After the field harvest, the vehicle full of rice drove to the Yin Zhen grain and oil processing plant in Wangcao Town, Suiyang County, and poured into the rice drying equipment under the operation of the staff.
The rice drying equipment effectively solves the problem of difficulty in drying grain for grain growers, ensures the return of rice particles to the warehouse, and also drives the large-scale planting of rice, which effectively guarantees food security.
"The rice harvested every day will be sent to the processing plant for drying as soon as possible, and the dried rice has more accurate water content, better quality, easier preservation, and greatly avoids the risks of piling up to dry and being affected by weather changes. At the same time, the drying equipment of the processing plant is also serviced, as long as the volume of rice reaches more than 6 tons, you can choose to come here for processing. Liu Xiaosan, head of Guizhou Fengnong Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. Wangcao Grain and Oil Demonstration Base, said that in addition to rice processing, Wangcao Yinzhen grain and oil processing plant also has rice processing equipment and rapeseed oil processing equipment, good harvest and technical support, greatly increasing the company's confidence in development, and the planting area will be expanded in the coming year.
In recent years, with the continuous progress of agricultural technology, agricultural machinery has replaced the "face of the loess back to the sky" of the work scene, harvesters have become the "main force" of the autumn harvest field operations, a large number of agricultural machinery is active in the field, for the rice harvest press the "fast forward button", full of rice vehicles come and go, a good harvest of gratifying scene.
"Mechanized harvesting has the advantages of saving time, effort and cost, and a harvester works 8 hours a day and harvests about 30 acres. At present, the rice of Wangcao Dam has been harvested, and the transplanting of rapeseed seedlings is currently underway. Gao Mingfei, head of Xingmin Agricultural Machinery Cooperative in Wangcao Town, told reporters.
Suiyang County is rich in cultivated land resources, sitting on 4 dams of 10,000 mu, known as the "granary of northern Qianbei". In recent years, Suiyang County has strictly implemented the strategy of "storing grain on the ground and storing grain in technology", continued to strengthen the construction of high-standard farmland, actively promoted high-quality rice varieties in grain and oil production, and implemented whole-process mechanized operations in planting, management and harvesting, so as to effectively promote agricultural efficiency, increase the income of the masses, and help rural revitalization.

Honeysuckle harvesting
In recent years, Xiaoguancun has built honeysuckle into a characteristic industry of "one village, one product" as a supporting industry for villagers to get rich and well-off and strengthen the village-level collective economy.
Through the establishment of the honeysuckle industry chain, the whole village takes honeysuckle planting as the leader, bee breeding and ecological chicken breeding as the honeysuckle industry, and the honeysuckle industry drives rural tourism as the help, forming a good situation of the industrial chain of "flower economy" and "flower economy". At present, the honeysuckle planting in the village has reached more than 9,000 acres, nearly 3 acres of honeysuckle per capita, and the average household income has increased by more than 20,000 yuan.
In Suiyang, in addition to honeysuckle, Zunyi Jinlei Honeysuckle Agricultural Industry Development Co., Ltd., funded by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Suiyang County, is also committed to the development, production and sales of honeysuckle seedlings and planting, honeysuckle flower tea and other derivative products. The small honeysuckle flowers not only knocked on the "door to get rich" for the masses and brought "real money", but also converged into a road of rural revitalization with industrial ecology and ecological industrialization.
According to Cao Shengcheng, general manager of the company, honeysuckle, because of its shade and cold resistance, good economic benefits, high medicinal value and health care use, is widely regarded as one of the characteristic industries that help farmers increase income and boost the economic development of the county. With people's attention to health preservation, the market demand for honeysuckle products is becoming increasingly strong, and enterprises have seized this opportunity to actively expand sales channels and realize online and offline two-wheel drive.
It is understood that Suiyang County has planted honeysuckle for more than 40 years, and at present, Suiyang County has a honeysuckle planting area of 242,500 mu, a flowering area of 150,000 mu, 68 honeysuckle processing plants, 1 honeysuckle industrial park, 6 deep processing enterprises such as Bailing Biotechnology, 6 honeysuckle municipal leading enterprises, and more than 25 registered trademarks.

Recently, it is the season when the horn times are mature, and when I walked into the gallnut industry demonstration base in Honghe Village, Kuankuan Town, Suiyang County, the red and green sac-shaped horn times were "gathered" in groups on the branches of the salt skin wood, and the villagers put the horn times into the back basket one by one, and after a while, they were loaded with horns and poured into the tricycle and transported to the warehouse in the village.
"I have more than a dozen acres of my own planting, and I don't have to worry about selling them to the cooperatives in the village, and I earn 2,000 yuan per mu. We are harvesting here these days, and we still have a salary of 100 yuan a day! Ni Guohui, 68 years old this year, said that the gallnut harvest period is generally from early October to mid-October, pruning, hanging insect bags, harvesting, and spending about half a year on the industry every year, and the rest of the time can also be done odd jobs.
It is understood that in 2017, Honghe Village, Kuankuan Town, relying on its resource advantages, vigorously developed the gallic industry. At the beginning, Honghe Village purchased aphids from Zhangjiajie in Hunan, Youyang in Chongqing, Emei in Sichuan and other places, and transported them long distances, resulting in high production costs. In 2019, with the help of the expert team of the Guizhou Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the County Forestry Bureau, Honghe Village began to build its own pilot base integrating moss bed cultivation, insect breeding and seedling planting. At present, the village has planted more than 4,000 acres of Beilin, covering more than 400 households in the village; Nearly 30,000 bags of aphids have been cultivated, and 350 acres of trees have been planted, with an estimated output of about 35 tons and an output value of about 1.1 million yuan.
Gallnut harvesting
Under the matchmaking of the Provincial Academy of Forestry, the village signed an agreement with Guiyang Beilong Biotechnology Co., Ltd., which purchased dry products at a guaranteed price, so that the sales were guaranteed. At present, the gallic industry in Honghe Village has begun to take shape, and the double seed has been supplied to the Chongqing market.
According to Chongqing's Youyang County Huadong poultry breeding professional cooperative member Ran Huadong introduced, the local gallnut industry has broad prospects, this year the supply of double is in short supply, the cooperative development of more than 200 acres of gallnut urgently need to double the cultivation of aphids, this time he is at a price of 13 yuan per catty to buy a total of 600 catties of double seeds.
If you want to increase the production of gallnut, you have to raise aphids. Halophyllum is the host plant of the gallic aphid, and the small insect bag hanging on the tree is the key to the "growth" of the gallnut. When the bag is hung, the aphids inside will quickly climb up the young branches of the sake, suck up the sap of the leaves, and secrete an enzyme that causes the leaf cells to proliferate. In about a week, the proliferating leaf cells wrap around the aphids to form "galls", or gallnuts.
In the past few days, Ni Yongsheng, a technician of the village cooperative, has been shuttling through the forest like the villagers, carefully selecting and multiplying the seeds, and preparing for the next year's insect bags. "The selection of multiplication is early, and the aphids are not yet ripe; The selection is late, and the aphids break the 'double' and fly away, and the selection is just right these days. Harvest it and put it on the edge of the moss, it will naturally fly to the moss to cultivate, and in February and March next year, the aphids will be harvested for breeding, and then concentrated in the insect bag for breeding, and the insect bag can be hung on the tree in April. Ni Yongsheng said.
"In the next step, we will continue to improve our technology, make further efforts in the cultivation of aphids, crop diseases and pest control, etc., and continue to consolidate the existing industry. At the same time, we will improve the level of operation and management, strive in the direction of branding and scale, and continue to improve quality and efficiency. We will further broaden the ideas of industrial construction, integrate resource projects, explore new development paths, promote industrial linkage development, and draw a new picture of rural areas. Ren Hongwei, the first secretary of Honghe Village, said.
