"This plant grows well, it has four buds." On December 12, Wu Quanlao, the director of the Lusen Family Forest Farm in Chengnan Town, Ninghua County, and the technicians of the Town Agricultural Technology Station came to the Huangjing Seedling Base located in the bamboo kiln of Xikeng to inspect the growth of Huangjing.
Wu Quan is a large forestry household in Chengnan Town, operating mountain forests for decades, with more than 3,500 acres of timber forests such as fir, masson pine and moso bamboo. "In the past, there were lumber payments every day, and there were more than a hundred and twenty thousand at a time."
In the spring of 2013, at the suggestion of the county forestry bureau, he developed the under-forest economy and planted yellow essence in his own 200 acres of bamboo forest. In 2014, an ecological family forest farm was established to develop ecological forestry.
Yellow essence is a perennial medicinal material, planted in March, the first year of weeding and fertilization, the second year of fertilization again, the next day is "stocking", to be harvested after five years, because the mountain forest fertilizer is different, the yield is not close to the same, each kilogram of dry yellow essence is sold for more than 100 yuan.
"The growth time of the plant under the forest is too long, and the average income per mu is about 1,000 yuan, while a two-year seedling can sell for 2.6 to 2.8 yuan, or it is cost-effective to sell seedlings." Since 2016, Wu Quan Lao began to cultivate yellow essence seedlings for sale, breeding two or three acres every year, there are more than 60,000 seedlings, finished seedlings customers come to the door to buy, a year alone to sell seedlings there are more than 100,000 yuan, the income is also leveraged.
Wu Quan's old man did not forget the villagers, and his forest farm hired 6 precise poverty alleviation targets to work in recent years, and lei Zengrong, a poor household, was one of them.
"If you work for a day, you can get one hundred and twenty yuan, and you can earn six or seven thousand a year!" Lei Zengrong said.
"Now the state calls for green water and green mountains to be jinshan yinshan, mountain forests are mainly managed and maintained, forest logging has declined, and timber prices have also dropped a lot." This year, Wu Quan went to Hunan and Fuzhou, Jiangxi to inspect the August melon, intending to shift the focus of ecological family forest farm production from the mountains and forests to the fields. "Many of the ridge fields are not planted, and they are rented to grow August melons."
"Planted next spring, one mu can produce more than 750 kilograms of fruit in the following year, one kilogram can sell for more than 40 yuan, and the output value of one mu will be more than 30,000, and after 3 years, it will enter the peak production period, and one mu can produce nearly 2,500 kilograms of fruit, and then the income will be higher." Old Witch Power has an account in his heart.
In the early winter of this year, he rented 100 acres of ridged land. "Now that someone has been asked to turn the soil and tidy up the furrows, farmers will be asked to plant August melons starting in the spring of next year, which can also drive them to plant."
Chengnan Town has honeysuckle, edible mushrooms, passion fruit and other farmers' professional cooperatives, family farms, family forest farms and other new business entities 8, the town party committee and government pay attention to the main role of these agricultural entities, through the land circulation into the shares, absorb the surrounding precision poverty alleviation targets at the doorstep of the way, so that more than 60 poor people accurately out of poverty, per capita income increased by more than 5,000 yuan.
