At present, it is the season of spring ploughing and spring management, and the sound of machine in the fields of Linshu County is rumbling, and there is a busy scene everywhere. The people here are particularly relaxed, after they entrust the land to the Linshu Jinfeng Commune Agricultural Service Co., Ltd., they have people to do farm work such as leveling the land, topdressing and watering, and they don't have to do it themselves.
As a large traditional agricultural county, Linshu County saw an increase in grain planting area, yield, and total output last year, and grain production increased in an all-round way. How to make the limited land more grain and good grain, the "password" is in the county's agricultural socialized service system.
Dong Shutong is 60 years old this year, a native of Linshu, and in the eyes of the villagers, he is a modern new farmer who "can go to the ground, really serve, and have feelings". Dong Shutong has been "cultivating" for 37 years, starting from the first job of "transporting agricultural and sideline products in the supply and marketing cooperatives" to co-founding Linshu Jinfeng Commune with Kingenta Group, and providing socialized services of "farming, planting, management, harvesting and sales" according to the needs of farmers.
"You go out to work, I work for you, you can save more than 180 yuan per mu of land, and you can increase your income without farming. In the summer of 2017, Dong Shutong stood at the edge of a field in Qianzhuang Village, Linshu County, and worked hard to educate the villagers about the benefits of land trusteeship.
"Are you liars?" "There is such a good thing, why is there no propaganda in the village and town?" Facing the loess and farming with their backs to the sky for decades, the villagers do not understand the land trusteeship, and most of them are watching the excitement and the people.
In order to open up the situation as soon as possible, Dong Shutong does not set access restrictions, and he will serve five acres and ten acres, and one or two acres will also be done. "The scattered plots of land caused a waste of agricultural machinery, which increased a lot of costs, and I lost all my savings in the agricultural material business. Dong Shutong said that the Linshu County Party Committee and the county government jointly issued a document to support the development of Jinfeng Commune, which strengthened his confidence in doing a good job in agricultural socialization services to "reduce the burden" of farming.
In order to avoid planting risks and ensure national food security, Linshu Jinfeng Commune has innovatively implemented the agricultural double insurance mechanism of "policy insurance + commercial insurance" to ensure "zero risk" in planting to the greatest extent Call on farmers to increase the application of probiotics and organic fertilizers, improve soil fertility, and achieve agricultural production and income.
Service into the field, farming made easy. The service model of "Jinfeng Commune" is becoming more and more popular among farmers. The whole process of grain production trusteeship covers an area of more than 20,000 mu, and the multi-link trusteeship reaches 300,000 mu, which better solves the problem of "who will farm the land and how to farm the land".
Just when the land trust project was becoming more and more mature, Lu Hongben, secretary of the party branch of Luguanzhuang Village in Linshu County, approached Dong Shutong, hoping to rely on Jinfeng Commune to increase the income of the indebted village collective. In March 2022, Luguanzhuang Village signed a cooperation agreement with Linshu Jinfeng Commune on "Dual Cooperatives". According to the agreement, the village party branch led the cooperatives to transfer and integrate cultivated land, entrusted to Linshu Jinfeng Commune, and on the basis of guaranteeing the guaranteed income and production cost of 800 yuan per mu per mu of farmers' land per year, the income generated by the farmers, village collectives, cooperatives and Jinfeng Commune was distributed according to the agreed proportion.
"The 'double cooperative' model is convenient for land intensification, canceling the ridges and production roads, and the advanced plant protection machinery can be used after the plot is 'turned into a whole' to achieve resource conservation, agricultural efficiency and farmers' income. Dong Shutong said, for example, Luguanzhuang Village will 1,560 acres of land and Jinfeng Commune joint venture, that year per mu income of 2,850 yuan, deducting 800 yuan per mu of fixed income, 1,050 yuan of agricultural production input costs, per mu to achieve a profit of 1,000 yuan, truly realize "farmers leave their hometowns without losing land, do not plant to increase income."
The way out for agriculture lies in science and technology, and the power of leadership comes from innovation. The model of "double community alliance and wild goose array co-construction" explored by Linshu Jinfeng Commune has been promoted throughout the city. Last year, Linshu County developed a total of 35 "double cooperative" villages, driving a land management area of more than 21,000 mu and increasing the collective income of the village by 1.87 million yuan.
Dong Shutong and his Linshu Jinfeng Commune have played a role in the innovation, leadership and driving of the "wild goose array", allowing more high-quality farmers such as family farmers, returning entrepreneurs and cooperative leaders to participate in agricultural socialization services, helping more farmers to "hold hands" with modern agriculture, and bringing new hope for the future of agriculture and rural revitalization.
