Huocheng county seeks agricultural development

The Huocheng county government should make full preparation for spring ploughing and spare no efforts to achieve the goal. This was the plea made by Wang Lizhong, Party chief of the Lli Kazak autonomous prefecture's agricultural bureau, during his visit to Huocheng on March 11.

The county's government should guide and encourage farmers to sow in time and pay attention to pests and disease prevention in order to boost crop yields and benefit the farmers, Wang added.

Wang also visited Huiyuan town in Huocheng, where he inspected several production bases, including production bases of wheat, vegetables, and lavender. While there, he talked with managers of the bases to receive general information of agricultural production.

Wang suggested that the county could apply for national agricultural projects and try to make Huocheng a great agricultural county.
