随州素有“湖北粮仓”之称,水稻在全市的粮食生产中占有7成的比例。然而,自1999年至2001年,连续3年遭遇特大旱灾,水稻连年减产,一些地方甚至是颗粒无收。2001年秋收后,我到农村采访,所接触到的农民朋友和基层干部,都谈到了旱灾对“水稻农业”的冲击:有的干部嘴上喊调整,心里却? Suizhou known as “Hubei granary,” said the rice in the city’s food production accounted for 70% of the proportion. However, from 1999 to 2001, for three years in a row, the severe drought hit rice year after year and in some areas even crop failure. After the autumn harvest of 2001, I went to the rural area to interview the peasant friends and the grassroots cadres who spoke about the impact of the drought on “rice agriculture.”
