The lettuce market is acceptable, and the cabbage has also ushered in a bumper harvest. The cabbage grown in Diba Village is large, the leaves are dry, tender and shiny. In order to prevent land abandonment in autumn and winter, since the autumn harvest, Diba Village has actively used idle fields for crop rotation, vigorously developed the vegetable industry, provided whole-process tracking services and technical guidance, ensured high yield and high efficiency of vegetable planting, and helped the masses increase income and agricultural efficiency.

After carefully arranging the cabbage, it was soon filled to a truckload, and the villagers picked the cabbage to the side of the road, weighed it and sent it to the truck, and the truckload of freshly picked cabbage was immediately sent to the vegetable market.
"This year's bumper harvest of vegetables" Wang Shengyong told reporters that in order to ensure that the masses increase production and income, after the autumn harvest, Diba Village actively adjusted land resources and planted seasonal vegetables, so as to promote the "winter idle field" to become a "field to increase income". It's the peak of seasonal vegetables in winter, and there are more than a dozen people picking lettuce at the base every day. With the care and help of the county agricultural and rural departments, agricultural technology experts entered the village to provide planting technical guidance to ensure product quality.
"Look, these lettuces are growing big and good. In the vegetable field, Sister Liao, a villager, showed the reporter the freshly picked lettuce while picking, and said happily.

Diba Village is just a microcosm of Yangliutang Town's development of mountainous agriculture.
In recent years, Yangliutang Town has taken the transformation of traditional agricultural production methods and the development of modern agriculture as a key task, made every effort to create a good production environment for modern agriculture, and took the development of vegetable industry as an entry point to promote agricultural income. At the same time, large-scale planting and harvesting also provide employment opportunities for the surrounding people, truly increase agricultural efficiency, increase farmers' income, increase farmland income, and help rural revitalization.
At the beginning of last year, Yangliutang Town explored the establishment of a "land bank" in Diba Village, guided the masses to break the traditional concept, and broke the boundary of the field and soil ridge through "small to large", which effectively solved the problem of land fragmentation, broke the traditional land circulation model, promoted the moderate concentration and large-scale operation of land, and provided a solid foundation for early planning, early deployment, early preparation and early planting in autumn and winter.
In the autumn and winter, Yangliutang Town adheres to the word "early", formulates the autumn and winter planting work plan, plans to carry out the harvest of green storage and plans the autumn and winter industry at the same time, ensures that the green storage is harvested and rushes to plant cabbage, so that the land can be connected to the stubble and not fall into the wasteland, promote early planting in autumn and winter, market in the morning, promote income increase, stabilize the granary vegetable basket, and help rural revitalization.

"At the beginning of last year, we were in the town party committee, the government on the autumn and winter planting early planning, early deployment, early preparation, early planting work deployment, early promotion of autumn and winter planting, the first round of autumn and winter planting in the dam area planting 80 acres of lotus white, is expected to yield 8,000-10,000 pounds per mu, driving more than 40 people to work nearby. Wang Shengyong said.
Guided by market demand, the town mobilizes large planters and wealthy experts to drive the majority of farmers to vigorously develop characteristic industries such as pepper, konjac, tea, and Ganoderma lucidum through the model of "Party Branch + Cooperative + Farmer", and effectively makes industrial development a "Dinghai Shen Needle" for farmers to get rich and increase income, and industrial revitalization has achieved remarkable results in boosting rural revitalization.
According to statistics, at present, more than 12,000 acres of various vegetables are cultivated in autumn and winter in Yangliutang Town. Through the implementation of the "land bank", the implementation of the "small to large" leveling of the ridge, increase the land area at the same time, promote the intensive large-scale mechanized management of cultivated land, effectively reduce agricultural production input, improve agricultural production efficiency, the area has also increased from the "small to large" before the implementation of one season of crops per year to more than two seasons per year, the annual output value of crops per mu increased from 1,100 yuan to 2,300 yuan. Farmers who save land not only receive land "saving" dividends, but also obtain wages by working nearby, effectively promoting agricultural efficiency and farmers' income, and helping rural revitalization.
"We must unswervingly take the road of industrial revitalization, continue to explore and innovate from the potential of existing industries, revitalize idle assets, improve the quality of high-quality resources, and develop new industries and new formats, and continuously accelerate the construction of a new agricultural management system through 'one village, one product', so as to realize the village-owned industry and household income, so that the fruit and vegetable industry can grow into a new engine to promote farmers' income, agricultural efficiency and rural revitalization." Mei Changguo, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and mayor of Yangliutang Town, said that in the next step, the town will closely focus on the development idea of "developing industry, bringing employment, and promoting income increase", with the goal of strengthening the village collective economy and villagers' "double income", and actively explore and extend the planting model of "party building + cooperatives + technicians + farmers", continuously optimize the industrial structure, continue to expand the industrial scale, and install a "booster" for rural revitalization.
