Recently, all parts of Tujia Autonomous County along the river seized the farming season, actively organized farmers to plough the land, and planted pearl peanuts on a large scale, which set off an upsurge of seed rushing for pearl peanuts, laying the foundation for high yield and bumper harvest this year.

Fifty or sixty workers are scattered in various plots on the hillside, busy ditching, pulling wires, sowing seeds and covering soil. Everyone is enthusiastic and busy everywhere.
"This year, we mainly planted 1 peanut, which is characterized by small, full, balanced and less impurities. The most important thing is that its protein content reaches 49%. This variety is better. Our production plan this year is 360 kilograms per mu. " Li Shibin, chairman of farmers' professional cooperative of agricultural special products in Loess Township, said. ?
Making a small peanut into a big industry requires experts to make suggestions from the perspective of science. Adhering to the concept of "going out, please come in", the cooperative has cooperated with Guizhou Provincial Agriculture Committee, Guizhou Academy of Agricultural Sciences and other departments and units. Guizhou Academy of Agricultural Sciences set up an experimental field along the river to compare which one is more suitable for planting along the river, which can better improve the peanut planting level and the quality of end products. This year, a new peanut variety 1 with exclusive rights was transferred to increase production and investment.
Because of its unique flavor, rich nutrition, good color, green health and other characteristics, Yanhe Pearl Peanut has been certified as a geographical indication product "Tongren Pearl Peanut" and an organic agricultural product "Tongren Pearl Peanut" with three products and one standard. Over the years, it has been vigorously developed as a leading industry by the county party Committee and government along the Yangtze River. This year, the county provided 75,000 kilograms of pearl peanut seeds and technical guidance for free. ?
"This year, we planted 4,600 mu of pearl peanuts in the county, of which members of our cooperative and other retail investors planted 1.400 mu. We adopt the mode of' family production, cooperative management, decentralized management, unified acquisition and unified processing' and develop in the mode of' cooperative+member+company+large household'. " Li Shibin said.
