On June 20, 2017, members of Tianbao noodle processing cooperatives in Yinpeng Village, Yinpeng Township, Guangshan County, are weeding, turning vines and loosening soil in sweet potato fields. The cooperative adopts the model of "cooperative + peasant household + base", vigorously develops virus-free sweet potato planting and noodle production and processing industry, unifies seedling supply, unified technology, unified storage, unified brand, unified sales, and insists on order recovery to reduce the market risk of members.

The cooperative and its members have planted more than 2100 mu of virus-free sweet potatoes, and it is estimated that the yield of virus-free sweet potatoes per mu will reach 8000 jin this autumn, and the total output of the cooperative will reach 16 million jin of fresh potatoes, producing 2.7 million jin of vermicelli, with a profit of more than 3 million yuan.
