Farmers bring in good millet crop

Farmers in Jingxian county of Hengshui, Hebei province, about 250 kilometers south of Beijing, have been busy harvesting their millet crop planted on more than 600 hectares.

Liu Shulin, a grower in Houliumingfu town, planted the millet on 40 hectares this year.

"The millet is growing well this year because there is abundant rain," Liu said, adding that he hopes to harvest 350 kilograms of millet per mu and earn about 1,700 yuan ($245).
