The Yellow Earth Foundation and the Clover Seed Company Limited of Hong Kong have jointly carried out an experiment to grow seeds at Huining of Gansu. The result last year was passable. At the beginning of this year, we subsidise farmers who have participated in the project to visit the Clover’s bases at Zhangye and Jiuquan so that they can hear from local people the economic benefits brought about by growing seeds . Through collaboration with the Gansu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, we have increased the number of demonstration points to five this year. With the knowledge learnt from Zhangye and Jiuquan, plus the technical support from Gansu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the farmers have managed to grow stronger crops than expected. When we visit the demonstration points again in September, the harvest is coming to an end.
From what we see, the seeds are better than last year’s in both quantity and quality. Farmers who have not joined this year’s project indicate that they are eager to join next year.
