Grain Yield Increase and Disaster Reduction by “Fen long” Technology Invented in China Contributing to Improve the Better Future of Human Being
Editor’s Note:
In recent years, natural disasters such as drought and waterlogging occur frequently. Climate warming has triggered various disasters that affect existence, which has brought unprecedented challenges to grain production, ecological environment and world peace maintenance. “Fen long” technology, the new method of farming invented by Wei Benhui, the Chinese inventor, can help to solve these problems in the world to a certain extent and make the human future better by multiple using “5 kinds of resources”, soil and its cubic natural rainfall, oxygen, temperature, humidity and solar energy.

In August 2021, the yield of highland barley in the saline-alkali soil, which was transformed by “smash-ridging” technology in Zangzhong Village, Zhaqi Town, Zhanang County, Shannan City, Tibet, China, the roof of the world, increased by 38.67%. The highland barley yield of smash ridging sand soil farmland in Kemai Community, Changzhu Township, Naidong District, increased by 1121.73 kg, with 25.43% of increase range, and the straw yield also increased by more than 20%. Peng Xinhua, the researcher of Nanjing Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences has implemented smash-ridging sweet potato experiment in Jiangxi Province, and the result was that the yield increased by 89% to 117%. The maximum production increase of wheat of heavy coast saline-alkali soil in Dongying City, Shandong Province was 154.22% after being transformed by “smash-ridging” technology. The production increase of cotton of heavy saline-alkali soil in Yuli County, Xinjiang Autonomous Region was yet 81.17% in the fourth year after being transformed by “smash-ridging” technology. Over the past decade, “smash-ridging” technology was applied to nearly 50 kinds of crops such as rice, corn and wheat in 28 provinces such as Guangxi and Xinjiang, and no more rich water, pesticide or other production costs was required while the production increase was generally 10% to 50%, the quality was improved by 5% and the increase production in saline-alkali soil was 20% to 100% after transformation. Experts estimated that, the natural disaster such as waterlogging, drought, high temperature and low temperature may be reduced by more than 20%, and soil environment improvement,and crop biomass increase will reduce carbon by more than 10% and increase ground air humidity by 10%.

Invented by Wei Benhui from Guangxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences, “smash-ridging” technology is a major new method of farming, which can realize a new round of production increase, quality improvement, water conservation, disaster reduction, carbon reduction and sustainable development of agriculture and contribute to widen the space of human existence and development.
In March 2021, “smash-ridging” technology was shown on the world’s No. 1 screen in Times Square, which stated that the smash ridging agricultural machinery and smash ridging farming that would not mess the soil layers for ultra deep ploughing had broken through worldwide problems such as “physical” production increase of agriculture and physical transformation of saline-alkali soil. “Smash-ridging” technology which has shocked the world is common technology, common welfare and common wealth of all mankind.
The advert of “smash-ridging” technology marks that the world has ushered in a very rare new agricultural revolution. The technology is simple, widely applied and sustainable for hundreds of years. It has realized increase of grain production and decrease of disaster to benefit human being.

1. Creating subversive fifth farming mode, which is worldwide used
“Smash-ridging” technology is named after vertical burying, high-speed rotary-cut smash soil, ridge and suspend by using spiral, hollow and other “drill” farming tools invented by Wei Benhui, instead of the “plow” which has been used for 5,500 years. “Smash-ridging” technology has become the fifth efficient farming mode after slash-and-burn cultivation, man power, animal power and tractor ploughing in the history of human farming. “Smash-ridging” technology structured “smash-ridging agriculture” technology system that matches smash-ridging agricultural machinery, smash-ridging farming and smash-ridging cultivation and overturned traditional farming way and agricultural production technical philosophy by using the scientific concept of “ultra deep ploughing and deep loosening the soil without messing the soil layers”. The worldwide universal technology expands the space for human existence and development, and its scientific connotation and characteristics are as below:
First of all, fully excavate natural resource utilization that the earth feeds human being. With 5 kinds of natural resources, soil, the grain producer which the mankind survives on, natural rainfall, oxygen, temperature and humidity and solar energy, once more multiple positive utilization can be realized on the basis of existent farming and agricultural utilization to promote a new round of agricultural production increase, quality improvement, water conservation, disaster reduction, carbon drop and sustainable development.
Secondly, trigger deepening utilization of the surface soil of earth with a light force. Loosened soil increases several times over., and most of soil is granular, and granular structure surface is smooth. Unit weight decreases by 10% to 20%, and available nutrient increases by 10% to 30%. Basic fertility improves by 10% to 30%, and applying quantity of chemical fertilizer for planting crop can reduce by more than 10%.
Thirdly, create cultivated land reservoir with loosened soil and expanded volume. Natural rainfall reserves approximately double, which provides conditions for human being to utilize rainwater and snow water again. Soil porosity enlarges approximately and oxygen increase approximately by one time. Soil microbial community and quantity increase by almost multiple times.

Fourthly, create soil ecological environment that is suitable for crop growth. Smash ridging cultivation requires soil ecological environment with balanced water, fertilizer, gas and heat. The crop takes roots in the earlier stage, strengthens in the medium stage and becomes powerful in the later stage. It features production increase and quality improvement with resistant to drought, high and low temperature. The root system is particularly developed with fibrous root increasing and activity strengthening. The photosynthetic efficiency improves by 10% to 30%, and the stress resistance such as drought and high and low temperature improves by approximately 20%, while biomass increases by 20% to 30%.
Fifthly, create suitable environment for crops based on ecological conditions in which high agricultural yield is still available and consumption of agricultural “chemicals” is achievable even the consumption of fertilizer and pesticide can be reduced by more than 10% and some plastic mulch can be reduced. Some of polluted soil can be “purified itself”. For example, reduction of heavy metal pollution (reduction of cadmium content of rice) is a physical effect that other chemical means can hardly match.

Sixthly, realize no ecological area or crop variety limit. Almost all crops and some traditional Chinese medicinal materials in rice field, dry land and even saline-alkali soil can be applied to from Hainan Province at low latitude (18°N) to Xinjiang and Heilongjiang at high latitude (45° to 50°N), from Beihai of Guangxi at low altitude (10 to 15 metres) to Shigatse of Tibet at high altitude (over 4,000 metres), which indicates that there is no obvious limit on ecological area or crop variety, and it can be generally used in the world.
2. Application in China’s cultivated land and saline-alkali soil in 2021, with outstanding results
Test on smash ridging has been implemented in many places of China, and the result showed that comparing with traditional cultivation, the yield of rice increased by 15.5%, that of corn increased by 12.26%, and that of peanut increased by 8.05% with no fertilization.
“Smash ridging” technology has been applied to 50 kinds of crops such as rice, corn, wheat and potato in 28 provinces all over China for more than a decade, and production increase achieved 10% to 50%, and production increase in saline-alkali soil after being transformed achieved 20% to 100% with no increasing fertilization or irrigation volume. There are many cases of production increase in various places. In Yuanjiang City of Hunan Province, yield of smash ridging rice increased by 26.5% in that year, and it still increased by 12% in the fourth year after the first smash ridging cultivation. The yield of smash ridging wheat in Fuping, Shaanxi Province increased by 29.9%, and that of the second crop of corn increased by 34.89%. The average production increase of rained farming sugarcane was 32.5%.
In 2021, the cases of production increase with “smash-ridging” technology occurred frequently, and the results are outstanding.
Firstly, rice production continuously increases with “smash-ridging” technology. Yaoguao Town, Longhui County, Hunan Province used to be the breakthrough point where Academician Yuan Longping’s hybrid rice yields reached 900 kg per mu. In April 2014, “smash-ridging” cultivation was implemented, and the yield of hybrid rice increased by 25% in that year. It has been the 8th year since “smash ridging” technology was implemented, but the yield of hybrid rice is expected to increase by 10% or so. The yield of second crop of rice after rice smash ridging was implemented in Yongan Village, Shifu Town, Nanning City, Guangxi Autonomous Region increased by 9.5%.

Secondly, smash ridging water conservation and continuous high yield lasted for many years. In 2021, the third year after “smash-ridging” technology was implemented in Yanshan, Cangzhou City, Hebei Province, the yield of wheat with water conservation increased by 18% with irrigation reduction by nearly 2,000 cubic metres per hectare. In 2021, the sixth year after “smash-ridging” technology was implemented in Fanjiazhai Village, Guyang Town, Lankao County, Henan Province, the yield of wheat increased by 10.3%.
Thirdly, “smash-ridging” agriculture and saline alkali soil transformation in highland region. As previous statement, the yield of highland barley of saline alkali soil in Tibet, the roof of the world, increased by 38.67%, that of highland barley of sand soil cultivated land with “smash-ridging” technology increased by 25.43%, that of highland barley straw increased by more than 20%, which can effectively solve the problem of lack of grain and feed in Tibet.
Fourthly, the history of high yield of sugarcane in a large area with “smash-ridging” technology was made. “Smash-ridging” technology “145” demonstration base for planting sugarcane was built in Guangxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences. On March 6, 2021, upon experts’ acceptance, it increased by 38.3% than conventional cultivation. “Smash-ridging” technology “145” demonstration in Binyang of Guangxi, is expected to make history of green ecological high yield of sugarcane in a large area with entire mechanization to bring a sample for China’s and the world’s sugarcane planting technology.
3. Increasing grain yield and decreasing disaster by conforming to the nature, and all the mankind getting a better future
The best living quality and survival and development environment with abundant and tasteful food, fresh air and visible blue sky and cloud are mankind’s good wishes.
The earth is endowed with 5 kinds of inexhaustible natural resources, soil and its stereoscopic spatial natural rainfall, oxygen, temperature and humidity and solar energy. Soil is the “producer” of grain and other agricultural products the human being survives on and the “regulator” of natural environment to relieve drought, waterlogging and other natural disasters. In order to realize the above dreams, human being has to profoundly comprehend and properly utilize the “5 kinds of natural resources”, which is the fundamental obedience to the rules of resource utilization for mankind’s survival. For a country, the more proper utilization rate of “the 5 kinds of natural resources” of the stereoscopic space, the more secure grain and ecology in the country, the more fortunate of national life, which is also in this way for all the world and all the mankind.

The core of “smash-ridging” technology is to multiply sound utilization of the above “5 kinds of natural resources”. Its pioneering scientific contribution is based on the principle of “ultra deep cultivation and deep loosening (by utilizing the soil resources of plough sole which human being has not utilized yet), loosening soil at original site, granular soil, once off completion of soil preparation., and no tillage or light tillage for conservation tillage for years”. Meanwhile, “smash-ridging” technology is almost applied to various land resources including cultivated land and saline alkali soil so that agricultural available resources have expanded substantially. Furthermore, yield increase can be maintained with properly reducing fertilization. Additionally, it is easy to popularize and apply, and it is merely to replace tractor “plough” cultivation with smash ridging “drill”. Rice field is 25 cm deep, and dry land is 35 cm deep, and saline alkali soil is 40 cm deep. Expected effect is achievable with no excessive input or technical instruction required.
Wei Benhui said that invention of spiral and hollow “drill” tillage implements would certainly bring a major change of tillage implements and modernization of series products of smash ridging agricultural machinery equipment. The world will usher in great new times of “smash-ridging agriculture”.

According to expert’s estimates, if 1 billion mu of farmland and 300 million saline alkali land are cultivated in China, 130 billion kg of grain can be increased every year and 300 to 400 million more people can be fed. If land “smash-ridging” technology is implemented in 50% of farmland in the world, yield of grain can be increased and more people can be fed.
With “smash-ridging” technology, 40 to 50 cubic metres of natural rainfall reserve can be increased for cultivated land per mu, and drought, waterlogging and other disasters can be reduced. Recently, heavy waterlogging occurred in Henan Province. Because light tillage is carried out in most of cultivate land (most of loosened soil of plough layer is 12 to 15 cm), the soil of button layer is compacted and moves upward due to rolling by tractor wheels for years. Adding the road extension and ground hardening in the villages, there is no more place for water reservation. If “smash ridging” technology is implemented in half of cultivated land, such affect of rainstorm can be reduced greatly. Also, with improving smash ridging soil environment and significant increasing crop biomass, the goals including carbon reduction, peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutralization can be achieved early, and global warming can be relived greatly.
“Smash-ridging agriculture” and its entire production technology system invented and created by Wei Benhui have surpassed the existent agricultural production mode and have been affirmed and supported by Yuan Longping and other more than 10 Chinese academicians. The technology system has been practiced to almost all crop varieties from low latitude to high latitude and from low altitude to high altitude. It can be popularized globally and is expected to be a new mainstream technology in the world to lead the trend of agricultural cultivation development. The future will be better for all mankind.

Dreamtime Dentistry Releases Free Dental Implant Readiness Checklist to Help Patients Prepare for Treatment
-
Dreamtime Dentistry in Vista, California, provides a practical tool designed to simplify the decision-making process for patients considering dental implants.
Vista, CA, Jun 09, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Dreamtime Dentistry has released a free dental implant readiness checklist designed to help patients determine whether they are good candidates for dental implant treatment and what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. The resource provides a step-by-step framework for evaluating oral health, understanding treatment timelines, and preparing for successful outcomes.
The checklist addresses common questions about bone density, healing time, temporary solutions, and long-term maintenance. It is available for immediate download and can be completed in 15 minutes or less.
Why Patients Struggle With Implant Decisions
Many patients considering dental implants face confusion about whether they qualify for treatment, how long the process takes, and what preparation is required. Without clear guidance, patients often delay treatment or make decisions without fully understanding their options.
“We didn’t want patients going from office to office trying to complete a treatment plan. If we can bring the right expertise into one place, it simplifies everything for the patient,” says Dr. Ryan Watkins, founder of Dreamtime Dentistry.
The checklist breaks down the implant process into manageable steps, helping patients identify potential obstacles early and understand what factors influence success rates.
How the Checklist Reflects a Technology-Forward Approach
Dreamtime Dentistry has built its workflow around advanced imaging and diagnostics, including CBCT scans and intraoral scanning. The checklist encourages patients to ask about imaging options during consultations and understand how technology improves treatment planning.
“We had a patient come in for what looked like a simple crown. The scan showed a crack running deeper than expected. Without that, we would’ve treated the wrong problem first,” Watkins explains.
The practice emphasizes the value of seeing the full picture before moving forward with any restorative work. The checklist prompts patients to ask specific questions about bone structure, sinus positioning, and nerve pathways, all of which can be assessed through advanced imaging.
Dr. Kyung Boen, who has over 25 years of experience placing dental implants, works alongside Dr. Watkins to provide comprehensive in-house care. The checklist reflects this integrated model, guiding patients through questions about specialist referrals and whether multiple appointments at different offices will be required.
Use This in 15 Minutes
Patients can complete the checklist in a single sitting. It includes sections on current oral health, medical history considerations, lifestyle factors that affect healing, and financial planning questions. Each section includes yes or no questions and prompts for follow-up conversations with a dental provider.
The checklist also provides space to note medications, previous dental work, and any symptoms that may affect implant placement. Patients are encouraged to bring the completed checklist to their consultation to streamline the appointment and ensure nothing is overlooked.
The resource is designed to be printed or filled out digitally, making it accessible for patients at any stage of the decision-making process.
Common Mistakes People Make
One of the most frequent errors is waiting too long after tooth loss to consider an implant. Bone loss accelerates over time, which can complicate placement and require additional procedures like bone grafting.
Another common mistake is failing to disclose medical conditions or medications that affect healing. Patients sometimes assume their general health does not impact dental treatment, but factors like diabetes, smoking, and certain prescriptions can influence success rates.
Many patients also underestimate the importance of post-procedure care. The checklist includes a section on aftercare expectations, including dietary restrictions, activity limits, and follow-up appointments.
Finally, patients often compare implant costs without understanding what is included in the price. The checklist prompts users to ask whether the quote covers imaging, the implant post, the abutment, the crown, and any necessary preparatory work.
Built on a Foundation of Access and Care
Dreamtime Dentistry opened in 2011 with a mission to serve patients who had limited options for care, including children and individuals with special needs. Dr. Watkins initially focused on providing sedation dentistry in an outpatient setting, which offered a lower-cost alternative to hospital-based treatment.
“I saw a lot of patients who had nowhere else to go. If we didn’t treat them, they ended up in hospitals or just went without care,” Watkins says.
In 2021, the practice relocated to a newly remodeled office in Vista, expanding its focus to general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry. The new space includes heated massage dental chairs, large-screen monitors in every operatory, and an onsite CEREC lab for same-day crowns.
“We built the office to match where we wanted to go, not where we started,” Watkins adds.
The practice now offers a full range of services, including same-day crowns, veneers, teeth whitening, ceramic fillings, and root canal treatment provided by Dr. Joel Altshul, an experienced endodontist.
How to Use the Checklist Today
Patients interested in dental implants can download the free checklist from Dreamtime Dentistry’s website. The resource is intended for anyone exploring implant options, whether they are ready to schedule treatment or still gathering information.
Completed checklists can be brought to consultations at Dreamtime Dentistry or used with any dental provider. The practice encourages patients to use the tool as a starting point for informed conversations about their oral health and treatment goals.

Ha T Hatley Urges Patients to Treat Weight Care as a System, Not a Sprint
-
Ha T Hatley, MD, a board certified Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine physician based in Edwardsville, Illinois, outlines a practical framework for sustainable weight management.
The Core Issue Patients Keep Running Into
Edwardsville, IL, Jun 09, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Ha T Hatley, MD, says one pattern shows up again and again across telehealth visits, urgent care, and outpatient settings. Patients arrive ready to commit, follow a plan for several weeks, and then lose momentum the moment life shifts. Travel, work pressure, family demands, or a single off week becomes the reason a plan ends.
According to Dr. Hatley, the issue is rarely effort. It is structure. Most plans are built for ideal weeks. Real weeks are rarely ideal.
Why Short Term Plans Keep Failing
Dr. Hatley describes weight care as a long arc, not a short project. She points out that weight intersects with nearly every other area of health, including energy, sleep, mood, blood pressure, and hormonal balance. When a plan only addresses food intake or exercise minutes, it tends to collapse the moment a patient faces a stressful season.
In her view, sustainable weight management depends on a system patients can repeat on their hardest days, not just their easiest ones.
A Five Part Framework Patients Can Adopt
Dr. Hatley shares a simple framework patients can use to build a more durable approach to weight and overall health.
-
Build a baseline week, not a perfect week. Define what a normal, busy, imperfect week looks like, then design a plan that fits inside it. If the plan only works on a quiet week, it will not last.
-
Anchor two non negotiable habits. Choose two daily habits that stay in place no matter what. Most patients do well with a consistent protein target and a daily walk. Small, repeatable, and difficult to skip.
-
Track patterns, not perfection. Look at the full month, not the daily number. Weight, energy, sleep, and mood all move together. A single day rarely tells the real story.
-
Plan the recovery, not just the routine. Build a clear restart plan for missed days. The patients who succeed long term are not the ones who never slip. They are the ones with a faster return to baseline.
-
Review every ninety days. Schedule a structured review with a clinician every quarter. Adjust based on data, life changes, and goals. Care that never adjusts rarely lasts.
What Patients Can Do This Week
Dr. Hatley recommends three steps anyone can take in the next seven days. Identify the two habits that will stay in place no matter the week. Write down a recovery plan for missed days before they happen. Schedule a clinical check in for the next ninety day window.
Consistency, she notes, almost always shows up later. The patients who stay with the system long enough are usually the ones who see results compound.
About Ha T Hatley, MD
Ha T Hatley, MD, MS, is a board certified physician in Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine based in Edwardsville, Illinois, with a telehealth practice serving patients across the United States. Her clinical background spans outpatient telemedicine, urgent care, emergency medicine, and obesity medicine. She also serves as a physician in the Army National Guard.
