Recently, the fresh corn harvest in Damanghe, Yangjinzhuang Town, has arrived. The continuous cornfields are lush and full of plump ears, with rows of corn stalks standing tall and upright, plump corn ears wrapped in layer upon layer of green husks, kernels firm and bright in color, and the fields are filled with the joy of harvest.
In recent years, Yangjinzhuang Town has relied on its local agricultural resource advantages, deeply cultivated specialty agricultural products, and with Damanghe Village as the core, vigorously developed high-quality fresh corn planting. At present, Damanghe fresh corn has formed a large-scale planting pattern of 500 mu of core planting in Damanghe Village and 500 mu of radiation-driven planting by surrounding farmers, with a total planting area of 1,000 mu. It adopts a model of individual planting plus contiguous farmer planting, adjusting measures to local conditions and applying scientific management. Relying on excellent varieties and refined field management, this year's corn yield is stable and the quality is excellent, with a per-mu yield of up to 1,800 jin.
In terms of variety cultivation, Damanghe fresh corn is rich in categories and distinctive in features, selecting high-quality specialty varieties such as Feihua, 336 sweet-waxy corn, and black corn. Each type of corn has its own characteristics and excellent taste, combining a unique flavor of soft glutinousness and delicate texture with clear sweetness and abundant juice. It is sweet and fragrant without being greasy, suitable for all ages. With its excellent taste and fine quality, it is widely favored by the public and market consumers, and its reputation continues to spread.
During the harvest season, harvesting, processing, preservation, and sales are connected in an orderly manner, making every effort to open up the production and sales chain of agricultural products. Part of the mature fresh corn is freshly picked and delivered directly to the market, achieving spot direct delivery and fresh launch; another part is uniformly steamed and processed, then sent to cold storage for low-temperature freshness locking and constant-temperature storage. The cold-chain preservation model effectively locks in the original flavor of the corn, breaks seasonal restrictions, realizes autumn production and winter sales, and allows people to taste the fresh sweetness of autumn even in the cold winter, greatly enhancing the added value of agricultural products.
Relying on stable yield, excellent appearance, and a mature production and sales system, the market channels for Damanghe fresh corn continue to expand.
