Commune peasants at Chingfend Ridge, Lu-an County, have surplus grain to sell to the state now that water is piped up the hilly terrain.  Before liberation, the place was barren, and even chickens perished due to the long dry spells.

Self sufficient in grain since 1971, the commune has made available to the state’s markets at least 2.5 million kg. of grain every year.

Chinchai’s Shuangshih Commune goes all out to transform its hills into terraced fields.
