Du Liushuang: a "capable farmer" who does not let Xiumei

On a sultry summer morning, at about 06:00, du Liushuang of the Longqi planting Cooperative in Gucheng County, Hebei Province, looking at 1200 mu of fertile land in front of him, could not help thinking of the scene of getting up early and working late in his responsible field many years ago. At that time, each household was allocated a few mu of land according to its head, and most of the family's energy was devoted to the fields-drilling wells, purchasing water-lifting equipment, and purchasing agricultural machinery such as tractors and tricycles. It's just that the investment in these fixed assets is more than 20,000 yuan.

In 2013, under the state's good policy on land transfer, du Liu consulted and inspected several times, and transferred more than 300 mu of land in one fell swoop. As the land becomes more and more, the previous methods of farming and irrigation should be changed accordingly. During that time, du Liushuang was either stuck in the field or pondered at home alone. In 2014, du Liushuang participated in the training of a new type of professional farmers organized by the Gucheng County Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau. In that training, she listened carefully to experts, worked hard to learn new knowledge, and visited non-local agricultural demonstration areas to constantly broaden her horizons. The doubts over the past year began to be resolved, which further strengthened du Liushuang's confidence and determination to start a business. After coming back, she transferred more than 1200 mu of land in Dongqiao Village, Xibantun Town, and formally established the Longqi planting Cooperative.

The cooperative was set up, and the investment of more than one million yuan used up du Liushuang's savings for many years, and even made her owe a lot of foreign debts. But at this time, du Liushuang is like a sailor who fights more and more bravely, and no strong wind and waves can stop her progress. In 2014, the yield of wheat and corn per mu in Longqi planting Cooperative reached 500kg and 700kg respectively, and the total grain output reached more than 1400 tons. Du Liushuang was also rated as the top grain grower of that year.

The first wave has been defeated! After attending the "National training course for leaders of large Grain growers" organized by the Ministry of Agriculture, du Liushuang went to many functional departments such as agriculture and animal husbandry, water conservancy, agriculture and industry with the experience learned from large growers in other provinces and cities. to win much-needed policy support and help for cooperatives in modern agriculture. In 2015, with the help of Gucheng County Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau, Longqi planting Cooperative all implemented the micro-spray irrigation project of integrated water and fertilizer, and purchased two sets of large agricultural machinery and 3 sets of medium-sized agricultural machinery. Immediately, the cooperative built a new drying ground of more than 10,000 square meters, which solved the problem of grain storage.

Since then, Longqi planting cooperative has embarked on the broad road of benign development. The staff of the cooperative are all employed by local reputable farming experts, and they have a natural and deep affection for crops. After the transfer of land, they suddenly lost the object of emotional support, at this time du Liushuang extended an olive branch to them. After working in the cooperative, these farming experts can not only continue their "relationship" with the land, but also have a good income.

If you walk around the co-operative and ask the villagers what they think of du Liushuang, you will definitely get the following comments: "never forget the common people when they get rich", "they are motivated, reliable, and have never owed a penny in arrears." Simple villagers have used the most sincere words in their hearts to praise the "capable farmer" and "heroine".
