* * Daily News (reported by reporter Xia Qing and Han Liang) in the early morning of June 12, a hasty phone rang. Mai Maiti Kadell, who was having breakfast, answered the phone. He put down his bowls and chopsticks and said to his wife, "Brother Li's drip irrigation belt is leaking. I have to check it out right away." With that, he hurried out of the house.

Brother Li in the words of Meimei is Li Ruyin, a group of farmers from Pratt & Whitney Ranch in Korla. Pratt & Whitney Ranch was founded in 1957 and has three production teams. Meimei is the secretary of the joint party branch of the first and third teams of the ranch, and is also the captain of these two teams.

Li Ruyin and his family came to Pratt & Whitney Ranch from their hometown in Sichuan in the 1990s. In 2006, Li Ruyin took out 200 mu of land with years of savings to contract pastures to grow cotton. Due to lack of experience and the impact of continuous wind disasters for many years, Li Ruyin had a debt of more than 500,000 yuan by the end of 2009 and was suddenly in a dilemma.

"just when I didn't know what to do, Maiti came to my house many times to help me analyze the problem and give me advice and ideas, which strengthened my confidence in continuing to grow cotton." Li Ruyin recalled. In the spring of 2010, Li Ruyin planted 50,000 windbreak trees around the cotton field in accordance with the advice of Buy. Today, the windbreak has become a green barrier to protect cotton fields. Li Ruyin also lived the life of a modern farmer with a house in the city, land in the countryside, and a car to travel. "if it hadn't been for the enthusiastic help of my brother Meiti, I wouldn't have had a good day today." Li Ruyin said.

Maimiti is also a well-known local aquaculture expert. Zhang Xiyuan is a big grower in the third team. in 2014, he invested more than 1 million yuan in the development of aquaculture. Due to lack of experience, the rate of cattle and sheep was low in the first two years. Buy hand-in-hand to teach Zhang Xiyuan breeding experience. Now Zhang Xiyuan has become a famous local farmer.

Party members, cadres, and leaders of the Maiti organization team, who have been the captain of the first team since 2010, have set up irrigation canal patrol teams, cotton planting pest and pest prevention teams, fragrant pear grafting management and protection teams, and other voluntary service teams. After serving as the captain of the three teams in the second half of 2010, Maiti set up a livestock breeding service team according to the team's characteristics of animal husbandry.

80% of farmers in Pratt & Whitney pastures mainly grow cotton. How to maintain the sustained growth of cotton farmers' income? Popularizing the planting technology of high-quality, high-yield and high-efficiency cotton has become a "magic weapon" to solve the difficult problem. In recent years, on the one hand, Buy has instructed cotton farmers to plant high-quality cotton seeds suitable for local growth, and on the other hand, it has strengthened the field management services for cotton farmers before and after production. Now, the average local cotton yield has increased to nearly 400 kg from 340 kg in 2013. Wu Xingbin, a cotton farmer of the third team, said: "in 2016, the per unit yield of cotton planted in China reached 420 kg, with an increase of more than 400 yuan per mu. It's all thanks to the technical guidance given to me by Captain Buy. "

Nowadays, the farmers and herdsmen of all ethnic groups in the team, led by Maiti, rely on science and technology to develop cotton, fragrant pear planting and fattening cattle and sheep. Over the past seven years, the per capita net income of farmers and herdsmen of the two teams has increased from less than 10,000 yuan to more than 16000 yuan now, and the first and third teams of Prudential Ranch have also become a well-known model village team of national unity and civilized prosperity in Korla.
