Looking at China: Electricity Ensuring Agricultural Spring Farming Production

　　With the rise of temperature, the early rice transplanting work in southern China is gradually unfolding. On April 14th, in Xinzhuang Village, Meitang Town, Yongxiu County, Jiangxi Province, rice fields crisscrossed with tender green seedlings. The rice transplanter is bustling back and forth in the paddy field, creating a bustling scene.

　　Jiang Fengwen, a major grain grower, stood on the ridge to check the condition of the rice fields. He contracted 170 acres of rice fields and plans to complete the transplantation within two days.

　　At present, it is a crucial season for spring plowing, and the adequacy of irrigation water directly affects the growth and yield of rice. State Grid Jiangxi Zhelin Hydropower Plant maintains communication and linkage with local water conservancy departments, scientifically allocates water resources, supports agricultural production in irrigation areas, and maximizes the comprehensive benefits of the reservoir. Since March, based on the actual demand for spring farming and irrigation, the water diversion irrigation gates of Zhelin Reservoir have been opened to ensure the water replenishment demand for spring irrigation downstream of Xiuhe River, and 320000 acres of farmland have been effectively irrigated.

　　Along the Zhelin Irrigation Area, you can see that the water quality of the irrigation channels is clear and the water volume is sufficient. Looking at the vibrant seedlings, Jiang Fengwen was full of confidence, as if he had seen the scene of a bountiful harvest.

　　"My rice field is mechanized throughout the entire process of seedling cultivation, cultivation, fertilization, and harvesting. Last year, the grain yield was over 1200 kilograms per mu, and this year the planting area has been expanded. "With good water quality, sufficient water supply, and scientific management, Jiang Fengwen has more confidence in grain cultivation. (YangMingmin GaoYuan)
