[交流] 【Pure water】Farmers implement anti-drought measures

The city of Handan in Hebei Province is one of the main planting areas of wheat in the country. The temperature is still low in the region but as the severe drought continues, locals are making do with what they can to save their plants.

In Guangping County in Handan, farmers are learning how to keep the soil's humidity constant. They use special tools to loosen the soil to prevent it from hardening during the drought. Locals say with this method, no plant will die due to the fast water evaporation in the soil, even when there's no irrigation for half a month.

A famer said, "It will work after the ground is scratched to two or three centimeters deep. The scratch should be even."

Another way to keep the humidity is to press down on the soil to fill the cracks caused by drought, then the water from underground can get up for the wheat's growth.

Zhao Xianfeng, Vice Mayor of Handan city, Hebei Province, said, "These methods are very necessary and economical. We will spend 15 to 20 days loosening all the farmland in the city, which will benefit the wheat's yielding."

The skills to combat drought were taught to farmers several years ago, but nowadays the local government has to persuade them to carry out the techniques.

Diao Dezhong, Official of Xibao village, Handan city, said, "The men are working out in Beijing, Tianjin, Taiyuan, while the women are working in the nearby feed factory. "

Considering the nearly one thousand yuan yearly income from farming, many villagers are choosing to find work in other cities, causing labor shortages on farms.

Bao Changqing, Chief of Agricultural Bureau of Handan city, said, "How to encourage the farmers to join in the fight against drought and the wheat saving is a very crucial issue."

Bao told us that currently the Handan government has sent 1,500 agro-technicians to various farms to help harvest crops. Should crops begin to fail, 18 million yuan is set aside to help save wheat.
