? In 214, Xinzhou was named as "Capital of Coarse Grains in China" by China Grain Industry Association, with more than 14 geographical indications for agricultural products certification.
? Xinzhou is located in the north-central part of Shanxi, only 8 kilometers away from Taiyuan, the provincial capital. The famous battle of Xinkou was fought in Xinkou, Xinfu District. Xinzhou belongs to 14 counties and districts, and it is also the largest prefecture-level city in Shanxi, and it crosses the east and west sides of Shanxi, bordering Shaanxi Province in the west and Hebei Province in the east, and there are Buddhist holy places Wutai Mountain in it, so it is easy to understand that it must be a very high altitude area, and it is this feature that makes Xinzhou have very good conditions to grow all kinds of small miscellaneous grains.
Xinzhou is known as the capital of miscellaneous grains, mainly because of its three advantages, namely, cereals, beans, fresh corn and potatoes.
cereals refer to millet, naked oats and quinoa. Millet refers to millet and millet. It is known that because of its high altitude, more dry fields, more hills and mountains and less rainfall, the millet produced here is golden and full, and it is also one of the best areas for planting millet, mainly including Jingu No.21, Zhangzagu No.3, No.6, No.1 and No.13. The millet in Shenchi County and Pianguan County is very famous, so the local oil cake is also very famous. Quinoa was introduced to Jingle County in 212. This absolute plateau crop took root and blossomed here, and the trial planting was successful. In 213, it was named as "the hometown of quinoa in China". Since its planting, its quality is incomparable to other regions.
beans refer to red kidney beans, broad beans, peas, etc. Similarly, because of higher terrain, more dry days and more hills, more beans are planted here. In particular, the red kidney bean in kelan county has formed a planting system, with high quality, mainly for export, and its downstream industrial chain has also been completed, which is the main crop for farmers to get rich.
Fresh corn is mainly located in Xinfu District and Dingxiang County, where the land is flat and the watering is convenient. Moreover, the planting area of fresh corn in Shanxi Province is very large, and the processing facilities are also very complete. After processing, it is stored in vacuum and convenient to sell, which has become the main agricultural industry in the local area.
Potatoes refer to potatoes and sweet potatoes. Potatoes are mainly produced in Shenchi, Wuzhai, Pianguan, Jingle and Kelan in west eight County, where the land is vast, the population is sparse, the mountains are mostly, and the sandy soil is abundant, which is very suitable for potato planting, and the yield is high and the quality is good. Potatoes here are often sold all over the province and around Shaanxi and Hebei. In recent years, with the change of industrial structure, the potato industry has become specialized and has formed a scale for high-standard potato planting.
In addition to these four kinds of minor cereals, other minor cereals in Xinzhou are also relatively comprehensive, such as flax planting and yellow mustard planting, which are the most in this province, and the quality is also high in the whole country. The oil yield of flax in Shenchi is above 35%, and the oil extraction technology is also unusual. The unsaturated fatty acids in the oil can account for more than 6%, so it is said to buy oil to Shenchi. At the same time, there are also some castor and pockmarked plants.
