Generally, during the period from early winter to late spring, its planting will not be affected, and autumn grain will be planted on the same land. In other words, planting rape will not delay us from planting major food crops such as corn or rice. Moreover, planting rape in this season is far more economical than planting and harvesting other crops such as broad beans, peas and potatoes at the same time. So in our place, not only the government vigorously promotes it, but also local farmers are willing to plant it, so our rape planting area here is very large.
Planting rapeseed can indeed increase farmers' income, but relying solely on the income from planting rapeseed and selling rapeseed will certainly not help farmers get rid of poverty and become rich. Therefore, if we want to increase farmers' income by planting rape, we must also use other characteristics of rape to achieve it. For example, using rape flowers to engage in sightseeing agriculture, farmhouse music, beekeeping and so on.
You can't grow rapeseed just by selling rapeseed. It is also necessary to plant rape and make rape an ecological industry. If this ecological industry is completed, the income of our farmers will definitely be greatly improved by planting rapeseed.
Rapeseed (rapeseed):
Rape, also known as Brassica napus, is the seed of cruciferous crops. Rape has long pods and full seeds. The oil content of rapeseed is 37.5%-46.3%. According to different types of rape, its oil content is also slightly different. It is one of the main oil crops and honey crops in China, and its seeds are one of the main varieties of oil-pressing raw materials.
Rape is cultivated all over China, which can be divided into winter rape and spring rape. Its planting area accounts for more than 40% of the total area of oil crops in China, and its output accounts for more than 30% of the total oil production in China, ranking first in the world.
