For more than ten years, the villagers of Jintang Village in Baitu Township, Qianjiang District, have not found anything special about the village name "Jintang". But since 2017, villagers have increasingly discovered the name "Get Lucky", because now they can really rely on "Jintang" and "get rich for gold".
"Jintang" became a loach nursery base
"Jintang" is located in Jintang Village, Baitu Township, 4 groups of Yandan Hills (small place name), covering an area of nearly 3 acres. "It all depends on He Qicai to do this thing, and we also increase our income." Huang Youqun, a local poor household, told reporters that he was listed by the government as a poor household with a construction card in 2016.
"Last year I brought in 70,000 seedlings from him and then farmed them ecologically in my own contracted fields. Each mu of 7 mu of rice field can produce 500 kg of rice and 400 kg of loach at the same time. If it weren't for the rising water, it would be completely fine to earn eight or nine thousand yuan..." This year Huang Youqun "got the law", and now he has already sorted out the drainage ditches in the rice fields, "If the water rises again this year, a loach will not want to wash away." It is understood that Huang Youqun still has to raise about 70,000 tails this year.
As early as 2017, villager He Qicai was thinking about how to realize his dream that "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains". Later, under the order of a friend, he decided to engage in "rice loach farming" and drive the villagers to get rich. Soon, he transferred more than 3 acres of farmland in the village, built a loach seedling base, and then established a professional cooperative. "In addition to providing free technical guidance to farmers, last year we also reduced the nursery fee by 70% for each poor household." He Qicai told reporters, "I didn't expect this to be done, and the villagers were very interested." ”
"Jintang" turns poor households into "science and technology demonstration households"
Looking at the "science and technology demonstration household" sign posted by the door, Deng Yixiang had unspeakable happiness in his heart, "In my life, I never thought that I would catch up with science and technology, but now I have become a demonstration household." ”
Deng Yixiang, 65, was listed as a poor household with a jianka in 2014. The 88-year-old mother was paralyzed in bed for many years, and his wife, Liu Desu, 62, suffered from rheumatism for many years. In recent years, families that already have little financial income have been exacerbated by the long-term need for two patients to spend a lot of time. However, after he Qicai's "golden pond" was completed, Deng Yixiang quickly found a way to get rich: he made full use of the rice field next to the house to engage in new breeding, and also built a fish pond of more than one mu of rice field to raise grass carp. Today, the life of Deng Yixiang's family is slowly getting better.
"The symbiosis mode of rice loach can not only improve the yield and output value of agricultural products per unit, but also effectively protect the ecological environment, which can be said to be an eternal topic of modern agricultural research and the ultimate development direction of modern agriculture." The advantage of this production mode is that the microorganisms and pests in the rice field during the growth process of rice provide sufficient food for the growth of loach, and the excrement of loach is rich in a large amount of calcium, phosphorus, iron, selenium and trace elements such as vitamins B1, B2 and niacin, providing sufficient organic fertilizer for the growth of rice. In this complementary biological chain, the rice produced is a high-quality green organic rice, and the farmed loach has a high protein content and good taste. Rice loach symbiosis not only guarantees the area under which grain is grown, but also expands the aquaculture water surface. He Qicai said.
"Jintang" paints the dream of poverty alleviation in the village
Like Huang Youqun and Deng Yixiang, who are ready to rely on "Jintang" to realize their dream of getting rid of poverty and getting rich, there are 6 other poor households in the same village, such as Li Anzhou and Zhou Xingquan. Up to now, 8 poor households in the village have a total of more than 40 mu of rice fields to achieve "rice loach breeding". More than 40 acres of rice fields can produce 48,000 catties of loach (can be raised for at least 3 seasons, 400 catties per mu per season) and 20,000 catties of rice. "If loach is calculated at a minimum of 15 yuan / catty and rice is calculated at a minimum of 8 yuan / catty, the output value can reach more than 800,000 yuan." He Qicai said.
During the interview, the reporter learned that the most valuable natural resource of Jintang Village is sufficient water resources. "The mountain spring water at the mouth of the bowl does not dry all year round, flows throughout the village, and the water quality is particularly good." Zheng Xiaoli, a member of the Baitu Township Organization Committee, told reporters that in the past, due to various reasons, resources were not maximized, and villager He Qicai combined with local realities, made full use of the advantages of water resources, and explored new breeding models, which is very worthy of recognition.
"In fact, this idea is not simple to realize." Zheng Xiaoli said that from the selection of rice fields, the selection of loach varieties, technical points, development prospects, income increase and environmental protection, etc., thanks to the help of the township government, He Qicai also paid a lot, and was able to implement it after conducting a large number of investigations and demonstrations in the early stage.
"This eco-efficient agricultural production model, which organically combines rice and loach, has achieved good economic and ecological benefits of simultaneously increasing the production of rice and aquatic products by effectively exploring the mechanism of mutual recycling between species, and is becoming an 'innovative weapon' for Jintang Village to get rid of poverty and get rich, and the villagers are very interested." In this way, the villagers' dream of getting rich will really come true soon. Zheng Xiaoli said.
