Why rush to harvest and sow when farming is busy?

The reason why we have to compete for crops and seeds during the busy farming season is that we are afraid of rain. If you don't dry it when you harvest it, you can't finish planting it when you plant it, which will drag down the progress.

If it is the main wheat producing area in the north, the busy farming season is divided into two stages: summer sowing and summer harvest are between Xiaoman and Mang in the 24 solar terms, that is, from the end of May to the beginning of June in the solar calendar. Autumn harvest is planted between the Millennium and the autumnal equinox in the twenty-four solar terms, that is, in the middle and late September of the solar calendar. The busy farming season in south China is usually around July-165438+10.

Main information:

Summer is the rainy season. The wheat we cut can't absorb rain. We should look at the weather before planting crops. If the weather is fine in recent days, then this is the best time to cut wheat, because the cut wheat needs to be aired for two days before it can be stored.

Drying rice is also very particular. Turn the rice every few hours to ensure that every grain of rice can be evenly basked in the sun. In the evening, you should harvest rice. At this time, it is children's turn to play. There is a special pusher in the countryside to push the rice grains together and pile them up first.

Then put it in a snakeskin bag with a dustpan (we call it snakeskin bag there, I don't know what readers call it). I usually push most snakeskin bags by hand first, then pack them with a dustpan, tie them up with nylon ropes when they are full, and then move them into the granary.
