The three brothers work together to raise pigs to find a way to get rich.

As the saying goes, if a brother is of one heart, his advantage will break the gold. Six years ago, Zheng Shuhui's three brothers, who lived in Xiquan Town, Fengyang County, quit their well-paid jobs and returned home to raise pigs on a large scale in order to take care of their elderly parents. After several years of depressed market, the three brothers not only did not flinch, but walked out of a green circular ecological agriculture.

In order to take care of their elderly parents, the three brothers returned home to start a business.

Before 2011, Zheng Shuhui's three brothers all worked in other places. The eldest Zheng Shuhui works in foreign trade in an enterprise, the second Zheng Wentao has been engaged in decoration for many years, and the third Zheng Wenqiang works as a foreman in a clothing factory. Although they earn a lot of money, they always worry about their parents in their hometown. "my father used to work on the construction team and accidentally fell off the top of the house, breaking all the bones of his thigh, waist and foot, but he has not recovered. My mother has always been in poor health. " The third Zheng Wenqiang said. After some consideration, the three brothers decided to stay in their hometown and co-financed the raising of pigs in October 2011. From building pig houses, connecting water and electricity to running the market, the three people give full play to their own strengths and get along very well with each other.

At the beginning of the business, the price of live pigs is not very good. "in the market at that time, each pig only earned about 200 yuan, which was much worse than working outside, and everyone was a little discouraged." Zheng Wentao, the second child, recalled. After some ideological struggle, they agreed that the ups and downs of pig prices are the law of the market, and that moderate large-scale farming must be carried out in order to make greater profits.

"if the annual output is more than 1000, there will be a profit of about NT $200000. If you want to expand, it will take at least NT $500000 to turn over. The third Zheng Wenqiang's words strengthened everyone's confidence, and then the three families took out all their wealth and put it into operation.

Pig prices suffered a persistent downturn, and they gritted their teeth to tide over the difficulties.

In the spring of 2014, the price of pigs fell to 5 yuan per jin, and in the three years since they started their business, they not only failed to make money, but also lost a lot of money. They were so anxious that they borrowed all their relatives before paying back the money owed by the outside for materials and feed. The neighbors who dealt with them were moved by the hard work and integrity of the three brothers and extended a helping hand one after another. I believe they will be able to tide over the difficulties.

In order to get back the money, although the piglets were cheap, they still sold them at a low price. Although the price of pig is low, the price of feed such as corn remains high. In order to reduce the cost of farming, they began to contract land to grow corn, just have their own farm manure, fertilizer costs have been reduced, but also improved the surrounding ecological environment, killing two birds with one stone.

Relatives can borrow everything they can, and the cost can be saved, but the pig price has never bottomed out. After being helpless, they heard that they could apply for a loan, so the three brothers went to Fengyang Agricultural and Commercial Bank for consultation. Unexpectedly, the bank granted a credit of 30,000 yuan to each of the three families, which added to their strength.

The hard work lived up to the dedicated people, and there was always a reward for their hard work. Pig prices began to pick up in 2015 and stayed at high levels for a long time, so they finally made a lot of money.

Engage in circular ecological agriculture, from single farming to diversified economy

The three brothers set up Xinnong Pig Farm in Xiquan Town, Fengyang County. Today, in this area, which covers an area of nearly 30 mu, it has a standard factory building of 3000 square meters and a living area of 400 square meters. It is also equipped with biogas digester, dung drying field, re-oxidation tank, disinfection room and medical room, with complete functional facilities, with a total investment of 2 million yuan.

"at present, there are more than 3000 hurdles a year, with an annual output of 20, 000 cubic meters of biogas and more than 1000 tons of biogas slurry. The eldest, Zheng Shuhui, says that after endless biogas bags are packed, they will be given free use to more than a dozen village names, while biogas residue and biogas slurry will be used as land fertilizer themselves.

With years of farming experience, they feel that it is necessary to develop diversified economy in order to effectively avoid risks. Before that, the three brothers transferred dozens of mu of land to plant corn, and the plots were relatively scattered. In recent years, due to the abundant funds on hand, they made an inspection tour in Nanjing, Zhejiang and other places and jointly decided to engage in circular ecological agriculture.

Last year, they transferred more than 100 mu of land from farmers and planted tomatoes, watermelons, strawberries, grapes, yellow peaches and other crops. After a year of cultivation, many varieties have lost fruit and achieved good economic benefits. The three brothers intend to implement the combination of planting and breeding, engage in circular ecological agriculture, and create a comprehensive agriculture with the integration of tourism, picking, catering and entertainment, so as to maximize their own income and increase the income of the local people.
