Basic introduction of Wuyuan wheat

Wuyuan wheat is a specialty of Wuyuan County, Bayannur, Inner Mongolia. Wuyuan County is located in the world-famous Hetao Plain of the "800 mile Hetao Rice Grain River". It has a long history of 2400 years and a profound cultural heritage. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, it was named Wuyuan County after Jiuyuan County was renamed Wuyuan County. It was officially established in 1912 and has been in existence ever since. In ancient Wuyuan, there were famous lines such as Meng Tian's construction of the Great Wall to the north, Wei Qing's resistance against the Xiongnu, poet Li Bai's famous line "Long journey to Wuyuan Pass, snow chaos on the border flowers", and Zhang Jingzhong's recitation of "Wuyuan 0 returns late, the willow tree does not hang silk in February". In modern history, Wang Tongchun, a local gentleman known as the "God of Human Rivers" by the local people, repaired canals and controlled water, reclaimed land and cultivated fields, and pioneered the large-scale development of agriculture in Hetao, making Wuyuan a "Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall" with fertile land, pleasant climate, crisscrossing waterways, and guaranteed harvests from droughts and floods. In modern history, General Feng Yuxiang swore allegiance to Wuyuan and General Fu Zuoyi fought against Wuyuan, making Wuyuan even more famous. According to the Agricultural Annals of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, wheat crops were already planted in our region during the Neolithic Age. In 1940, the Suixi Agricultural Improvement Institute introduced a batch of wheat seeds from Sichuan and tested them in various banner counties of Bayannur League. The average yield that year was 750 kg/ha. In 1949, the wheat area in the Hetao Irrigation District accounted for 90% of the total wheat planting area in the region. By the mid-1970s, the wheat yield had significantly increased, reaching 6067 kg/ha. Wuyuan County is one of the national commodity grain bases and an important production base for green agricultural and livestock products in the country and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. In 1983, the People's Government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region made a decision to systematically build 15 banner counties, including Wuyuan County, into stable and high-yield commodity grain bases. The maximum wheat planting area in Wuyuan County was 600000 mu, but due to low comparative benefits, the planting area has decreased. In 2013, the wheat planting area was 247000 mu. The main wheat variety currently grown in Wuyuan County is Yongliang 4, which was successfully cultivated by Qiu Zhixin, a Tianjin educated youth who worked at the Yongning County breeding farm in Ningxia in 1984. This variety has a history of nearly 30 years of cultivation in our county. Due to the climate characteristics of abundant light energy, sufficient sunshine, large temperature difference between day and night, and low rainfall, the main cultivated soil in our county is irrigated and silted soil. The topsoil layer is a soil irrigated and silted layer, which has good tillage properties and high potassium content. The produced wheat grains are full, with high bulk density, high protein content, and high gluten value. The processed flour has a wide range of adaptability and produces dumplings and noodles with good color, transparency, good edible quality, chewiness, smoothness, and good viscoelasticity
