There is no major fluctuation in the area of ​​spring sowing in Binzhou, Shandong this spring

According to a survey conducted by the Agricultural Survey Team of the Bureau of Statistics of Binzhou City in Shandong Province, the total area of ​​spring sowing in the city has increased this year to 2.41 million mu, of which 1.691 million mu are spring sown in the city, which is 0.3% lower than the 1.963 million mu of spring cotton sowing area last year.

The staff of the Agricultural Development Team analyzed that due to the large fluctuation in cotton prices last year, the enthusiasm of some farmers for cotton planting this year was slightly affected, but many farmers have seen the market price of agricultural products “low last year and high this year” for many years. The law did not significantly reduce the amount of cotton planted. In addition, Binzhou City has a cotton tradition, and it has always been planted with cotton in spring sowing, especially in Wuxian and Zhanhua, both counties are located in northwestern Shandong and have more saline and alkaline land, which is suitable for cotton cultivation. The area of ​​cotton in Wubian and Zhanhua counties in the main cotton producing county of Binzhou City this year has remained stable. Although the area of ​​cotton in the city has decreased slightly compared to the previous year, there has been no major fluctuation, and the planting area of ​​summer sowing cotton is expected to increase. This is due to the fact that There is a large amount of desolate lands in the north. As the price of seed cotton rises month by month, it is expected that farmers will increase their input on the desolate lands, reclaim some of the desolate land, and plant summer sowing cotton to increase income.
