The fertile land of Henan, nourished by the Yellow River, holds the roots and soul of Central China's farming heritage. This region, which has nurtured millennia of agricultural civilization, boasts rich soil and abundant fertility, serving as the cornerstone of the nation's grain production. In early spring, the fields of Henan come alive with the vitality of spring plowing.

In the outskirts of Tanghe County, Nanyang, endless stretches of wheat fields blanket the fertile wilderness with green. Veteran farmer Lao Qiao walks through his fields under the warm sun. Over 3,000 mu of fertile land managed by his family, after years of reclamation and consolidation, now lies fully utilized without an inch wasted. The secret to the bounty of this fertile land lies in the ingenuity of scientific cultivation: the Beidou-guided seeder ensures precision sowing, while agricultural experts provide on-site guidance for fertilization and irrigation management.

Spring plowing on the fertile plains of Central China is no longer what it used to be. Electric vehicles shuttle between the ridges, tillers churn the fertile soil in the fields, and drones glide over wheat crops to carry out pest control. The integration of agricultural machinery and technology has made spring plowing more efficient. Tanghe County has prepared agricultural supplies and allocated special funds to carefully nurture this fertile land. More than 12,000 agricultural machines are operating in the fields, sowing the hope of spring plowing into the soft, fertile soil.

The people of Henan understand, cherish, and nurture the land, ensuring that its fertility continues to thrive. Across the province, agricultural technicians provide region-specific guidance and manage wheat seedlings according to their needs, fully unlocking the potential of the fertile soil and making spring plowing more stable.

When the Central Plains thrive, the nation is sustained. On the fertile land of Henan, the call for spring plowing has sounded. Farmers labor in the fields, agricultural machinery shuttles across the farmland, and technology empowers cultivation. Every effort is building momentum for a bumper summer harvest.
