In early summer, the weather is getting hotter, in Xiguan Village, Chengguan Town, 40 acres of greenhouse watermelons are about to ripen, and Han Zhiqiang, a fruit farmer, seizes the time to work hard in the field, giving birth to a bumper harvest in the new year.
Han Zhiqiang, a greenhouse grower in Xiguan Village, contracted 40 acres of land this year to be used exclusively for watermelon cultivation. Walking into the watermelon greenhouse planted by Han Zhiqiang, I saw watermelon vines spread all over the ground, and round watermelons emerged from between the leaves. With his cooperation, these thin-skinned, red-skinned "sweet king watermelons" were loaded onto trucks and sold all over the country.
"We planted Tianwang No. 1, a total of 26 greenhouses. In the later management, we use farmhouse fertilizer, which can ensure the quality of watermelon. In addition, there are technical experts who regularly come to guide and give timely suggestions to find the optimal solution suitable for our greenhouse watermelon planting. Nowadays, our melon skin is thin and thick, juicy and delicious, and is deeply loved by consumers. Because of the addition of planting technology, our melons can mature earlier on the market, so that they are 4 to 5 cents more expensive than ordinary watermelons, from the current market situation, the net profit of an acre of land may be about 4,000 yuan, and the estimated income of the entire greenhouse can reach about 120,000. Han Zhiqiang said happily.
In recent years, Xiguan Village, Chengguan Town, based on land resources, has driven villagers to increase their income and become rich, and helped rural revitalization with economies of scale.
In the tide of rural revitalization, Xiguancun is showing its unique vitality and charm. Xiguancun's resource-based initiative to encourage farmers to plant watermelons has become a vivid practice of rural revitalization. It gives new life and vitality to the land, and also allows the villagers to see a better future. It is believed that with the help of the watermelon industry, Xiguancun will continue to move forward on the road of rural revitalization and write a more brilliant chapter.
