What are the arrangements for farming activities on the fourth coldest day of the twelfth lunar month in 2018?

Farming arrangements during the Great Cold <br /> During the Great Cold, farming is slack across the country. However, due to the cold weather, the northern regions should pay attention to strengthening the cold and frost protection of livestock; as soon as the electricity comes, they should start accumulating fertilizer and composting in preparation for the spring. The southern region must continue to strengthen field management of wheat and other crops. According to meteorological data, Minor Cold and Major Cold are the periods with the least rainfall in the year. During the severe cold season of the year, rainfall in most areas of South China is only 5 to 10 mm, and in the northwestern plateau and mountainous areas it is usually only 1 to 5 mm. In winter in South China, the water demand of overwintering crops is relatively small during this period, and the contradiction between water supply and demand in farmland is not obvious. However, “Don’t blame the weather, rain or snow when it’s cold, for it will delay next year’s wheat harvest.” In the case of scarce rain and snow, timely irrigation according to different farming habits and conditions in different places is of great benefit to the growth of wheat crops. In addition, people from all over the country also use the changes in the Great Cold climate to predict the rainfall and food abundance in the coming year so that they can arrange farming activities early.
Agricultural activities during the Great Cold <br /> The Lesser Cold and the Greater Cold are the periods of the year with the least rainfall. Different regions have different farming habits and conditions. Timely irrigation is undoubtedly beneficial to the growth of early spring crops.
For some crops, appropriate low temperatures are required during a certain growing period. In agricultural production, we must master the laws of changes in temperature, plant crops rationally, and avoid unnecessary losses. For example, before introducing new crop varieties, we must have a clear understanding of the terrain, surrounding environment, temperature, precipitation, humidity, etc. of the planting area, and conduct sufficient research and demonstration on whether the introduced varieties are suitable for the local meteorological environment.
During the Great Cold period, the weather is cold and the humidity is low. Plants have stopped growing and are particularly dry. Pay special attention to fire safety when using fires in the wild or for heating at home, and beware of fires.
During the Great Cold season, there is still very little farm work to do everywhere. In northern China, people are busy accumulating manure and making compost in preparation for the spring, or strengthening the protection of livestock against cold and frost.
The southern region is still strengthening field management of wheat and other crops. In the Lingnan area of ​​Guangdong, there is a custom of catching field mice together during the Great Cold. Because the crops have been harvested at this time, many vole nests that are usually invisible have become visible, and the Great Cold has become an important opportunity for local voles in Lingnan to be eliminated.
In addition, people from all over the country also use the changes in the Great Cold climate to predict the rainfall and food abundance in the coming year, so as to arrange farming activities early. For example, "If it rains during the Great Cold, there will be heavy rain in January, February and March" (Guangxi), "If the three white things appear during the Great Cold, the farmers will have enough food and clothing" (Jiangxi), "If the Great Cold is not cold, people and horses will be uneasy" (Fujian), "White snow during the Great Cold means a good harvest" (Guizhou), and "No wind during the Great Cold means drought."
