More than 10 mu (0.6 hectares) of colorful corn in Baiyun district's Migang village has entered the harvest season, yielding nearly 1 metric ton per mu.
This year, the farm has experimented with new varieties, including Golden and Silver Corn, Ruby Corn, and White Pearl Corn. The first batch has already sold out, with consumers giving positive feedback.

The colorful sweet corn has thin, paper-like skin and is tender and seedless, offering a sweet and juicy taste when eaten raw, as well as a soft, sweet flavor when steamed or cooked, even better than ordinary variety.
The planting enterprise employs eco-friendly practices throughout the cultivation process, meticulously tending to each plant with techniques such as "one plant, one ear", utilizing irrigation water from the Liuxi River, and implementing both physical and biological pest control methods to ensure high-quality corn.
The second harvest began on June 16 and is expected to be completed by the end of June. In the second half of the year, the farm plans to expand production, collaborate with villagers through order-based agriculture sales, and develop agritourism projects centered around fruit picking.
From now until the end of June, residents can visit No. 39 Longzhuangzhong Street in Migang village to experience sweet corn picking and taste different textures on-site.
The village, situated along the Liuxi River, boasts stunning scenery and is an ideal destination for camping and leisure activities. With lychees currently in season, visitors can enjoy picking both these and corn during their visit.
