Five years of striving to get rid of Poverty-- taking the Science and Technology Express to help Peasants get Rich

* * net News (Reporter Mou Min) there is a subsidy of 10,000 yuan per mu of greenhouse and two yuan of subsidy for one square meter of polymer membrane, plus the extra money earned by one mu of vegetables. At noon on June 1, Tang, a vegetable farmer in Qinggeda Lake Township, a high-tech zone (new urban area), finished his work in the field and squatted down to settle accounts: if two more greenhouses were built next year, both of them would use polymer membranes, the dishes would be improved, and they could earn a lot more.

As the main vegetable production base in Urumqi, the high-tech zone (new urban area) has 96000 mu of arable land, of which the vegetable area is 75000 mu and the annual output is 300000 tons. The income from growing vegetables is the main source of income for vegetable farmers like Tang Weibing.

"over the past two years, with the tilt of various policies and various subsidies in place, especially with the help of science and technology, our vegetable farmers' income has become higher and higher, and our life is getting better and better." Tang Weibing said.

Tang Weibing grew up in Qinggeda Lake Township and began to grow vegetables after graduating from junior high school. In 2010, the family's annual income rose from more than 50, 000 yuan to 100000 yuan last year. He said, regardless of just growing vegetables, whether there is technology or not, it makes a big difference.

Take the polymer membrane used this year, for example, two greenhouses with the same area of 6 minutes, covered on the same day and seedlings all over the world, collected more than 4 tons of doll vegetables in the greenhouse using high molecular membrane, which was more than one ton more than that of the ordinary film greenhouse, and could earn an extra 2000 yuan.

The high molecular membrane is a high-tech industrial project introduced by the high-tech zone (new urban area) in 2014, which has the advantages of strong thermal insulation and good light transmittance. at the same time, it can also play an insecticidal effect on the UV transmission rate of different wavelengths, and its diffuse light can make plant photosynthesis stronger, and the vegetables in every corner of the greenhouse grow evenly.

It is not only Tang Weibing who benefits from the polymer membrane. At the beginning of this year, the high-tech zone (new urban area) launched pilot activities for the promotion and application of polymer film in Qinggeda Lake Township, Liuhu Township and Anningqu Town, and 500 mu of greenhouse will be promoted in the first phase. The film is used for 1100 square meters per mu of greenhouse, the price of the film is 4.19 yuan per square meter, and the government subsidy is 2 yuan.

In addition, every township in the high-tech zone (new urban area) has night classes for farmers, and there is also "science and technology winter" training in winter. Experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and agricultural leaders are invited to teach to farmers, and courses on current affairs and policies, laws and regulations, and technical skills for planting and breeding are launched.

The benefits of science and technology to farmers made Tang Weibing taste the benefits: "as the training teacher said, agriculture plus science and technology can become rich. If we farmers want to bulge their pockets, we must get on the science and technology express."

The agricultural population of the high-tech zone (new urban area) is 42000. In recent years, the region has deeply implemented agricultural supply-side structural reform, vigorously promoted technological innovation in agriculture and animal husbandry, and raised the scientific and technological level of agriculture and animal husbandry. In 2011, the per capita net income of farmers and herdsmen increased from 9100 yuan to 20310 yuan in 2016, ranking first in the city in terms of income and growth.

Notes of □ reporters

Science and technology nourishes everything in silence

The report of the 18th CPC National Congress pointed out that the foundation of building a well-off society in an all-round way lies in agriculture, the difficulty lies in rural areas, and the key lies in farmers.

Innovation is the productive forces, and science and technology can bring innovation. Transferring popular science knowledge to rural areas and applying scientific and technological products to agricultural production, so that farmers can master the power of science and technology, can enhance farmers' mastery of advanced production skills and effectively promote agricultural modernization.

Agriculture + science and technology, agriculture + Internet, the trend of e-commerce of agricultural products and the further deepening of agricultural new media marketing all bring a new way out for traditional agriculture.

Science and technology help and benefit farmers, just like nourishing all things silently, so that the showers of new technologies, new varieties, and new ideas fall into the hearts of farmers, and just like their crops, they take root and sprout in the vast land. (reporter Mou Min)
