In the spring of April in Linyi County, walking into the Hongkun Family Farm in Yishui County, more than 350 acres of peach trees are growing gratifyingly, and there are yellow peaches that are growing vigorously in the dense branches and leaves. "Every year when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, especially on weekends, there are many tourists who come to take pictures. Li Guiquan, the person in charge of the farm, told reporters that in March, the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and many tourists passing by the peach orchard checked in and took pictures, which earned a lot of popularity for the subsequent yellow peach picking in advance.
As an authentic Linyi person, Li Guiquan inherited the hard-working and indomitable spiritual character of the Yimeng people. She loves agriculture, takes root in the countryside, dares to think and do, dares to fight, and drives the development of a rural industry with diligence and wisdom.
Li Guiquan has many years of experience in yellow peach planting, with the advantage of Yishui as one of the top 100 fruit counties in the country, and the market consumption trend, he invested 7 million yuan to establish Hongkun Family Farm in Yishui County, which is mainly engaged in high-quality yellow peach planting and beef cattle breeding. At present, the farm covers an area of 500 acres, including 350 acres of yellow peach planting base, 150 acres of beef cattle breeding base, with an annual production of more than 1,500 tons of yellow peaches, more than 1,000 beef cattle in stock, and 800 beef cattle slaughtered annually, realizing income all year round. Registered the product trademarks of "Guiquan" and "Guiquan Beef Cattle", opened an online direct sales store, and adopted the business model of "online reservation and offline distribution", which further improved the popularity of agricultural products.
"In the management of peach orchards, we adhere to the concept of green ecology, and use organic fertilizers for cultivation and fertilization, so that peaches are naturally not sold. Li Guiquan told reporters that since the establishment of the farm, with the characteristics of green, healthy and safe products, it has been favored by the majority of consumers, and has successfully certified the supply base of high-quality agricultural products in the central city of the Linyi Mayor's Triangle, and has been rated as a provincial demonstration farm for family farms.
The farm actively explores the green planting and breeding cycle mode, and the beef cattle manure is fermented by accumulating bacteria to produce organic fertilizer, which is used as fertilizer for peach trees, realizing a virtuous cycle of planting and breeding. "We raise our own cattle on our farm, and at the same time, we have reached cooperation agreements with many surrounding breeding enterprises to recycle livestock and poultry manure resources for a long time as composting raw materials. Li Guiquan said. Through the application of organic fertilizer, the yellow peaches produced by Hongkun Family Farm have a strong aroma, sweet and delicious, and "Golden Crisp" won the winning award in the provincial late-maturing peach competition.
As a member of the city's "Hongyan" talents, Li Guiquan's career is getting bigger and bigger, but she has not forgotten her original intention, took the initiative to act, and actively fed back to the villagers. The farm pays 480,000 yuan in land transfer fees every year to ensure the stable income of 220 rural households, and purchases 1,600 acres of corn and peanut straw from surrounding villages as green fodder to feed beef cattle. The park employs 80 people daily, and more than 100 people are employed daily during the peak season such as picking and harvesting, bringing real income to the surrounding people. At the same time, through the provision of information, teaching technology and other means, the surrounding villages have been driven to develop 1,200 acres of peach orchards and more than 100 acres of peach trees in greenhouses, and the surrounding villagers have been driven to engage in beef cattle breeding, with 17 beef cattle farmers with more than 200 heads and 60 beef cattle farmers with more than 50 heads, forming a strong "wild goose array" effect.
On the road of agriculture, Li Guiquan has endless ups and downs, but fighting in the field of hope of agriculture, the belief of "don't do it if you don't do it, do it well" has never changed.
