China's bumper harvest: Jilin's colors painted on the black soil

In the golden autumn season, the rice in Jilin Province is fragrant in the vast black soil of Northeast China. The golden rice ears are bright and moving under the sunlight of autumn, and the "auspicious light" of the harvest has spread all over the banks of the Songhua River.

"This year, a bumper grain harvest is a foregone conclusion. According to agricultural situation dispatch and experts' multi-point yield measurements, the total grain output is predicted to be around 85 billion jin!" On September 27, Li Deming, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Jilin Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said in an interview that at present, Jilin Province's total grain output and yield per unit area are expected to set a new historical record, and contribute a golden "Jilin quality" to China's harvest.

"This year's rice planting area is 4,000 mu, and the estimated output is 4.6 million jin. Compared with last year, the increase is 5%-10%." A farm manager in Wanchang Town told reporters that this year's temperature is extremely favorable for rice growth. The rice grown is golden in color, with full grains, 130 to 150 grains per ear, and weighs one or two liang.

This year, the rice planting area in Yanji City is 31,600 mu. According to Mo Feng, director of the Yanji Agricultural Machinery Management Station, the entire process from transplanting to harvesting can be mechanized.
