Nanyang gears up for farming season

As spring warms the land bringing life to what was once cold and frozen, the land belies its treasures and becomes fertile for farming.

There is an old saying in Nanyang that the whole year depends upon the hard work which begins in spring. And so it is with no wonder, that such a vigorous attitude is shown when it comes to furrowing the soil and planting crops.
