A vibrant harvest scene is currently unfolding in Yangping Town, Quyang County, Baoding City, Hebei Province. Vast, contiguous fields of corn are lush and green, with villagers busily moving between the rows to harvest and sort the crop, capturing a picture of joyful abundance.
The local area has implemented a "Party Branch + Cooperative + Farmer Household" model, consolidating over a thousand mu of farmland for the large-scale development of the sweet and sticky corn industry. By standardizing high-quality seeds, agricultural supplies, and technical practices, and adopting an order-based sales system, the model effectively addresses challenges faced by small-scale individual farmers and reduces cultivation risks.
Simultaneously, this industry has created a platform for local employment, allowing residents to earn income from three sources: land lease payments, wages from local work, and dividends from the industry's profits. This multi-faceted approach enables villagers to increase their earnings across multiple seasons without having to leave their hometowns.
