Village's pastures provide economic windfall

As spring temperatures continue to rise, timothy grass is sprouting in the pastures of Lizhu, a village in Minxian county, Gansu province, and the village's farmers welcome the best period for selling grass.

Workers are busy in a Fengmei Forage Planting Cooperative plant ing high-quality, dried timothy grass, packing it in boxes and delivering it to places in China and abroad.

Lizhu is famous for the high-quality of its timothy grass, but even several years ago, villagers couldn't imagine that they could promote their products to overseas markets as high-grade fodder for race horses and pets.
