In early March when most farmers in Anlan village in East China's Shandong province had just started preparing their farmland for sowing seeds, An Liang, a farmer of the town was ready to harvest his first fortune.
The 36-year-old harvested 400,000 Chinese cabbages from his 100 greenhouses in late March, bringing in a fortune of more than 2 million yuan (about $307,000).
An planted a kind of melon on the land in April. A company based in Hainan has signed a contract with An to buy all of the melons he grows at a favorable price.
