Halfway up the mountainside of the "Baby Valley" Ravine flying out of the "Golden Millet" Spring Water People's Home He is really unusual...
In liubu street in the southern mountains of Jinan, every harvest season, there will always be brilliant golden yellow floating on the mountainside. Looking up, layers of terraces, layers of golden valleys, heavy grain ears emit an intoxicating valley fragrance.
Approaching along the winding asphalt road, you can see the third batch of authorized enterprises of the Quanshui people 's homes hidden" in the mountains - Fuyou Agricultural Cooperative. South of the Zifangdong Scenic Area, north of the Front Tooth Scenic Area, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the terrain is majestic and tall... As a "treasure land of feng shui", Baoyu Village has been cultivating millet for more than 100 years.
Passed down from generation to generation, continue the millet love
"Since I remember, the village has been planting millet, and this mountainous area is suitable for growing millet," the reporter met with Wang Fuyou, the person in charge, at the Fuyou Agricultural Cooperative. Baoyu Village is surrounded by mountains, crops are planted on the terraces on the mountainside, most of the plots are in the shade, the land is barren, these seemingly unfavorable conditions just become the "treasure plots" of the Fuyou Cooperative.
"Is Wang Fuyou at home?" Quick, you come to think of a way. Around 2010, the grain in the village was hit once, becoming the "White Hair Valley", the millet was tasseled but did not grow grains, the people in the village were in a hurry, seeing that there was no harvest in a year, Wang Fuyou could not sit still, he began to think of various ways.
Out of the mountains, from Jinan City to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and later found a well-known expert of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and found the problem. With the answer, Wang Fuyou returned to the village, changing grain seeds, rotating crops and stubble, and using excellent varieties and planting techniques brought back from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Over the years, not only has the "Baimao Valley" germ been solved and a bumper harvest has been obtained, but also the millet grown in Baoyu Village has come out of the mountain.
Watching the grain in the village get better day by day, the matter of staying at home to grow millet took root in Wang Fuyu's heart. "The traditional way of growing grain is not the way to go, you must let the millet in the village go out," Wang Fuyou said. This incident made Wang Fuyou have a deep understanding of the grain planting in the village, and he immediately registered the "Zifangdong" millet trademark. Using the varieties provided by the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the plots in the village are included in the standardized management, and cooperatives are actively established to "save" the golden millet.
Writing rebirth in the fire, the ravine becomes "Golden Gully"
Since then, Wang Fuyou has been even more obsessed with Guzi. He began to select three varieties for trial planting every year, do comparative tests, and whenever he selected a series of seeds that meet the planting conditions such as strong performance, high yield, lodging resistance, disease and pest resistance, and good taste, he would recommend planting to the villagers in the next year.
The high-quality varieties not only greatly improve the yield of millet planted in the village, but also make the quality of millet better. "The millet production in my village is relatively low, only 400-500 pounds when the wind and rain are smooth, and the millet grown by the big fat and large water is high, but the taste is not good, and it cannot be sold at a price." The environment here is good, the mountains and water are real, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the millet is delicious. Wang Fuyou said.
Later, he did not expect that he led the Fuyou Ecological Agriculture Tourism Professional Cooperative to grow the Zifangdong brand "Jigu 14" millet, and the "fledgling" stood out among more than 40 enterprises at the 2016 Jinan High-quality Millet Tasting Meeting and won the gold award.
"Golden millet" is a fine product in both color and taste, the color is pure and soft, and it is not the kind of dazzling yellow. Another point is implemented in the taste, millet boiled porridge golden yellow, there are layers of silky oil skin, gently sip, full of raw fragrance, which is a good landscape moisturizing.
This heavy honor has made the obscure "sub-room hole" millet begin to receive everyone's attention, and Wang Fuyou has become more motivated. "How can a good millet be hidden"? Since then, he began to meet the government's call and once again led the villagers to expand the scope to several surrounding villages to find plots suitable for millet growth. "Chaoyang wheat back shade valley, bluestone mountain, black soil, grown millet is delicious, this kind of land in our Liubu street is not difficult to find." Wang Fuyou told reporters.
The green "cornucopia" drives the people in the mountains
However, if the planting of millet only relies on "heaven and time", Wang Fuyou will not be able to obtain such a shining gold medal. "Agriculture can remain unchanged, there must be an advanced and scientific concept of planting, if not, then go to learn!" Wang Fuyou said. He has consulted well-known experts of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences for many times to learn advanced planting methods, in line with the current concept of circular agriculture, using millet straw as the main raw material, combined with the cow and sheep manure of the villagers, and making organic fertilizers, forming the current circular agriculture.
In addition, he continues the century-old experience of growing millet "using sesame seeds as base fertilizer", using fried sesame seeds as the bottom fertilizer, and mixing sesame seeds with grain seeds to the ground when planting millet. "Sesame oily, each sesame seed through the frying after fermentation in the ground, oil properties radiate an area the size of a copper coin, oily crops, but also drought tolerance, not only improve the taste, oily is also more sticky and sweeter, filling the trace elements that are not there." Wang Fuyou said.
Nowadays, the planting scale of "Golden Millet" has been radiated to Many Villages such as Baoyu, Shiju, Lishi and so on, with more than 100 growers and an annual output value of more than 1 million, bringing tangible economic benefits to growers. In order to make millet sell at a good price and better play the role of the millet industry in driving rural revitalization, Wang Fuyou did not forget his original intention, and the next step was to focus on the development of the high-quality and famous signboard of "Golden Millet", combined with the planning suggestions given by agricultural experts, to bring the millet from Liubu out of Nanshan and better out of Jinan.
