The industry is the pillar, and there is a way out to get rich. Walking into the 48th group of Xuguang Village, Ganzhaomiao Town, bunches of red tomatoes hang on the vigorous vines. Bathed in the sun, it is full of life.
"In recent years, Xuguang Village, Ganzhaomiao Town, has vigorously developed characteristic agriculture, taking industry to rejuvenate the people as an important support for rural revitalization, and with the help of high-standard farmland rectification projects, it has promoted land circulation and formed 'one village, one product, one characteristic', so that the agricultural industry has become a new engine for enriching the people and strengthening the village." Shi Qiang, secretary of the party branch of Xuguang Village, said.
In 2024, all 23,000 acres of land in Xuguang Village will be rectified with high standards, and 6,000 acres of land will be transferred except for farmers' individual operations. The village has formed a concentrated continuous planting area of 2,400 acres of tomatoes, 8,000 acres of corn and 3,500 acres of sunflowers. Concentrated continuous planting not only increases the yield significantly, but also is conducive to the operation of agricultural machinery, facilitates the promotion of improved varieties and the management of four controls, saves agricultural costs, and increases farmers' income.
"Our tomatoes are particularly well sold because of their good shape, thick skin, bright color and fresh taste. In the early stage of planting, we signed a purchase and sales contract with Bayannur Weimei Food Co., Ltd., and there is no worry about planting. Lv Hailong, a large planter, said excitedly, "We are now planting in a concentrated and continuous manner, using water and fertilizer integration facilities, which is very convenient." When crops need to be watered, just put the water-soluble fertilizer in the bucket and turn the switch, 1000 acres of tomatoes 4-5 people will be watered in 2 days, and the seedlings can not only accurately 'drink water and eat fertilizer', but also improve the efficiency a lot. ”
In order to improve the economic benefits of tomato growers, the Agricultural Service Center of Ganzhaomiao Town took the lead in setting up a professional technical service team, organized professional knowledge and vocational skills training, and regularly carried out on-site technical guidance to provide farmers with the whole process and all-round guidance for tomato planting. "Now farming, all aspects of the policy are very good, if there is any problem in the growth process of crops, agricultural technicians at the district and town levels will come to the door to guide, which is really good." Lu Hailong said.
Also optimistic about the tomato market is grower Chen Liang. This year, his family planted 1,100 acres of tomatoes, and the superior light and heat conditions and modern planting management technology have significantly increased the yield of his family's tomatoes per mu, and it is expected that the conservative yield per mu can reach 6 to 7 tons. Looking at the tomatoes hanging all over the vines, Chen Liang raised his eyebrows: "In recent years, the price of tomatoes is good, and the varieties we use in our family have good plants, excellent fruits and good commerciality, and I hope that this year can usher in a bumper harvest year." ”
Industrial development is the foundation for the masses to increase their income and become rich and realize rural revitalization. In the next step, Ganzhaomiao Town will continue to optimize the layout of industrial development, launch the "tomato" golden signboard, explore and improve the mechanism of linking agriculture with farmers and rich peasants, drum up the "money bags" of the masses to increase income and get rich, and consolidate the industrial foundation of rural revitalization.
