It is currently the peak season for harvesting and marketing fresh waxy corn. In the 30-mu waxy corn field in Dongcigou Village, Shangbei Town, the corn ears are plump and growing well, and farmers are seizing the farming season to pick and sort the crop, creating a busy harvest scene in the fields.

It is understood that this waxy corn planting base covers a total of 30 mu and focuses on fresh waxy corn. After maturity, the entire harvest is sold as fresh produce to local wholesale markets. Through scientific field management, this year's waxy corn yield is considerable, with output reaching about 3,000 jin per mu and output value per mu around 1,500 yuan, bringing tangible economic benefits to growers.

Compared with traditional grain crops, fresh waxy corn has strong market demand, quick returns, and stable profits. After harvesting, the fresh corn is transferred to wholesale markets as soon as possible, eliminating unnecessary intermediate links and ensuring smooth sales, so there is no need to worry about unsold agricultural products.

This small waxy corn has revitalized land resources and broadened the path for farmers to increase income. In recent years, Dongcigou Village has based its efforts on local land conditions, actively adjusted the agricultural planting structure, guided farmers to develop high-efficiency cash crops, changed the previous single planting model, and developed a specialty planting industry, using a small crop to leverage large returns and injecting vitality into the revitalization of rural industries.
