economic development

agricultural economy

Farmers in Yecun township have been mainly engaged in farming, and grain production is the basic industry of Yecun village. The whole Township originally undertook 160 tons of state procurement every year, and the actual sales can be as high as 1200 tons. Before 1970, when Dongwu reservoir was not built, disasters occurred frequently and grain yield was low. After the construction of water conservancy, farmland transformation and scientific farming, the grain output increased year by year, with the highest annual total output of 6800 tons. In 1977, agricultural teams were organized in silingxia, Hetou, Yecun and relatively large guantian villages to carry out variety improvement demonstration and experiment. In 1981, silingxia village sent people to Hainan Island to study and cultivate hybrid varieties. After large-scale promotion of hybrid rice cultivation, the rice yield rose to a higher level. In 1983, the household contract responsibility system was implemented, which further stimulated the enthusiasm of farmers. The total grain output increased year by year. With the adjustment of agricultural structure, agricultural production has shifted from grain production to benefit agriculture. Planting rice, spring corn, silkworm pea, tea, bamboo shoots, sericulture and other crops is the main product of Yecun. In 2003, there were 437.3 hectares of paddy fields, 3732 tons of grain, 188.6 hectares of tea, 151.1 hectares of orchards, 268.1 hectares of broad beans, 13.3 hectares of mulberry gardens, 3.42 million bags of mushrooms and 245.33 hectares of vegetables.
