In our country, there has been a history of growing food for thousands of years, and as a traditional agricultural country, our country has been committed to the development of science and technology in recent years, so we will also use more advanced planting techniques when planting crops.
Previously, there has always been such a sentence on the Internet that has been widely circulated, that is, as long as it is in our country, what is poisonous is used as medicinal materials, and what is not poisonous is used as ingredients, and what cannot be turned into ingredients and medicinal materials is used as building materials.
To put it simply, in our country, nothing is useless, and in today's international community, each country has unique geographical characteristics, so each country has one or more unique animals and plants.
A few decades ago, because our country's economic development was not good, and the masses in many areas could not solve the problem of food and clothing, they planted a lot of grain crops with high yields and full supply.
However, with the progress of society, everyone's requirements for food are getting higher and higher, and the crops that were once used as "life-saving food" have gradually faded out of people's sight.
So, let's take a look at what these crops are, and for what reasons are they eliminated by society?
Millet was once praised by the masses as a "top satiety artifact", and has a history of thousands of years of sowing in our country, but now it has been replaced by corn, and in real life, it is no longer common or even unseen.
The fruit of this crop was called sac fruit, and it was very popular at the time, because it was produced once a year, so there was no need to be afraid of natural disasters, and the adaptability of the rice was still very strong.
Later, everyone discovered the benefits of millet seeds, and began to vigorously promote them, and soon the millet spread all over the country, mainly because the millet not only allows farmers to eat well, but also has a very high nutritional value.
Cyst fruit contains a lot of nutrients, after eating it has great benefits for the body, although it does not look beautiful, even a little like chicken feet, but after eating, you will not feel hungry all afternoon.
Perhaps because the grain is more filling than other crops, it is deeply loved by farmers, and it is a relatively rare crop in the era of scarcity of materials.
According to the normal situation, such a good crop should be continued, but on the contrary, the millet not only did not continue, but even many young people do not talk about this crop now.
This is because the yield of millet is too small, compared to the wheat and corn that we often see now, the yield of millet is less than half, and in addition, the economic development of our country has improved, and the masses have not been unable to eat.
Without the threat of starvation, people will naturally pick their mouths a little, so gradually the rice is replaced, and now it is basically impossible to see a large area of rice grain.
Speaking of low yields, there is another food crop that is the same as millet rice, and that is wild rice.
Attentive friends will find that the name of the place at the end of the previous paragraph and the beginning of the new paragraph is different, in fact, these two things are the same kind, and wild rice is also called carved in some areas.
This crop has been cultivated in our country for 3,000 years, but in the end it was "forced" to give way to corn and wheat.
Only the royal relatives and nobles can eat it, and in the poems written by many scholars, this kind of rice has appeared, praising its deliciousness, but the wild rice is only an edible part, and the overall plant name is called wild grass.
Wild rice is the fruit that falls off when it matures, and it is widely distributed in the southern part of our country, because the southern region has more precipitation than the northern region, and there are many swamps and puddles in the fields.
Mushrooms are very fond of living in this kind of place, so it has a history of thousands of years, and it is inextricably related to the food culture of the people at that time.
Maybe everyone doesn't have a deep impression of wild rice, but everyone should have heard that these two things seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact they belong to the brothers of the "same mother".
In the process of growing, a smut fungus is needed to parasitize the mushroom, once it is contaminated with this fungus, the mushroom will no longer grow, and the mushroom will not mature, but the stem of the mushroom will begin to enlarge, and finally form the mushroom.
Therefore, as the white rice became more and more popular, almost all the wild herbs were infected, so the wild rice fell from the status of the staple food again and again, and finally slowly left people's sight.
When it comes to the northwest region of our country, I believe the first thing that comes to mind is the harsh climate of the desert area, where few plants can grow.
However, the devil ginger is a kind of devil ginger, which is also known as artichoke, which is deeply loved by the masses in the northwest region, because this plant can effectively play a role in wind prevention and sand fixation.
In addition, because the artichoke is a type of Asteraceae, it can produce very beautiful yellow flowers during its growth, bringing a bright color to the desert.
It is worth noting that the growth rate of artichoke is very fast, so when entering an unfamiliar environment, there will be no "unadaptable" state, after all, it was also a crop that was flooded abroad.
It is reported that every year, foreign countries have to spend a lot of money to clean up the artichoke, which is because the artichoke has a very strong ability to adapt to the environment, which can withstand both heat and cold, and is the "baby" in the eyes of the people in the northwest.
In addition, artichoke is a necessary material used by many poor families to pickle pickles, as long as its rhizome is not completely dug out, it can grow a new crop next year, not only that, it also has a super high yield.
Therefore, in the event of a natural disaster, if the northern region wants to survive the winter smoothly, it is to pair artichoke with sorghum rice, because the taste of artichoke is relatively crisp and refreshing, so it is a better meal.
Although there are many advantages of artichoke, but in the same way, it also has inevitable disadvantages, as we said earlier, it has the characteristics of "weeds are not burned out, and the spring breeze blows and grows", as long as a little rhizome is left, you can regrow a piece of artichoke.
This benefit is naturally good in times of drought, but with the development of modern agriculture, we do not need such a tenacious crop, and in the current planting strategy, artichok is considered a very diffuse crop.
It has had a great impact on agriculture, a lot of land is covered by the rhizomes of artichokes, and it is impossible to grow other crops, and everyone's living conditions are now better, so the demand for pickles has also decreased.
Slowly, the artichoke also faded out of everyone's sight, although there are still areas where ginger is grown, but the scale and area have been significantly reduced.
Next, let's take a look at the last crop that was eliminated by our country, which is known as the treasure of the hearts and minds of Americans.
In our country, sorghum used to be the life-saving food in the northern region, but with the progress of our country's social development, sorghum has gradually been replaced by other grains.
However, we need to pay attention to the fact that sorghum is not very competitive in our country's market now, of course, this is only in our country, and it does not mean that it is not competitive internationally.
As we mentioned earlier, sorghum is very popular in the United States, and in the United States, sorghum is one of the main food crops, and it is still a very common crop in the region.
In addition, although our country does not grow sorghum anymore, we do import sorghum grown in the United States and are one of their main buyers, and it is reported that our country imported nearly 5 million tons of sorghum from the United States in 2017.
Some people may wonder why we import sorghum.
This is because sorghum plays a pivotal role in the brewing industry, and when making livestock feed, sorghum can effectively replace materials such as corn and wheat, after all, sorghum is very cheap.
In addition, sorghum itself is a bioenergy crop, which can be made into methanol, ethanol and other energy sources to replace the consumption of non-renewable resources.
The reason why sorghum will fade out of everyone's sight is mainly because sorghum is a coarse grain, which is not good in taste.
In addition, although sorghum can be used to make wine, but in daily life, the economic value brought by sorghum is not high, in the original backward era, every household still has a brush, broom and so on made of sorghum.
But now this kind of thing is time-consuming and laborious to make, and the economic value is not high, so this is one of the reasons why the area under sorghum is now smaller.
The most important thing is that although sorghum has a strong ability to adapt to the environment, it is not very high in terms of yield, and it is not a crop that is fully ripe at one time, and it is relatively troublesome to harvest it in batches.
At present, in rural areas, most of the crops planted are field crops, because such crops basically do not need to be planted or harvested manually, and all of them are harvested by mechanized planting, which is much more convenient than before.
In fact, we can see from the changes in the cultivation of crops that with the progress of society, everyone has begun to pay attention to economic benefits, rather than just to fill their stomachs.
Therefore, it is reasonable that the above crops may be eliminated, after all, we also have to catch up with the pace of the times.
Today, crops that were once called "life-saving food" are once again on the table, but this time, everyone is not looking to fill their stomachs, but to pursue green health. **10,000 Fans Incentive Plan
