It doesn't rain when farmers farm. Can farmers harvest crops by using well water to fight drought?

Local rural people often say: "It's drought in dog days, so water it in time", which means that it's hot in dog days and it's in the critical period of crop growth, such as corn, soybean, cotton and other crops in Huanghuai area. If there is no rain, this dog days will suffer. Rural people also say that in dog days, "there is a slight drought for three days, a severe drought for ten days, no rain, and smoke in the fields" and "there is no drought in dog days, and the crops are quasi-high-yield". These proverbs circulating in rural areas are an accurate summary of a solar term.

However, in rural fields, pieces of corn fields are different. Under the exposure of the sun, a lot of corn is obviously dehydrated and leaves are curled one by one. What's more, the leaves dry up from the tip of the leaf. It turns out that the lush and thriving corn is about to enter the most critical ear stage.

But the key point is that the poor corn is in sharp contrast with the treatment of other cash crops. We can see by a Chinese herbal medicine field that corn is planted on both sides of the Chinese herbal medicine that has just been watered. Those "polished" corn grows very gratifying, which is in sharp contrast with the thirsty corn in the distance.

In the state of corn, if it is delayed, it will inevitably affect the yield of corn. Why don't farmers actively irrigate farmland when there are wells in the field? According to Uncle Liu in the village, my family doesn't irrigate corn, all the children go out to work, and ten acres of corn are planted at home. At my age, it is very difficult to go to the fields, so it is not realistic for me to irrigate corn.

In addition, most of the corn now has grown to the depth of one person. Irrigation? How do you want us rural people to irrigate? With our existing irrigation measures, the demand for corn irrigation can not be met at all. Young people in the village, in particular, can earn one or two hundred yuan a day when they go to work in the city or go to work. When they come back to fight drought, they will delay their income for one day, which is not worth the candle.

Now rural people's dependence on land is getting lower and lower. When the market of agricultural products is not as good as the money earned by working in the sky, it is not surprising to neglect management. In fact, it's not that everyone doesn't want to irrigate, but that everyone is looking forward to it, hoping that raindrops will float into the sky as soon as possible and moisten the corn in the field to the fullest. Now you can earn hundreds of dollars by planting corn on an acre of land. How much money can you leave except the cost of drought resistance? It's too hot to sit when it's hot. Who wants to take the initiative to irrigate?
