Over the past few days, tourists have been wandering in the sea of flowers, taking pictures and checking in, and enjoying the good time of spring. "A few days ago, a friend passed by here and took a video, and the rape flowers all over the mountains are particularly spectacular." Ms. Li, a tourist who came from the city, said, "There are such treasure fields hidden in the countryside, and it is really worth the trip." ”

In the depths of the sea of flowers, Zhu Yingsheng, a large planter in Zhachuan Village, Qianxi Township, is checking the growth of rape flowers. Looking at the rape flowers that are growing happily, he said with a smile, "The fields used to be bare in winter, but now they are planted with rape flowers, not only the idle fields are used, but tourists are also coming!"

It is understood that this year, Zhu Yingsheng planted a total of 160 acres of rapeseed flowers, and it is expected that each mu can produce 0-0 kg of rapeseed. "I planted rape flowers after harvesting late rice last year, which can attract tourists during the flowering period, and rapeseed can be squeezed and sold for money." Zhu Yingsheng told reporters that after the planting cycle of rape flowers is over, he will change the field to high-quality rice. This model of "rice-oil rotation" not only improves the output efficiency of farmland, but also opens up a new channel for local farmers to increase their income.

In Ganxi Township, it is not uncommon for farmers like Zhu Yingsheng to adopt the "rice-oil" rotation model. In the past, under the traditional double-cropping rice cultivation model, the farmland would be idle for several months after the autumn harvest each year. And now, Ganxi Township through the "rice oil" rotation mode, every year in 5 months rape into the full flowering period to attract tourists, 0 months after the harvest of rapeseed immediately after the land preparation and transplanting, to achieve the "spring flowers, summer harvest, autumn threshing" cycle, not only effectively make up for the farmland planting "window period", so that the "winter idle field" into a "harvest field", truly realize "one place for multiple purposes, one place for more harvest", but also drive the development of rural tourism. At the same time, after rapeseed and rape are harvested, the straw is crushed and returned directly to the field, which can increase the content of soil organic matter and lay the foundation for the next season of rice planting.

In recent years, Qianxi Township has vigorously promoted the planting model of "rice-oil rotation", and subsidized farmers according to the planting area through the two-wheel drive of "policy-driven + technology empowerment", fully mobilized the enthusiasm of farmers for planting, and realized agricultural efficiency and farmers' income. At the same time, a special class for agricultural technology services was set up to provide technical guidance from seedling, transplanting to pest control, promote new varieties and technologies of rape flowers, and provide supporting services such as meteorological early warning and agricultural insurance for farmers, so as to ensure a bumper harvest of rape flowers in an all-round way.

Nowadays, the rapeseed industry chain in Qianxi Township is also constantly extending, and the villagers have established rapeseed oil processing workshops to squeeze high-quality rapeseed oil and increase employment and income at their doorsteps. The golden rape flowers are blooming into the "flowers of getting rich" for the villagers, injecting vigorous vitality into rural revitalization. "Next, we will increase our promotion efforts, do a good job in planting technical guidance, rely on the rape flower industry to drive the income of villagers, create characteristic industries of agriculture, culture and tourism, and help rural revitalization." The relevant person in charge of Ganxi Township said.
