"Good grain" is produced by good policies
On April 9, Zhupodi Village, Danzhu Town, Changzi County.
Wang Haifeng, the person in charge of Lufeng Planting Co., Ltd., was dressed in a camouflage uniform and worked in the fields of the spring breeze. Sometimes he lay on the ground to inspect the millet seedlings that had just broken through the soil, and sometimes he got up and gently picked up a hoe to remove the weeds in the field, and his dark face was full of happy smiles.
For Wang Haifeng, these tender green seedlings are the hope of the new year.
Can millet be grown in Changzi County?
Can you grow good millet?
Last year, Wang Haifeng transferred more than 200 acres of cultivated land to the hills near the village for experimentation, and the results were very successful.
After the autumn, he summed up three successful experiences: first, the hilly environment is suitable for millet growth, second, the technical support from the expert team of the Shanxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and third, the county's strong support for the high-quality development of agriculture.
200 acres of millet, 100,000 catties of output, 1 million yuan income. This was an eye-opener for the old local farmers, who were accustomed to growing vegetables and corn in the plains and disdained the hills and mountains.
While the iron was hot, Wang Haifeng established Lufeng Planting Co., Ltd., purchased millet processing and production equipment, and created the "Jingu Danzhuhuang" millet brand, which sold well in the market.
After last autumn, experts suggested that Wang Haifeng develop winter sowing millet in the local area, and he was full of confidence and expanded the area to 300 acres. "With the policy support of the county, we have the confidence to grow grain. Wang Haifeng said.
"Good grain" comes from good policies. In 2023, the finance of Changzi County will allocate nearly 100 million yuan to subsidize 27 aspects, including large grain growers, soybean planting, soybean and corn strip compound planting, seed and seedling breeding, recultivation and replanting of abandoned land, plastic film recycling, and facility vegetables. Pilot soybean planting income insurance and characteristic planting insurance, and gradually improve the protection of farmers' planting income.
"Good grain" is produced in a good environment
Spring is in full swing and hope is rising.
In the greenhouses of the Danxi Longxin Modern Agricultural Demonstration Park in Changzi County, groups of workers are picking fresh and tender peppers. After screening and packaging, these high-quality peppers will be sent to the markets in Beijing, Guangdong and other places.
As one of the pioneers in Changzi County specializing in the cultivation of high-quality green peppers, Li Shenggui comes here every day for technical guidance. Although he has passed on what he has learned all his life to his son Li Qiang, Li Shenggui has a different kind of dedication to the traditional agricultural advantage project of Daqingjiao, the eldest son county.
"The county proposed to revive the glory of the 'hometown of China's big green peppers', and my heart was sweeter than drinking honey. "Thinking of the beginning of the business, relying on simple technology accumulation and pioneering spirit, "eldest son big green pepper" and "expensive mobile greenhouse" are famous all over the country. Nowadays, a variety of greenhouses with more mature technology, better quality green pepper varieties, and more sound service guarantee measures have allowed Li Shenggui to see a more brilliant future for the first-born facility agriculture.
In recent years, Changzi County has vigorously developed "one county and one industry" with modern facility agriculture as the carrier, and has continuously promoted the speed, file and quality of the agricultural industry. It has successively introduced a series of policies and measures such as the "Implementation Plan for the Whole Industry Chain Service of the Green (Sharp) Pepper Industry in Changzi County" to encourage and support modern facility agriculture, and adopt the method of "two superpositions + three subsidy" to carry out all-round rewards and subsidies for the green (sharp) pepper industry, and a total of 260 million yuan of awards and subsidies will be allocated in 2023 alone. In 2023, more than 3,300 greenhouses with high-standard facilities will be newly developed in the county, and the sowing area of green (sharp) peppers will be increased by 20,200 mu, and the cumulative sowing area will reach 50,200 mu.
In the seedling base of Yitian Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., which is separated by a wall from Danxi Longxin Modern Agricultural Demonstration Park, it is also a hot scene.
Trays of thriving vegetable seedlings are packed into trucks and transported to the surrounding areas. As the largest vegetable seedling base in Changzi County, Yitian Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. covers an area of more than 120 acres, with an annual output of more than 30 million vegetable seedlings, and is a leading agricultural enterprise in Changzi County.
Talking about the prosperity of the company, employee Zhang Yuyu was full of emotion. "You can get a job right on your doorstep and the income is good. If the countryside wants to be strong, how can it be done without industry?" Zhang Yuyu said.
However, what Zhang Yuyu may not know is that behind the "quiet years" in her view, there is a strong support and excellent environment for agricultural development provided by the county. Yitian Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. took a fancy to the superior water and soil conditions and development environment of the eldest son to settle here, and rose rapidly in just a few years.
"Good grain" is produced with good security
Only by injecting "stabilizers" into agriculture can we eat the "reassurance" of food security.
Natural disasters and major agricultural pests and diseases are huge risks to agricultural development. In order to effectively increase disaster prevention and mitigation efforts, Changzi County learned from the experience and practice of Guangzhou's "Happy Farming Law", strengthened the meteorological early warning of natural disasters, paid close attention to weather changes, and adopted measures such as soil insulation, reasonable top dressing, scientific watering, and reinforcement and heat preservation to prevent "inverted spring cold" and greenhouse snow disasters.
At the same time, Changzi County continues to strengthen the quality supervision of agricultural products, in-depth development of agricultural materials to fight counterfeiting and edible agricultural products "treatment of contraband, control of drug residues, promote the promotion of special supervision and law enforcement work, the full implementation of the quality of agricultural products "two blacklist" system, commitment to meet the standard certificate system, to ensure that the county's agricultural market is legal and compliant, the production base of drug standardization and safety.
Let farmers feel at ease and make agriculture safe. Changzi County continues to enrich agricultural insurance products, and in view of the characteristics and risks of grain production, on the basis of grain policy insurance, it has launched new insurance types such as winter sowing grain income insurance and price insurance, corn cost insurance, sorghum characteristic insurance, and wheat complete cost insurance, and continuously expanded the coverage of agricultural insurance, with a policy-based insurance participation rate of 100% and a commercial insurance participation rate of 40%.
