The Rich Sutra in Crayfish

"this year, 40 mu of crayfish have been raised, with a net income of 1500 yuan per mu and 600 yuan per mu of rice." In Sanliu Township, Huoqiu County, Anhui Province, farmer Song Guoguo happily removed the net pocket from the field, put the crayfish into the basin, harvested the crayfish this season, and prepared to plant seedlings. From more than 10 mu last year to 40 mu this year, the State of Song has tasted the benefits from crayfish farming.

The vibrant crayfish has become a new way for farmers in Sanliu Township to shake off poverty and become rich.

Accompanied by Li Yue, deputy magistrate of Huoqiu County, the reporter and his entourage visited the 10,000 mu demonstration area of the comprehensive rice and fishery base in Huoqiu County, Sanliu Township. The central location of the demonstration zone involves Sanliu Township Laoji Village, Shuangta Village, Sanliu Village, etc., there are 8 cooperatives, more than 1300 households, including 281 poor households, a total of 561 people.

In the past, it was mainly engaged in grain production. The lowlands produced only one crop of rice a year and were abandoned in winter. Now, some migrant workers return to their hometown to breed crayfish in rice fields using the farming techniques they have learned abroad, and the income was gained in that year. Led by them, the people in the demonstration area continue to expand the area of lobster culture. In the past two years, Sanliu Township, Huoqiu County has made great efforts to promote lobster farming, and the output and output value of crayfish have been greatly increased.

"there are three farming models: Rice-shrimp rotation, rice-shrimp symbiosis, and professional shrimp farming throughout the year. At present, rice-shrimp rotation is mainly used in our village. Now is the shrimp harvest season, followed by transplanting, the ecological chain is very good, since the breeding of lobster has come a lot of birds, through the integrated development of agriculture and aquatic products, to drive farmers out of poverty and become rich. " According to Sun Guangjie, party committee secretary of Sanliu Township, Huoqiu County, crayfish from Sanliu Township are sent to the township market for trading at 3 o'clock every morning and sent to various places overnight to ensure the freshness of the crayfish.

At present, more than 80 households in Sanliu Township have raised lobsters to more than 100 mu through the transfer of land, which has not only led the masses to work and become rich, but also greatly improved the social atmosphere. Sun Guangjie said: "in the past, the people in Laoji village played cards, fought, and drank during their leisure time, resulting in a phenomenon of 'two fights and one drink', resulting in social instability and prominent contradictions. Now the farmers get up at two or three o'clock in the morning to collect shrimp, the transaction is completed at five or six o'clock, the whole field is busy in the morning, and the social atmosphere has changed for the better. "

According to Sun Guangjie, because a large number of crayfish are listed on the market, leading customers in Hefei, Wuxi, Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Ningbo and other places to collect lobster, now the lobster market in Huoqiu County is also more prosperous, sending away dozens of trucks of lobster every morning during the peak period, reaching more than 60,000 jin, and there are more than 40 purchase sites in the township. This has also led to the prosperity of the breakfast market, and the breakfast shops near the purchase point are also full of customers.

In order to promote rice and shrimp rotation, Sanliu Township actively carried out publicity and guidance, and invested 150000 yuan in annual financial funds to pump water and irrigate the fields to raise shrimp. Sanliu Township also invited scientific and technological personnel from departments such as Lu'an City and Huoqiu County Fisheries and Science and Technology Association to train nearly 1,000 people and guide them in the fields.

In 2016, 286 households in Sanliu Township alone were lifted out of poverty, of which 178 households were lifted out of poverty directly through crayfish farming.
