After several years of "Warm Winter", now comes a really cold winter in our Jiuquan area. The minimum temperature reaches minus 29 Celsius Degree in this winter. There are also plenty of snow in this year.

In Chinese agriculture proverb, it says that "A fall of seasonable snow gives promise of a fruitful year", or "Plentiful year of winter snow trillion". That means if there have plenty of snow in winter, it forecasts a good harvest of next year.

We do hope a fruitful seed production season in year 2008.
