Dahan Village, Heishui Town: Spring farming tea is just in time

Villagers plant tea seedlings.

On March 14, in the tea planting base of the 9 groups of small ditches (small place names) in Dahan Village, Youyang Heishui Town, dozens of villagers were busy carrying and planting tea seedlings on the wasteland and barren mountains while grabbing farmers.

"I started to work at the base the day before yesterday (March 12), and I used to work in a stainless steel factory in Hefei, Anhui Province, but I have not yet left for work due to the epidemic." Ran Yong, a villager in the 4th group of Dahan Village, said that he worked at the base and could earn 80 yuan a day.

"Recently, more than 90 villagers have been working every day, of which about 30% are poor households." According to Shi Lei, director of the Dahan Village Villagers Committee, since last year, relying on the advantages of local transportation, ecological environment, climate and other advantages, the village has decided to take the tea industry as a breakthrough in the poverty alleviation industry, adopt the model of "village collective + farmer", transfer more than 250 mu of land (of which more than 80 mu are poor households) to plant tea trees, and the villagers have achieved sustained and stable income increase through land rent, base work, benefit dividends, etc.

It is understood that the development of the village's tea industry, for the local surplus labor force to provide a large number of employment opportunities, as of now, the tea base has reached more than 1,000 person-times, a total of more than 80,000 yuan in labor wages, completed more than 150 acres (10 hectares) of tea plant planting, is expected to complete all planting tasks at the end of this month.
