  Photos taken on Feb. 21 show aerial views of flower nurseries in Fushou Village of Yuxi Town in Yizhang County. Covering an area of over 1,000 mu (about 66.7 hectares), these nurseries produce more than 20 species of seedlings, such as Chinese yew and tulip, with an annual output value of over 10 million yuan.

  In recent years, the town has encouraged and instructed farmers to transfer and mortgage their land-use rights, or to turn the rights into shares in agricultural enterprises and specialized farmer cooperatives.

  So far there are 52 specialized farmer cooperatives and 136 family farms, which help enrich 8,241 farmers.
