The corn grown on 19 acres of Huo Shouyi's family is all used as pig feed.
Huo Shouyi, a poor household in Haixing Village, Hongxing Town, Acheng District, has become a big pig farmer in the village, not only getting rid of poverty and embarking on the road to prosperity, but also taking the initiative to teach breeding techniques and drive other villagers to raise pigs together to increase income.
It was the autumn harvest, and the yard of Huo Shouyi's family was piled high with corn that had just been recovered from the field. According to the help cadres of the town government, Huo Shouyi's family has 19 acres of land, planted with corn, and used as feed for pigs. In the two pig houses in the front and back yards, there are 113 pigs of various sizes.
"Now the days are getting better and better, but not in the past few years, there have been many famines, thanks to the help of the cadres." Huo Shouyi's daughter-in-law Li Shuxia spoke quickly.
Huo Shouyi and Li Shuxia are not in good health, can not go out to work, the family mainly rely on this 19 acres of land to maintain their lives, Huo Shouyi also often take medicine, the family borrowed a lot of debt, life is very difficult. After his family was identified as a poor household with the help of the town and village help cadres, he borrowed 30,000 yuan from the credit cooperative to build a pig house, determined to get rid of poverty and get rich by raising pigs.
Through several years of development, huo Shouyi's pig inventory has been increasing, from the original 1 to dozens, and then to more than 100 today, becoming a veritable pig farmer.
"Outsiders only saw that Huo Shouyi's family's life was getting better and better, but they didn't know how old Huo's two sons did it and how much hard work they paid." Li Xiaohong, director of the Poverty Alleviation Office of Hongxing Town, was deeply touched by this. Raising pigs is a dirty and tiring job, every day to remove manure to clean up the pig house, the smell is big, the average person really can't do it. Pig raising is a technical job, it is necessary to disinfect the pig house regularly, and when to vaccinate the pigs should be mastered. When the sow gives birth, it is necessary to stay by the sow's side day and night, otherwise the piglets will be easily crushed to death...
Over the past few years, Huo Shouyi bought a lot of books on pig raising for self-study, and he really couldn't understand it, so he went to the town agricultural technology center to consult professionals, and then explored in practice, and the pigs raised weighed more than 300 pounds. After getting rid of poverty in 2017, the pig prices in recent years were good, which increased Huo Shouyi's confidence in raising pigs, and the annual income reached more than 100,000 yuan. This year, the town and village help cadres also suggested that his family develop a courtyard economy, raise dozens of chickens, and now that they have grown up, they can be sold around New Year's Day, and they can also increase their income.
After Huo Shouyi raised pigs to get rich, he did not forget to lead the villagers to get rich together, and he took the initiative to teach pig raising technology to the villagers who wanted to raise pigs in the village. "Without the government's targeted poverty alleviation policy, there would be no our family today." Draught water does not forget to dig wells, our family is grateful to the party and the government in the eyes of the heart, we must raise pigs well, and run a well-off life with everyone. Huo Shouyi said.
