At first, Zhao Kuanchang, an inexperienced farmer who returned to his hometown to start a business, bred seedlings of poor quality and low survival rate, and very few merchants came to buy seedlings. Later, he continued to study, and constantly "learned from Yangling agricultural experts", and eventually became a famous technical expert in the village, and became the "leading goose" in the revitalization of the seedling industry in Jiangyuan Village, Rugu Town, Yangling District.
"When everyone raises seedlings, they pay special attention to protecting the roots of seedlings, so that the survival rate of seedlings can be high." Zhao Kuanchang carefully instructed the seedling workers.
Years of seedling management have made him a "soil expert" for greening seedling planting. After 8 years of patient management, the seedling base has cultivated more than a dozen varieties of seedlings such as sea tung, large-leaf boxwood, Golden Privet, and Nantian bamboo, which are well received by the market.
The seedlings of the base have the "advice" of experts, and the seedlings cultivated are of excellent quality and high survival rate. Now, the seedlings in the greenhouse are planted stubble after stubble, and they can continue to supply satisfactory seedlings to merchants.
At present, the annual sales of the seedling base can reach more than 1 million yuan, solving more than 30 people working nearby, and the seedling planting base has now become a "rich garden" for surrounding villagers.
"Now, you can walk a few steps from home to the place of work, which is very convenient, and you can get 60 yuan a day." Having a job to do and making money is much better than being idle at home. Liu Baolian, a villager in Jiang Yan Village who was weeding at the seedling base, said with a smile.
"At present, the base has been expanded to 16 greenhouses and more than 50 acres of open-air seedlings, the number of seedlings cultivated is large, the variety is large, and the online and offline sales channels have been opened, sales are not a problem." While realizing their 'dream of getting rich', they have also driven the surrounding masses to increase their income and become rich and well-off! Zhao Kuanchang said proudly.
Rural revitalization is inseparable from industrial revitalization and talent revitalization. In the land of Yangling, there are a large number of agricultural practical talents who are leading the development of modern agriculture in Yangling and promoting the revitalization of rural industries. It not only brings prosperity to the agricultural industry, but also makes the countryside beautiful, the agricultural enterprises stronger, and the farmers rich.
For future plans, Zhao Kuanchang said: "The base should form a seedling industry chain, from cultivation to transplanting in place to after-sales service, to create a one-stop service for seedlings. At the same time, the seedlings are refined, the products are fine, the products are updated in a timely manner, the seedling industry is changed from 'bonsai' to 'scenery', and the all-round and diversified development of the seedling industry is realized, so that the small seedlings can become the 'cash cows' on the road to prosperity. ”
