Luntai, Xinjiang: Tens of thousands of acres of cotton are waiting to be harvested, and cotton farmers are happy to calculate their income
In October of the golden autumn, nearly 10,000 acres of cotton in Dihara Village, Luntai Town, Luntai County began to be spun on a large scale, looking like a white ocean.
Tursun Turdi is a large cotton grower in Dihara Village. It has long-term contracted farmland to grow cotton. In recent years, cotton planting has maintained a scale of 300 acres. He has extensive experience in cotton cultivation and is also happy to share his planting experience.
“Three years ago, my cotton was picked manually, which was time-consuming, expensive, and not cost-effective. In 2019, I started using cotton pickers to pick, which is more efficient and cost-saving.” According to Tursun Tur Field introduction: “Not only the picking process, but also land preparation, sowing, plant protection and other aspects have been mechanized. We have also strengthened cotton field management by adopting technical measures such as water and fertilizer management, appropriate period topping, and unified control of pests and diseases. Our cotton yield per mu has improved. It has been greatly improved and the quality has also improved.”
“It is supposed to be the harvesting period now, but due to the epidemic prevention and control situation, I can’t go out yet. I have calculated the accounts carefully at home. Last year, I could produce 350 kilograms of machine-picked cotton per mu. This year, the cotton fields were watered due to watering. There is insufficient water. If each mu of land is calculated as 330 kilograms, 300 acres can produce an average of 99,000 kilograms. According to the current market, if machine-picked cotton is calculated at 6.2 yuan per kilogram, the income will be around 600,000 yuan this year.” Thinking of this, Turxun ·Turdi is very happy and has already contacted the cotton picker.
It is understood that 9,761 acres of cotton will be planted in Dihara Village in 2022, and 2,150 acres have been picked as of October 16, with a picking completion rate of 22.03%.
“At present, we will properly coordinate the relationship between epidemic prevention and control and cotton harvesting, promote cotton harvesting as soon as possible, and ensure that most of the harvesting tasks are completed by the end of October.” Ba, secretary of the Dihara Village Party Branch and director of the village committee Tur Erken said: “In the next step, we will continue to work hard on plowing the land for sowing, irrigating and removing pests, and increasing the area per acre, so as to continuously increase the cotton output value and benefit more cotton farmers.”
