The weight of the first acre of rice was quickly weighed out, and the scale provided by the seed station was quite accurate.
Six hundred and twenty kilograms!
This yield is almost the same as that produced by intensive cultivation at the seed station.
Note: This calculation uses Harbin's average rice yield of 274 kg per mu in 1979, adding in wetland and improved varieties, to account for the upper limit of the 1973 yield. In 1969, Harbin's average rice yield was only 149 kg per mu.
Xia Juan lit a string of firecrackers right next to the rice field. The educated youth cheered loudly when they learned of such a high yield.
The staff at the Seed Improvement Station were even more excited. They immediately randomly selected the next rice field for harvesting.
The yield of this rice field is slightly lower than the first acre, but it is still 589 kilograms.
Everyone worked hard for four or five days and harvested dozens of acres of rice. The technicians at the seed station finally got the data they wanted.
In this promotion area within the wetland, the average yield per mu of 40 mu is 607 kilograms, the upper value is 635 kilograms, and the lower value is 570 kilograms.
"It's just that the land here is good," Deputy Director Jian, who was half drunk, laughed heartily at the celebration banquet. "The fertile silt in the water, the warm and humid climate, and the natural bird droppings are a blessing."
"But we still need to publicize this special case of yours, Xiao Zhang, do you have any objections?"
How could Zhang Hongcheng dare to have any objection? The breeding farm was a real benefactor to their independent wetland platoon.
What's more, after completing the yield measurement of 40 acres, they are still waiting for the harvester sent by the seed station to help in the field.
The drought continued, but the educated youth in the wetland area were jubilant. The harvest in Qikou Village and Heilingzi Village near the wetland was just a false alarm, but most other places were shrouded in gloom.
The reduction in production due to drought is a foregone conclusion.
But when the wetland educated youth platoon reported their production to the battalion headquarters, Cao Fuhu's mouth was completely wide open.
