"Post-90s" returnees become "new farmers"

The base covers an area of 20 hectares, with 14 high-tech solar greenhouses and 10 hectares of organic fertilizer test fields;

50 hectares of land transferred, 20 hectares of green organic rice, 10 hectares of sticky corn, 10 hectares of wheat and 10 hectares of soybeans;

1,086 pigs, 3,280 laying hens, and 2,120 white geese;

In 2023, the sales volume will be 70.62 million yuan, and he will be awarded the title of high-quality farmer in Jilin Province.

This is the pastoral "answer sheet" handed over by Li Ziyuan, a "post-90s" returnee in Yitong Manchu Autonomous County, in 2023. For this "answer sheet", she said, there is still a long way to go.

The key to rural revitalization lies in people. In 2017, Li Ziyuan graduated from Royal Holloway, University of London, and before 2018, she was a returnee and a top student, and now she is a "new farmer". From a returnee to a "new farmer", she relied on new technologies, new ideas, and new thinking to develop agriculture and lead the villagers to become rich.

"At that time, when I was studying abroad, I came into contact with some foreign agricultural models, and a few people in foreign farms can manage thousands of acres of farms, so I wanted to lead the villagers to make efficient and ecological farms and improve the income of villagers. With this rustic idea, Li Ziyuan returned to his hometown.

In a sense, Li Ziyuan is the "second generation", because her parents themselves are "new farmers" who dare to fight. As the general manager of Yitong Manchu Autonomous County Jiayue Ecological Agriculture Technology Development Co., Ltd., Li Ziyuan is responsible for the overall operation and management, formulating the company's business objectives, development plans, developing technological innovation, project development, and brand creation.

On April 21, walking into the vegetable greenhouse of Jiayue Ecological Agriculture Company, a ridge of cucumbers hung with vine branches, and yellow flowers dotted in the meantime, green and attractive, fragrant, a gratifying harvest scene.

"Why does everyone like your produce?"

"The recognition of the product comes from the management of the park, we use traditional methods of planting and breeding, applying organic fertilizer, and retaining the original nutrition of crops. Li Ziyuan briefed reporters. The company has always insisted on not using herbicides, using a large number of organic fertilizers, and using biological agents to combine plant protection and physical prevention and control, so that everyone can eat assured food.

When it comes to agricultural knowledge, Li Zi is the first to go. In the past few years since returning to his hometown to start a business, Li Ziyuan deeply feels that the entrepreneurial environment around him is getting better and better, the policies are getting better and better, and the support given by the government is also getting stronger and stronger. One person is not rich, everyone is rich. In addition to the initial success of his personal career, Li Ziyuan hopes to drive more farmers to get rich together.

"We adopt the 'merchant + farmer' cooperation method to give seeds and organic fertilizer to surrounding cooperatives and farmers, and bring stable income to farmers by driving villagers to standardize planting and ensure the recovery of finished products. Li Ziyuan said.

Relying on the scale of operation, taking the connection of interests as the link, and driving the reasonable division of labor through the leading enterprises, each member has a clear functional positioning, which promotes the integrated development of local agricultural industrialization, drives local economic development and leads farmers to get rich together.

"Do it for the farmers, take the farmers to do it, and help the farmers make money. Li Ziyuan has added vitality and impetus to rural revitalization.

"We have more than 20 permanent workers in Dongsong Village, with an average monthly salary of more than 3,000 yuan, and temporary workers ranging from 100 to 150 yuan per day. ”

Li Ziyuan not only pays attention to planting, but also pays special attention to the integrated development of secondary and tertiary industries. Focusing on the advantages of agricultural resources, we should make the chain longer, and make a fuss about "grain heads and food tails, agricultural heads and workers' tails, and livestock heads and meat tails," and vigorously develop the processing industry of special agricultural products.

"In the next three years, we will accelerate the development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries, promote industrial integration, improve comprehensive agricultural productivity, and provide a high-quality development platform for hometown entrepreneurship and employment talents. Build a Jiayue Ecological Park integrating sightseeing, barbecue camping, leisure fishing, fruit and vegetable picking, ice and snow park, research and education, and help rural revitalization. When it comes to the future, Li Ziyuan is full of confidence.
