There is a guaranteed purchase price, and when the market is good, it will increase the price appropriately. ”

In 2012, after graduating, Dr. Li Hongquan entered the Hubei Academy of Agricultural Sciences to take up the "iron rice bowl". However, in less than two years, he went south to do business; in 2018, he returned to his hometown with the "first bucket of gold" earned by working hard in Shenzhen. ”
The doctor returned to his hometown to become a farmer, which triggered a sensation in Li Hongquan's circle of friends.
"My idea is simple, the parents at home need to be taken care of when they are older. The countryside also needs young people, plus I am studying agriculture, which is only a return to the 'old line'. After several years of field hardening, Li Hongquan was tanned. Wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, he looks shy, but between conversations, he is an "old-fashioned" who crawls in the field.
What do you do when you go back to your hometown?
After inspection, Li Hongquan decided to invest in green peppercorns first.
"There is government support for planting green peppercorns, and the demand for labor is large, which can drive more villagers to employment." When he returned to his hometown, Li Hongquan took out all his savings and set up a planting professional cooperative with the villagers, and transferred 1,000 acres of land to plant green peppercorns.
Thousands of acres of pepper base need a lot of organic fertilizer, and farming can solve this problem. In 2020, the Dingtai Red Rock Pig Farm in Dazhou City, which has an annual output scale of 5,000 pigs, was put into production, "I also have a 400-acre fish pond for freshwater aquaculture, mainly four big fish." ”
"Pig urine, feces, after fermentation treatment, can be mixed with water in a certain proportion, through the pipe network drip irrigation technology to the pepper base, not only can achieve less fertilization and cost savings; but also can improve the soil quality, so that the peppercorn growth continues to be good, to achieve the benign development of the breeding industry." The waste of organic fertilizer can also be planted in the pepper base and can also be used to raise grass carp. "This is Li Hongquan's circular agricultural economic account.
Li Hongquan also built a distillery, and the lees were turned into feed for pigs and fish.
In the four years since Li Hongquan returned to his hometown, the special cooperative has successively transferred more than 2,000 mu of land, of which more than 1,000 mu are planted with peppercorns and 200 mu are planted with citrus, driving the development of 168 surrounding farmers.
"You can get a land circulation fee every year, and you can usually work in the pepper base and pig farm, and you can get a salary." The fellow villagers gave Dr. Lee a thumbs up.
This year, Li Hongquan has his own new topic: "How to make good use of wasteland to attract more young people to return to their hometowns to start a business, and strive to make a difference this year." ”
