"I am a native farmer and have special feelings for land and food. I want to do a good job in agriculture, rural areas and farmers all my life. " Yang Bohai, 5 1 year-old this year, is a big, dark-skinned and quiet farmer. Since 20 13, he has turned idle barren hills and wasteland into treasure, planted camellia oleifera and rice, and became a well-known grain grower.
Since 2008, Yang Bohai has been engaged in the distribution of agricultural products, buying cash crops such as cotton, sesame, peanuts and rice in the town and selling them all over the country. In the first few years, farmers were very enthusiastic about growing grain. During the harvest season, they are often busy from noon to late at night and can buy thousands of kilograms of grain every day. After 20 12, young and strong rural laborers went out to work, resulting in a large area of grain fields being idle and overgrown with weeds. Seeing this situation, Yang Baihai felt very sorry and decided to contract the barren hills, sort them out and plant 650 mu of camellia oleifera. In order to solve the dilemma of high input cost and long income cycle of Camellia oleifera, in 20 18 years, he transferred 2,398 mu of high-standard farmland and planted all high-quality rice.
The rice planting area of Yuan Meng Cooperative has increased from 3 10 mu in one village in Fengziqiao to more than 2,900 mu in five villages, with an annual output of more than 3.4 million Jin and an annual operating income of nearly 365,438+10,000 yuan. With day-and-night efforts and years of accumulated planting experience, the cooperative's business scale is getting bigger and bigger, and it also drives more than 0/00 farmers in surrounding villages to increase their employment and income every year, and the per capita income of the people is more than 6,000 yuan, so it has been well received by the local town government and villagers.
