On April 14, the agricultural mechanics drove a rice transplanter to plant early-season rice seedlings in the fields of Dajiangkou Village, Baiyashi Town, Dong'an County. Local farmers now have seized the sunny weather to step up transplanting seedlings, laying solid foundation for a bumper harvest. This year, the county authority plans to sow 17,667 hectares of early-season rice seedlings, which will be transplanted before the end of April. (Photo/Cai Xiaoping and Huang Zhijiao)
