responsibility system.

Walking into the wasteland improvement areas such as Songduo Township Garden Village and Shangtan Village in Wushi Town, Huzhu County, Haidong City, wheat and rapeseed fluctuate with the wind, and green oats grow in the mountains at higher
altitudes.
It's hard to imagine that the promising crop in front of you was an overgrown wasteland
last year.

Li Gong, a villager in Shangtan Village, said: "At the beginning of spring, the county agricultural and rural department provided chemical fertilizers, pesticides, mulch film and other materials, plus the government firmly grasped it, and planted all the wasteland that had not been planted in recent years, and this year.

”

Li Changqing, secretary of the party branch of Tuguan Village in Wuji Town, said: "After the subsidy for the protection of cultivated land this year was issued, another subsidy for grain planting was issued, and the state's policy is really very good for our people.

”

"This year, the autumn planting area in the province has increased significantly compared with previous years, and the planting area of compound crops, winter wheat, winter rape and so on has reached the highest in the
past.
" According to the person in charge of the planting management office of the provincial department of agriculture and rural affairs, since the beginning of autumn this year, Qinghai has regarded the autumn planting of crops as an important way to improve land utilization, increase crop output and peasant income.

Up to now, the area of secondary crops in the province has reached 168,300 mu, an increase of more than 30,000 mu over the previous year; the planting area of winter wheat has reached 200,500 mu, an increase of more than 30,000 mu over the previous year; winter rapeseed has been expanded to the banks of the Yellow River on the basis of trial planting in Ping'an District, and the planting area has reached 8,500 mu, an increase of 06,000 mu
over the previous year.

Hide grain in the ground and guard the foundation of food security

Storing grain in the land not only means that the cultivated land area should be guaranteed, but also that the quality of
cultivated land should be improved.

In 2021, the high-standard farmland construction project in Xibao Village was listed as a high-standard farmland pilot construction project in Qinghai Province, making useful explorations
for the reform of the basic farmland system.

"In the past, the plots were very small, the roads were not easy to walk, the difficulties for farmers were relatively great, and the people were not willing to diversify, and would rather go to Xining to work than farm
.
Through the 2021 'small and large' high-standard farmland construction project, Xipu Village has implemented nearly 5,000 acres of land, and the large plot can reach more than 20 acres, which is suitable for large-scale agricultural machinery operations, saves labor, and improves the planting rate and utilization
rate of land in Xibao Village.
Fan Yi, deputy director of the village committee of Xibao Village, said
.

After the "small plot and large plot", the land plot has been reduced from the previous 6606 to more than 2500 now, and the unified sorting, unified circulation and unified cultivation of "medium and low-yield fields" and "high-yield fields" have been realized, and the cultivation rate of the project area has reached 100%.

The implementation of high-standard farmland not only facilitates farmers' farming, but also reflects the most direct benefits in the
constantly bulging "money bags".

Through the construction of high-standard farmland, Feijia Village, Hala Zhigou Township, Mutsu County, has leveled the original 136 small fields into 24 large fields, realizing the existing watered land from small to large and concentrated contiguous
.
The annual new grain production capacity is 269,800 kg, the annual economic benefits increase by 259,600 yuan, the quality of cultivated land is improved by 0.
5 grades; land irrigation has been guaranteed, the efficiency of mechanized operation has been significantly improved, and through the project, Qinghai Hufeng Agricultural Science and Technology Group Co.
, Ltd.
has carried out circulation contracting of part of the cultivated land in the area for hybrid rapeseed planting
.
The average income of cultivated land has increased from more than 500 yuan per mu to about 1,000 yuan for circulation contracting, which has increased the yield of cultivated land and increased the income of farmers
.

Qinghai has less arable land per capita, the quality of cultivated land is generally not high, more than two-thirds of the cultivated land in the province belongs to "Wangtiantian", rural areas have a lot of historical arrears of infrastructure, especially in mountainous areas, there are generally "difficulty in diverting water" for farmland irrigation, "difficulty in passing" for agricultural machinery, "difficulty in management" for intensive farming, and "difficulty in improving grain production capacity"
.

Faced with such arable land conditions, how should Qinghai embark on a road of high-quality and abundant yield? "The only way to produce more high-quality agricultural products on limited arable land is to improve the quality of
arable land.
The construction of high-standard farmland will fundamentally improve the basic conditions of farmland and enhance the quality of cultivated land and the environment
.
The relevant person in charge of the farmland construction management department of the provincial department of agriculture and rural affairs said
.

Arable land is the key to agricultural development, the foundation of food security, and the foundation
of farmers' livelihood.
The construction of high-standard farmland that guarantees harvests from drought and flood, and has high and stable yields is an important starting point
for implementing the rural revitalization strategy.
This year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued Qinghai Province the task of building 200,000 mu of high-standard farmland, of which 10,000 mu
were developed for efficient water-saving irrigation.
By the end of October, 160,000 mu of high-standard farmland had been built, of which 09,600 mu had been developed for high-efficiency water-saving irrigation, accounting for 80% of the annual task, and the investment of 312 million yuan had been completed, and the construction task
was expected to be fully completed by the end of November.

Hiding grain in technology, looking for the "key" to increase income

A good seed produces good food
.
Recently, "Qingzai No.
12" double-low hybrid rapeseed independently cultivated by Qinghai Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences and selected by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs as the leading variety of rapeseed in 2022, with a yield of 261.
5 kg per mu, setting a record
for high yield in the concentrated continuous planting area of spring rapeseed in northern China.

There is no doubt that the contribution rate of good seeds to yield improvement is undoubted
.
Li Wancang, head of Dongliang Family Farm in Qitar Village, Nanmenxia Town, Huzhu County, told reporters that in recent years, through the continuous efforts of scientific research workers, rapeseed seeds have been continuously updated, bringing farmers a bumper harvest
.
In his words: "Behind the 'increase in revenue', good seeds are the key
.
For example, after the successful breeding of 'Qingzao No.
7', it replaced the cabbage-type rapeseed grown in some areas, achieving a breakthrough
in yield and quality.
”

Rapeseed is the largest crop in Qinghai Province, with a perennial planting area of 2.
3 million mu
.
In recent years, the "Qingzao" series of varieties have revolutionized the planting of rapeseed in the spring rapeseed area with the characteristics of abundant yield, wide adaptability and excellent quality, promoted the upgrading of varieties, and realized the high yield, high quality and high efficiency
of the spring rapeseed industry.

If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools
.
Increasing the mechanization rate is also crucial
to ensuring food security in the province and increasing farmers' income.

In recent years, Qinghai has formulated technical guidelines for the mechanization of rapeseed, potato, pasture and barley production, and promoted the mechanization technology of the whole process of major crops and forage production in different regions, and the comprehensive mechanization rate of crop cultivation and harvest in Qinghai Province has exceeded 62%.

At the same time, it has developed equipment such as corn mulching on demand, deep pine joint land preparation, broad bean mulching on demand, broad bean harvesting and potato picking, and held on-site training activities on the whole process mechanization technology and green environmental protection mechanization of major crops, and guided agricultural machinery service organizations and agricultural machinery households to use advanced and applicable mechanization technologies
.

"In the past, there was no water here, which affected the harvest, and the people were reluctant to cultivate, resulting in nearly 600 acres of arable land gradually being idle and abandoned
.
" Mo Zhisheng, director of the agricultural machinery station in Ledu District, Haidong City, introduced that since last year, the party committee and government of Flood Town in Ledu District have actively communicated with Zhu Shuanggui, the leader of getting rich, and transferred these 600 mu of wasteland, and cooperated with the agricultural machinery station in Ledu District to cover all links of the whole process of agricultural production through the whole mechanization application of corn, so as to save water resources and reduce the efficiency of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and reduce agricultural input costs
.

In addition, this year, 8 joint city (prefecture) joint county (district) supervision groups, 40 county joint county joint science and technology service supervision groups and 12 specially invited chief expert teams and 3 teams in the province have gone deep into the farmers' side and fields to carry out scientific and technological guidance services
.
At the same time, 3 million mu of chemical fertilizer and pesticide reduction and efficiency improvement actions have been implemented, 1 million mu of full-film covered cultivation technology has been promoted, 5,000 old facilities and sheds have been renovated, more than 2,500 problems in the production and life of farmers and herdsmen have been solved, and efforts have been made to solve the "last mile" problem
of agricultural science and technology promotion.
