Jingyang cantaloupe harvest rich peasant family

Recently, in Gao Village, Anwu Town, Jingyang County, Xianyang City, the farmers planted a bumper harvest of cantaloupe. On July 5, villager Fan Shuangxi packed the cantaloupes into boxes and prepared to transport them to the village's unified cantaloupe receiving point. "This year, 30 mu of 'Xizhou honey' cantaloupe was planted, with a yield of about 4,000 kilograms per mu, calculated according to the current market price of 10 yuan per kilogram, and the gross income per mu of land is estimated to be about 40,000 yuan." Fan Shuangxi said, "We learned from the experience of the xiaowei vegetable professional cooperative planting base, and all the harvested cantaloupes were sent back to the cooperative and sold by the cooperative." ”

In 2020, under the leadership of Lv Xiaowei, chairman of Xiaowei Vegetable Professional Cooperative, and combined with the actual situation of the village, the "Xizhou honey" cantaloupe introduced cantaloupe can be planted with tomatoes, and high-quality varieties such as "Kucha" and "Jin Xiuse" with good planting, good management and high yield were also introduced. The economic benefits of cantaloupe are significantly higher than those of ordinary crops, which has given the villagers hope and promoted the development of local agricultural industrialization.

"Our cantaloupes are medium in size, crisp and juicy, highly sweet, and don't worry about selling!" Villager Fan Shuangxi has been growing cantaloupe for two years. "I haven't planted melons in the past, but after experts teach me by hand, we are now considered to be 'technicians'!" Fan Shuangxi said.

The melon seedlings in the greenhouse are strong, and the round cantaloupes are hanging on the vines, and the faint melon fragrance comes to the nose. Today, in Gaocun, ready-made land, ready-made greenhouses, and ready-made technology make local villagers eager to try. Villager Sun Fei and others plan to plant cantaloupe in their greenhouses as well. In addition, the Gaocun Village Committee and the Xiaowei Vegetable Professional Cooperative have implemented unified enterprise management for peasant households, and the village committee has increased their collective income, and the peasant households have also increased their incomes and become rich.
