What are farmers doing 365 days a year?

Although farm work is seasonal, if you want to do farm work, there will be endless farm work in the field. There is an old saying: "If you want to be rich, you should always turn around in the fields", which means that you should be diligent in farming and turn around in the fields more, so that crops can be taken care of and food can be sold more. Many people think it's easy for farmers to farm land, and they have a rest for half a year. Even so, they actually have no time to rest, depending on whether you are diligent or lazy.

Let us take rice as an example. Generally, to plant rice, it is necessary to "plant rice seedlings" when opening a village. The temperature in the northeast is not enough. Generally, rice seedlings are cultivated in the greenhouse first, and then planted in the ground manually or mechanically when the temperature is suitable. Transplanting in Northeast China usually begins in May and June, and it needs watering, fertilization, pest control, pesticide spraying and weeding in the process of rice growth. If you want to do farm work, you can basically work in the fields every day, and there is no actual seasonal division.

Let's talk about the planting period of soybeans in Northeast China. The planting time of soybeans in Northeast China is generally from the end of April to the middle of May, which is advanced or postponed according to different regions. In the early years, farming relied on manpower, but in recent years, planting quality is not mentioned, mainly because of high planting efficiency. After planting soybeans, the work in the field will come to an end temporarily, and after more than ten days of bean seedlings come out, weeding and spraying pesticides will begin. Because of rain erosion and other reasons, the ridge of soybean will collapse, so one side of the ridge should be maintained before the bean seedlings grow.

Generally, our soybeans will mature around September, and will be harvested gradually in 10. Every year, with the change of solar terms, the date will be postponed or advanced. When the beans are harvested, some extra loose beans will be left. In short, if you want to do farm work, you can be busy 365 days a year in our local area.
