Guojiazhaizi Village, Taiping Street, according to local conditions, excavates the potential of the land in an all-round and multi-way way, and explores a new model of combining planting and breeding, so that "one acre and three points of land" can achieve multiple benefits.
In April, everything grows. As soon as I walked into the rice frog breeding base in Guojiazhai Village, Taiping Street, I heard the sound of "quack" frogs, one after another. As far as the eye can see, the rice frog fields are divided into 38 small squares by wire mesh, and black spotted frogs are squatting on the shore. In the paddy fields in the middle, groups of freshly stocked tadpoles swim freely.
"We choose the black spotted frog variety, mainly because its market demand is relatively high, its food value and nutritional value is relatively high, the market demand is particularly large, and after the frog is grown, we don't have to worry about the sale, so there are professional digging, come to our site, so that all of them are taken away at one time. Guo Bo, secretary of the Party branch of Guojiazhaizi Village, introduced.
As an ordinary rural village in Hedong District, Guojiazhai Village has always been limited by land, with no industry and no collective income in the village. In November 2022, Guojiazhai established the first wholly-owned holding cooperative of the party branch in Linyi City, and signed an order breeding agreement with Zhenyuan Special Breeding Cooperative in Luozhuang District under the leadership of Zhang Zhaofeng and Liu Lulu, the first secretaries of the village, to introduce a pilot comprehensive planting and breeding project of black spotted frog breeding in rice fields.
Zhang Zhaofeng, the first secretary of the village, told reporters: "Why did you choose this rice-frog symbiosis project, his land is not restricted, and you can do this project using basic farmland. ”
"Rice-frog co-cropping" is a circular ecological planting and breeding model, black spotted frogs eat insects to achieve the purpose of preventing and controlling crop pests, and their excrement is natural organic fertilizer, which can improve soil fertility. At the same time, the rice grown in the field can provide shade and rest for the growth of black spotted frogs, which not only improves the quality of crops and aquatic products, but also reduces agricultural non-point source pollution. It has truly achieved "one field for two purposes, one mu for double harvest".
Guo Bo, secretary of the Party branch of Guojiazhaizi Village, said: "Last year, because we started breeding in the first year, the experience is not very sufficient, the yield per mu is about 1,500 catties, after a year of breeding, including through all aspects of learning, this year we are very confident that the yield per mu can reach more than 2,000 catties, in this way, the output value can be more than 300,000 yuan, and the village collective income can increase by more than 120,000 yuan." ”
Now that the project is in place, the village collective has an income, and the villagers have a place to work close to home.
Hu Xiuqi, a villager, said happily: "I'm getting older, and I don't want to work at home, so it's good to be convenient, close to home, and still earn money!"
The field is still the same field, and the change in the concept of farming has brought about a change in benefits, and it has also allowed more and more villagers to see the "money" scene of "frog and rice co-cropping". The villagers also want to join the cooperative and raise frogs and grow rice to increase their income.
Guo Bo, secretary of the Party branch of Guojiazhaizi Village, said: "In the next step, we will continue to expand the scale and continue to expand 30 frog ponds in the form of villagers' shares, so as to collectively drive their villagers and increase their income." ”
In recent years, Taiping Street attaches great importance to increasing the collective income of the village, and has established the Taiping Street Ecological Agriculture Association to actively promote the development of industrial projects of cooperatives led by the village party branch and increase the collective income of the village through multiple channels.
Xu Yunlong, chairman of the Taiping Street Ecological Agriculture Association, said: "It has cooperated with Shandong Lufeng Group, District Agricultural Development and District Supply and Marketing Cooperatives to reach agricultural industry chain projects and improved seed cultivation projects, with more than 4,000 acres of land transferred and an annual increase of more than 80 yuan in village-level income. In 2024, the cooperatives led by the party branch of Taiping Street will continue to increase investment attraction efforts to revitalize the beautiful countryside with industry. ”
