The identity change from citizen to farmer
Liu Chen, a native of Korla City and Shrek Township, Xinjiang, was born as a local farmer. His family has 170 mu of cotton fields. 20 10, after graduating from Liu Chen university majoring in chemistry, he successfully entered Xinjiang TBEA co., ltd and became a team leader. He earned nearly 4,000 yuan a month and became a citizen of Changji. All this made his family very proud.
In the spring of 20 12, Korla region suffered from severe weather such as "late spring cold" and "sandstorm", and cotton production in various places was reduced to varying degrees. Looking at the helpless eyes of his elderly parents, Liu Chen began to think about how to protect the fruits of his parents' labor so that they would no longer "depend on the weather".
"Since there is no way to control the weather, I will build my own greenhouse and create a' microclimate' suitable for planting." After consulting a lot of data, Liu Chen found that facility agriculture has small risks and great benefits, which can not only be planted, but also be used to develop aquaculture. He felt that he had found a good way to help his family start a business.
Liu Chen, who was full of excitement, told his family what he thought when he came home, but his family threw cold water on him. A parent of a college student who has been trained hard can't accept jumping out of the farm gate and running back to be a farmer's child. Angry parents even kicked Liu Chen out of the house.
Liu Chen understood his parents' reaction at that time. He said that his previous job earned more than 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a year, and he was a promising scholar in the village. He left a good job and went back to his hometown to be a farmer, which was hard for most people to accept, not to mention his parents worked hard to cultivate themselves into talents.
Understanding belongs to understanding, but Liu Chen, who wants to reduce the burden on his family and make a career, finally persuaded his parents and got their consent.
The transformation from "looking up to heaven to promote agriculture" to "controlling species"
"If you want to build it, build the most advanced greenhouse." At the beginning of this year, Liu Chen, who resigned and went home, took out all the savings at home, borrowed several hundred thousand yuan from relatives and invested 6.5438+0 million yuan to build five modern greenhouses. What he didn't expect was that the first crop of vegetables was harvested, and he dug up the "first bucket of gold".
Liu Chen's vegetable greenhouse with cement structure is particularly conspicuous in Like Township, Hexi. As soon as I entered the greenhouse, a hot air came to my face. I saw that the cucumbers planted in the greenhouse were green and dripping, and the vines that grew out were more than one meter high, spreading along the ropes hanging in the air, and the row spacing was almost uniform. Liu Chen is working in the greenhouse, fertilizing, watering and pruning ... with lightness and skill. He said happily: "These cucumbers and tomatoes will be available after New Year's Day, and the citizens of Korla will be able to eat my vegetables during the New Year."
"Although these greenhouses only cover a dozen acres, they earn no less money a year than 170 acres of cotton. Most importantly, now we don't have to look at the sky and farm. We now adjust the temperature and humidity of the greenhouse ourselves and control the planting environment ourselves. " Liu Chen's mother, Cheng Huilan, said happily that two sheds of melons and melons were planted this year, which were ripe in June at 5438+ 10, and sold out for a net profit of more than 30,000 yuan. According to the calculation of planting two crops a year, five greenhouses can make a net profit of 65438+ 10 thousand yuan a year; By summer, raising chickens in greenhouses can earn 500 thousand a year.
"In addition to the nursery center of Korla Agriculture Bureau, Liu Jian's greenhouse can be said to be the most modern in Korla's existing greenhouses." According to the relevant person in charge of the Agriculture Bureau of Korla City, the greenhouse where Liu Chen is located is equipped with breathable film and automatic heating equipment, which can control the temperature in the greenhouse at any time, and both the inner and outer layers of the wall are cement walls with brick-concrete structure, which are much thicker than ordinary greenhouses, so it is not only strong, but also has strong thermal insulation. Liu Chen said that he realized the transformation from "cultivating according to the sky" to "planting control".
Speaking of Liu Chen and his career, Liu Chunhua, the daughter-in-law who just married into a rich family last month, is also full of joy. "There is nothing wrong with marrying a farmer. As long as we both work hard, the annual income is no less than that earned by city people. " Liu Chunhua said.
"Next, I want to set up a farmers' cooperative to drive the vegetable farmers in the village to develop on a large scale and professionally. "For future plans, many vegetable farmers in the village are not very standardized at present. Because of the small planting scale and lack of sales channels and technical guidance, vegetables often can't sell at a good price. So he wants to organize vegetable farmers, unify the technology and sales of vegetables in the form of cooperatives, maximize the benefits and get rich together.
