BEIJING, June 11 (Reuters) - Three people died in eastern China after strong winds toppled a shipyard crane, authorities said on Sunday, as storms caused damage across the country, including large swaths of farmland.
In Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu province in eastern China, large trees were felled on Saturday, crushing vehicles and blocking roads, local media reported.
The measures include 275 million yuan for prizes to family farms and cooperatives to encourage high yield, CCTV reported.
On Friday, heavy rain hit parts of southwest China, including Guangxi, engulfing roads and partially submerging buildings.
