"More than 200 were sold during the National Day holiday, otherwise there would have been more." Huo Youhua said. This valley of more than 200 acres is a mountainous land that he and his brother circulate together, who is responsible for afforestation of seedlings and he is responsible for breeding and increasing income. Last year, he signed an order breeding agreement with Fulaixi Goose Industry and raised more than 10,000 white geese in Shuxian County. The white goose was basketed in 5 months and repurchased by Fulaixi Goose Industry, with an output value of more than 40,000 yuan.

Although Huo Youhua has limited mobility, he is a diligent person who loves to toss. After dividing the fields into households, because he could not do farm work, he changed more than two acres of responsible land into a fish pond, beat grass and fed fish every day, and at the end of the year, the income from selling fish in the dry pond was used as the family's expenses. In addition to raising fish, Huo Youhua also raises chickens and ducks, but there is no funds, no technology, all of them are small fights, and the income can only maintain family life.
In 2019, the Yanling County Disabled Persons' Federation mobilized Huo Youhua to participate in the "Sunshine Income Increase" training for the disabled, systematically learned breeding techniques, and gave him 110 duck seedlings. The poverty alleviation task force is also very concerned about Huo Youhua's development of aquaculture industry, helping him to contact Fulaixi Goose Industry to sign an order breeding agreement to expand the scale of breeding.
In order to carry out ecological breeding, Huo Youhua and his brother transferred a barren mountain in the village, while reclaiming the wilderness and cultivating forests, while developing a variety of breeding. This year, Huo Youhua raised more than 1,000 ducks, more than 600 geese, more than 100 chickens, plus more than 2 acres of fish ponds, and at the end of the year, it is another gratifying figure.

Seeing that Huo Youhua was engaged in breeding to get rid of poverty and get rich, many rural neighbors moved their hearts and joined the industry of order breeding. In order to improve farming technology and drive his neighbors to get rich together, Huo Youhua bought a smart phone and asked his nephew to teach him to surf the Internet. He joined the "Flaiss Breeding Industry Exchange Information Group" to exchange breeding experience with farmers in the WeChat group and understand the white goose market. Huo Youhua, who only has a primary school education, also learned breeding techniques through the Douyin video - "Plantain can prevent intestinal diseases and respiratory diseases, and promote the healthy growth of chickens." "With good opening medicine, you can prevent Salmonella."
"Thanks to the party's good policies, thanks to the care of the Disabled Persons' Federation, thanks to the help of the poverty alleviation task force, let my family get rid of poverty and become rich, and also make my life full of sunshine and self-confidence!" Huo Youhua said these words in the Yanling dialect, and then sounded the horn of the tricycle and rushed to help his brother, who was harvesting in the fields in autumn, to carry the rice home.
