In recent days, Baihu Farm in Lujiang County, Hefei City, has already harvested more than 100,000 mu (about 6,667 hectares) of wheat and stored all the seeds in warehouses. With the transplanting task of nearly 140,000 mu (about 9,333 hectares) of rice about to complete, summer paddy field management work is now in full swing. Across the farm, farmers are busy balancing the number of seedlings to create a favorable planting pattern, applying fetilizer for tillering, and spreading herbicides, which will lay a solid foundation for a bumper harvest in Autumn.
