The photos taken on July 7 show villagers busy picking watermelons and loading them into trucks at the watermelon planting base of the Baokou Village Branch Farm in Xiangyindu Town, Yongxing County, Chenzhou City.

 

In 2022, Baokou Village established a branch farm with a 1,000-mu (about 66.67 hectares) tobacco and rice rotation base and a 1,000-mu (about 66.67 hectares) bingtang orange base, which generated a collective income of more than 500,000 yuan that year.
 
This year, the village has vigorously developed the flue-cured tobacco industry, and planted watermelons, peppers, and other crops in the bingtang orange base. It is expected that the village’s collective economic income will exceed 1 million yuan this year.
