The villagers were clamoring, putting forward quite a few suggestions.
The old village chief nodded to each one, responding, "I've discussed with the team leader, we plan to plant forty percent sweet potatoes, twenty percent potatoes, twenty percent soybeans, ten percent millet, and ten percent sorghum."
Corn is not drought-resistant, so forget it.
As for planting millet and sorghum, it's because eating too many sweet potatoes causes heartburn. We can't just eat sweet potatoes, we have to complement them with some grains.
Just hoping that the crops planted can yield some harvest.
The old village chief said, "In the past two years, our village has dug six wells and two reservoirs. If a big drought comes, twenty percent of millet and sorghum can still be preserved, but if planted too much, they'll also die from drought."
