The economic development was slow and at the bottom of urban cities in Weifang. It also took the back seat in the all cities of Shandong. Agricultural structure in Shouguang City was single and the level of production was low. It was 300 kilograms of grain per mu. The proportion of crop farming was nearly 80% and the proportion of vegetables grown in the local agriculture is less than 20%. But now, Shouguang is the largest vegetable base and specialized vegetable market. There are now 150,000 farmers and 400,000 spring protective fields. Vegetables growing area is up to 800,000 mus and 70% of farmers income is from vegetables. The city is so-called "Chinese vegetables basket".

Agriculture in Shouguang City tells us that:the combination of scientific information technology and agriculture is an important cornerstone of agriculture modernization. On the base of the research about the construction of informatization and the experience about information agriculture of Shouguang city, it is useful to analyze that development and creation of information agriculture in the city brings pleasant changes to the local people and the development of information agriculture at home and abroad. And then it can be used to deal with the some problems in areas backward for its modernization of agricultural development or built a new socialist countryside slowly or late for development of agricultural information and it is to make modern communication better served for the rural economic development and production and life for reference.
