Farmers happy, but worried

XI'AN: Farmers in Shaanxi province, one of the country's major wheat and maize production areas, are both happy and worried following the summer harvest.

"We had a very good harvest. My 6.7 hectares of farmland has given me an extra income of 2,400 yuan ($350), compared with the previous year because the central government had set a minimum purchase price for wheat early this year," Liu Chunqiang from the village of Poliu, Xianyang city, said.

But he is also worried - fertilizer prices are going up.
