"At that time, the potatoes planted were already eliminated varieties, and every autumn harvest, they were facing the problem of slow sales, and the wheat planted yielded more than 100 catties per mu, the annual purchase price was about 0.8 yuan, and the per capita income of the villagers was less than 2210 yuan." Li Xiaofei, first secretary of Dananfang Village and leader of the task force in Xijingzi Town, Shangdu County, Wulanchabu City, said.

In 2017, Li Xiaofei went to Dananfang Village as the first secretary and team leader of Dananfang Village, and when he took office, it was the spring sowing season, in order to increase the income of the villagers, he and the members of the "two committees" of the village decided to adjust the crop planting structure. "At that time, the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau had a dryland mulching kidney bean project, which subsidized more than 100 yuan per mu. We calculated that if the farmers planted, they would not be able to lose money with state project subsidies, so they could try. Li Xiaofei told reporters.

When planting began, the villagers were inexperienced and not good at management, and the drought in the field caused some kidney beans to die. Later, with the strong support of the township party committee and government, the village hired technicians from the county agricultural science bureau and held 4 practical training courses on kidney bean planting. With professional training and guidance, the villagers are more confident, the whole village planted more than 2,000 acres of kidney beans that year, the harvest is good, and each acre of land can produce nearly 300 catties.

A good harvest has to sell for a good price. At the beginning, the sales were mainly through small traders to the village at a price of 2.3-2.5 yuan per kilogram for acquisition, and later under the introduction of many parties, Li Xiaofei contacted Hebei COFCO Group and established a long-term cooperative relationship, at a price of more than 3 yuan per kilogram to the village committee courtyard for fixed-point acquisition. "The original annual income per mu of wheat was less than 200 yuan, and now after planting kidney beans, it can increase the income by at least 500-1000 yuan per mu." Li Xiaofei introduced to reporters.

At present, kidney bean cultivation has become the leading industry in the village, helping the villagers to live a prosperous life.
