Just after the wheat harvest season, in the Jinsong Plantation Cooperative of Zhuanghu Village, Hanzhai Town, Shangcai County, Zhumadian City, Henan Province, a golden “hill” is filled with a warehouse of more than 300 square meters. This is the wheat just harvested by the cooperative this year. A lot has been sold these days.
Although the field in front of the cooperative is bare of stubble, it is still full of vitality, waiting for the next batch of seeds to be sown, and then to grow into golden grain. The president of the cooperative, Liu Zhisong, looked at the land of hope, and his face was full of harvested smiles. Since the establishment of the cooperative and the using of the agricultural machinery,the harvest in the field is higher every year. I bought one after another, and this money bag also swelled. What could be more happy than this? Liu Zhisong is pleased to tell reporters the secret to getting rich
Work as a cooperative
Born in 1985, Liu Zhisong was avant-garde. He had different ideas from other young people in the town. He didn't think about going out to work, thinking that he could make a lot of money by planting crops at home. Under the multi-party propaganda of large-scale cultivation by the state and the government, Liu Zhisong saw the opportunity to make money.
The land area of Shangcai is vast and the land is relatively concentrated. If they are farmed together, they can increase the yield of good fields through the application of large agricultural equipment, which is suitable for cooperatives to grow large grains. Liu Zhisong summoned the courage and opened the way to get rich through the land. In October 2017, an agricultural plantation cooperative joint venture between Liu Zhisong and the remaining 4 farmers in the village was formally established. The registered capital of the cooperative is 100,000 yuan. Liu Zhisong took the big head and was responsible for the farming, sales, and various businesses of the cooperative on weekdays. The remaining 4 households distributed dividends according to the investment proportion. After two years of operation, the cooperative has more than 100 acres of land. Liu Zhisong himself will operating agricultural machinery, and mechanized farming will make it easier for the cooperative to manage 100 acres of land. When it comes to agricultural machinery, Liu Zhisong said: "It doesn't require special studies. It can be learned by yourself, and you can look at it." Liu Zhisong loved to study since he was a child. Even large harvesters can be used immediately.
The wheat harvest that had been in operation for a few years was not good. So in May of this year, Liu Zhisong purchased a new wheat harvester produced by Taizhou Zhengzhou Zhonglian Harvest Machinery Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Zhengzhou Zhonglian) through a dealer's introduction. It cost more than 90,000 yuan. The new machine is very powerful. This wheat harvest accompanied Liu Zhisong to harvest more than 200 acres of land this summer, and it worked for a maximum of 3 consecutive days and nights without rest, and there was no failure. Liu Zhisong is very satisfied with Zhengzhou Zhonglian's after-sales service: "The machine was bought and adapted to work in the field within two days. The operation is convenient. If you don't understand anything, just call the service and they will be on call." High efficiency, other brands of machines run a lap, Zhengzhou Zhonglian's wheat harvest can run a lap and a half. "And this machine harvest cleanly and does not scatter seeds. The best thing is that this machine has a cab. Before that machine was dirty and hot." Liu Zhisong praised the new wheat machine Endless.
Become a village director.
Zhuanghu Village, where Liu Zhisong is located, has 3456 people, more than 1,000 households, and a large population. In the past, Zhuanghu Village was also a poor village with serious problems, and nearly 20% of the villagers were poor households. After the on-site inspection, the local government established a sheep farm in Hanzhai Town and provided local sheep households with a way to provide poverty alleviation through the development of breeding industry by providing breeding sheep and jobs. With the help and support of the government and the efforts of the villagers, Zhuanghu Village has gradually kept pace with poverty alleviation. Currently, there are 83 poor households in the village, and more than 100 households have been successfully lifted out of poverty. Eight of them succeeded in alleviating poverty by transferring land to Liu Zhisong's cooperatives.
Regardless of Liu Zhisong, who was only 34 years old, he became a village director at a young age, and managed a large village and three natural teams in the village. The village director was appointed last year through village elections. Everyone trusts him and is willing to give him control. The reporter asked Liu Zhisong what was the secret of the successful election? He said with a simple smile: "In fact, it's nothing, just do more dirty work, more tired work. There are not many young people in the village, and each household can help or help." As usual, the elderly in the village When he can't do the job, he always comes to Liu Zhisong for help. And what can help, Liu Zhisong never shirk.
Especially when the harvest season every year, the villagers are more willing to ask Liu Zhisong to harvest wheat. Not only he charge little, but also fast and good. For more than two weeks from May 26 to June 10 this year, Liu Zhisong harvested wheat day and night for more than 100 farmers. Since the new machine was changed this year, Liu Zhisong's harvesting speed has become faster, and the cut stubble is particularly good. The new machine has a straw smasher, which not only leaves the stubble short, but also breaks the straw evenly. "This machine looks good, looks at the atmosphere. And the work is done well, the user knows. Many people have seen the cornfields I have harvested. They are clean and beautiful. They all praise my machine for being good."
When Liu Zhisong told reporters about the wheat harvest in this year, an old lady came to the cooperative to talk to Liu Zhisong. Next year, she wanted to hand over a dozen acres of land to the cooperative. The grandmother is called Ren Xiuzhi, and she is 73 years old this year. Speaking of the reason to transfer the land out, Grandma Ren told reporters: "Our family has 2 sons and 1 daughter, all of whom work in other provinces. The family has only our old couple. It takes a lot of effort to plant this dozen acres of land in our family. I have to spend money to ask people to harvest, and I have to irrigate and fertilize by myself. After a year and a half of hard work, I have earned 88,000 yuan. We are too old to do anything. Give them the cooperatives, One 500 acres a year, we don't have to do anything, we can earn more than 5,000 a year, enough for our old couple. "
Nowadays, the ageing of our society is getting worse. Farming in rural areas is not the only way out. Young people are more likely to go out to work, and only the elderly insist on farming. The same is true of Zhuanghu Village. As the villagers get older, more and more people around them grow immobile. Faced with this problem, the village director Liu Zhisong also expressed his helplessness: "Several plots of land over the east of the village are deserted, and it is also distressing to look at it. I contracted out the transferred land and drove the agricultural machinery for unified cultivation and harvest. Better management. "I believe that the formation of large-scale planting operations is currently the only solution.
Speaking of his future plans for individuals and cooperatives, Liu Zhisong told reporters happily: "I also want to continue to expand the land of cooperatives to 1,000 acres, then build a greenhouse and plant some cash crops." With these good helpers of mechanization, 500 The acres of land are not enough for him to plant. The cultivation and irrigation can be done in a day, and the 1,000 acres of land are also taken care of. "But we also need to plant the land well before considering subsequent development." Liu Zhisong said with a smile.
It is not enough with a wheat machine, and Liu Zhisong will put his eyes on the peanut machine again. "The wheat machine in Zhengzhou Zhonglian is really good. In recent years, these crops such as peanuts and sesame have been harvested very well in Chengdu, and there are a lot of peanuts growing in this area. Next year, our cooperative will also plan to plant 100 acres of peanuts. This has a large slice of peanuts that need to be harvested. Zhengzhou Zhonglian's peanut machine is a star product of their brand. It has good quality and has a good reputation in the industry. It is necessary to buy another peanut harvesting machine. And a partner to buy a baler. The economic value of additional products such as wheat straw and peanut seedlings can be developed, and processed agricultural by-products such as livestock feed can be sold to the sheep farms next to the village, forming a sustainable industrial chain that drives the surrounding development.
You must also keep abreast of industry development and be in line with high-tech. This year, Liu Zhisong had the opportunity to go to Shanghai to visit the agricultural machinery demonstration, and the high-tech agricultural machinery with a variety of new technologies and new energy displayed its skills. Liu Zhisong, who saw the unmanned wheat machine, felt deeply, "The more the ground is planted, the more advanced the machine. While I am young, I will learn more new technologies." It is this dissatisfaction. His aggressive spirit supports Liu Zhisong, making him farther and farther on the road to becoming rich in modern cooperatives.
