Farmers collect sod at a planting center in Regang village, in Chengdong town in Hai'an – a county-level city administered by Nantong in East China's Jiangsu province – on Nov 24. Sod planting involves transplanting mature turf or grass lawn that has been cared for by a professional. [Photo/CFP]

In recent years, Regang village has taken the initiative to develop high-efficiency agriculture. Sod planting enables local farmers to have something to do in winter as they are free from farm work in that season and can earn extra money. [Photo/CFP]
