　　Dayin Village Town is located in the northeast of Hengshui City. The town has 19 administrative villages, a population of 23,000, and 54,500 mu of arable land, making it a typical agricultural hub.

　　　　Specialized farming enriches the people, and greenhouse vegetables build the town. Dayin Village Town is the birthplace of facility vegetable cultivation in Raoyang County and also the township with the largest area and highest standard of greenhouse vegetable planting in the county. Currently, the total number of greenhouses in the town has reached 19,800, covering a total area of 34,000 mu. There are over 20 varieties of new, high-quality, and specialty crops. The vegetable industry generates an output value of 270 million yuan, accounting for 78% of the total agricultural output value. In 2007, aiming to become “the top vegetable-producing town in Hebei Province,” the town planned and developed four specialized demonstration zones and established two “10,000-mu” model plots. It promoted biological pest control techniques and passed the non-polluted vegetable standards assessment by the Evaluation Committee of the National Bureau of Standards and Metrology. It was designated as the “Hometown of Vegetables in Hebei Province” by the Hebei Provincial Department of Agriculture. At the same time, led by greenhouse vegetable cultivation, a series of related industries such as agricultural supply, vegetable seedling cultivation, processing and sales, packaging, and transportation have been developed, making it a pillar industry for the entire town.
