Reportage: "Responsibility, Responsibility, Dedication" (I)
In the southwest of the Ordos Plateau in Inner Mongolia, there is a village called Arilai that neither relies on the mountains nor the water, with a total area of 520,000 mu of grass pasture and only 110 households and 350 permanent households, which is such an inconspicuous village, but in just a few years, remarkable changes have taken place:
A meat processing plant with an annual production of 300,000 heads was erected;
A planting base that unites 30 herders and grows 20,000 acres of forage;
A breeding and breeding base with 30 households and a breeding scale of 50,000 heads;
A natural grazing base with 30 households and a breeding scale of 18,000 heads;
An agricultural machinery service team with 5 joint households and 11 sets of large agricultural machinery;
A tourism service organization that unites 42 companies, mainly based on the worship of Ao Bao, temple fairs, and pastoral music;
In 2013, the annual per capita net income of herders exceeded the mark of 30,000 yuan, becoming the first village in Qianqi, Otok.
Why did Ari ragacha change so much? This has to start with Batunashun, the secretary of the Gacha party branch who led the herders to get rich together.
Affection
Batunashun was born in September 1957 to an ordinary herdsman family in the Arilai Brigade (later known as Gacha) in the commune of Maughetu in the former banner of Otok. Among the 6 younger siblings, he was the eldest, in that era of relying on work to eat, the labor force was small, the population was large, the life was embarrassing, and the excellent boss Batuna Shun only went to school for three and a half years, and returned to the production team to participate in labor at the age of 14.
In 1971, when he was only 14 years old, he led his 10-year-old sister to a place hundreds of kilometers away from home to herd sheep, and his courage and ability were evident. At the age of 16, he joined the regiment, that is, from this year onwards, his ability and talent were gradually recognized and understood by the villagers, first by the commune to engage in line education, became a cadre in the countryside, and then became a militia company commander. In 1975, at the age of 18, he joined the party, a day he will never forget, and taking the oath under the bright red party flag made Batu Nashun feel another responsibility. He knew that this was a heavy burden, that is, from this day on, Batunashun was closely linked to the rise and fall of Ari ragacha.
In the blink of an eye, more than 2 years have passed, and the experience of deputy secretary in the past two years, because of his fairness, courage and courage, has won him a very high reputation among the masses. In 1977, the Gacha Party Branch was re-elected, and he was elected as the Secretary of the Gacha Party Branch with a high vote.
The vast grassland has made the people who have lived here for generations straight, generous, industrious and kind. But the sour years did not allow the farmers and herders on this grassland to live a good life. In Batu Nashun's soul, he could not erase the "dust" that penetrated into his bones from the thick soil of his hometown, nor could he forget the suffering of his father and elderly in his hometown who were financially strapped. These are the driving forces behind his determination to change the face of his hometown. Taking the road of common prosperity is his lifelong unremitting pursuit, changing the face of poverty is a knot that a grassland baby has been difficult to solve for many years, and it is also his unshirkable obligation.
Located in the Ganliang region, Arilai Gacha is a Gacha that is mainly based on animal husbandry. Animal husbandry production is single and traditional, which is typical of raising livestock by nature. The rapid increase in the number of livestock made the contradiction between grass and livestock more acute, Mother Earth began to become more and more emaciated, the desertification of the grassland spread rapidly, the grassland was groaning, and The heart of Batunashun was bleeding.
Batu nashun talked unhurriedly, with a board and an eye, which made people feel that he was a person with thoughts and depth, but he was not ostentatious, but there was a trace of resolute heroism in his eyebrows and eyes. How can the party branches continue to play the role of fighting bastions in the new situation, how can they re-unite the herdsmen's unruly hearts, and how can they lead the herdsmen to open up a scientific development path that benefits the ecology, protects the people's livelihood, and promotes development? Batu Nashun explored in painstaking thought. He held branch meetings and herdsmen's meetings again and again to find a way out, listen to the voices of the masses, and study countermeasures. He knew that "without solving the bottleneck problem of forage, Gacha's animal husbandry industry cannot develop." He told the party members categorically: "If we do not shed a layer of skin, the grassland will shed a layer of skin" and "only by building grasslands can we develop animal husbandry."
Every sentence was loud and clear, showing Secretary Ba's strong determination to build grasslands, introduce farmers into animal husbandry, and raise livestock scientifically.
After the development idea was determined, Secretary Ba and the team resolutely took out three moves. The first is to implement the work of fixing livestock with grass and prohibiting grazing. Gacha visited one family at a time, explaining one by one. Painstakingly answer the benefits and techniques of engaging in house feeding, model farming, and planting excellent pasture for herders. The second is to strive for fly-sowing, artificial grass planting, and improved grassland projects, and promote zoning and rotational grazing and seasonal fallow grazing. The enthusiasm of the herders was activated, and the silent grassland was awakened. In just two years, Quan Gacha planted 6,000 mu of trees, planted 18,000 mu of shrubs such as lemon strips, sand willows, and sheep firewood, built an area of 20,000 mu of ecological natural restoration, included 80,000 mu of grassland included in the project area, and closed desertified grassland for 50,000 mu for three years. The third is to transfer 100 farmers and herdsmen to the location of Gacha, concentrate on the development of water irrigation land, solve the problem of lack of forage materials, extend from the loose production of each household to the scale operation and the large market, and try to take the road of moderate scale operation.
In order to make the grassland green and the herdsmen rich, Secretary Ba led the two committees and herdsmen to increase the intensity of grass pasture construction, and with one drum, 120 mechanical and electrical wells were drilled, 15,000 mu of forage bases were developed, and the per capita income reached 30 mu. The total number of livestock raised reached 50,000, the per capita reached more than 100, and 30,000 heads were produced annually. The abundant forage materials of herders have laid a solid foundation for large-scale house feeding.
