Tian Xianfeng: from a vegetable grower to a Rich Leader

Thirteen years ago, Tian Xianfeng, a villager from Dazhou Village, Shihe Town, Yicheng District, was the first batch of people to "eat crabs" when growing greenhouse vegetables in the village. Now, when he has become rich, he has been chosen by the villagers as the village cadre and the leader of the villagers in getting rich. "the traditional planting model is no longer workable. if you want to have a good income, you must improve the technical content." Tian Xianfeng said that Dazhou Village also has unique tourism advantages, and they are prepared to combine planting with tourism to give greater benefits to the villagers.

Tian Xianfeng is picking balsam pear in the greenhouse. The balsam pear of one and a half mu will bring him about 30,000 yuan.

The vegetable greenhouse becomes the "treasure pot" of the villagers

On the morning of March 19, in Dazhou Village, Shihe Town, Yicheng District, villager Tian Xianfeng was carefully putting balsam pear in the picking basket in the greenhouse. After pulling out cucumber seedlings, balsam pear began to "take over" and become the "protagonist" in the greenhouse. According to reports, these balsam pear will be sold to the surrounding areas at a price of more than two yuan per jin.

"when the balsam pear market is good, one jin can be sold for almost three or four yuan." Tian Xianfeng said that because of the bad weather, the market of balsam pear is not good these days. Even so, balsam pear in this greenhouse should be able to sell for 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. Coupled with the sale of 40,000 yuan of cucumbers in the early stage, the annual income of this greenhouse reached 60,000 yuan to 70,000 yuan.

This is not the highest income. Last year, some villagers earned more than 90,000 yuan in a greenhouse, while others almost earned more than 40,000 yuan. Their greenhouse covers an area of about 4 mu, without walls and other facilities, the actual planting area is only one and a half mu of land.

According to reports, there are 38 temperature-controlled greenhouses and hundreds of sunshine greenhouses in Dazhou Village. Five varieties of cucumbers, tomatoes, balsam pears, peppers and potatoes have successively passed the certification of pollution-free agricultural products of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Get a good profit from scientific planting

In terms of greenhouse vegetable cultivation, Tian Xianfeng was the first group of people in the village to "eat crabs." In 2004, under the leadership of village cadres, several villagers went to other places to learn the experience of growing vegetables in greenhouse and prepared to grow some out-of-season vegetables in the village.

"because I am old and young, I can't go out to work, and I don't have much to gain from growing traditional crops. At that time, I also thought it was good to grow vegetables in the greenhouse. " Tian Xianfeng said that in that year, he invested 50,000 yuan, built three greenhouses and sunlight sheds, and planted tomatoes, beans, cucumbers and other vegetables.

Because they had no greenhouse planting experience, they also hired a professional from other places to guide them. However, the benefit of the first year is not good.

"although there was guidance, we didn't understand it ourselves, and we were not sure about it. As soon as we saw that there was a bug, we quickly administered medicine. As a result, many dishes were not eaten by worms, but were destroyed by our administration." Tian Xianfeng said that with the lessons of the first year, they kept going out to learn, mastered more and more planting skills, and the better the quality of vegetables.

In 2010, under the guidance of experts, Tian Xianfeng introduced straw reactor technology to greenhouse planting. "it is crushed with corn straw and buried in the ground, which can not only be used as fertilizer, but also release carbon dioxide to meet the needs of vegetables." Tian Xianfeng said that vegetables do not need to be treated with medicine or chemical fertilizer, and the yield has increased significantly. More importantly, the quality of vegetables is also better.

Rely on tourism resources to do a good job in getting rich articles

At the beginning of planting, the vanguard of the vegetable market needed to go to the market. Nowadays, sellers from all over the country take the initiative to contact each other. Vegetables from Dazhou Village are sold to Fuyang, Zhoukou, Hefei and even Wuhan. Their village has also become a well-known well-off village.

After pinching and counting, Tian Xianfeng has been growing vegetables in greenhouse for 13 years since he was 27 years old. Elected by the villagers, he is now a village cadre in Dazhou Village. "We farmers will certainly fail if we still use that traditional planting mode, and we have to increase the technical content of growing crops." Tian Xianfeng said: after gradually becoming rich, several villagers set up Tianyi vegetable professional cooperatives to attract farmers to join, increasing their per capita income from 5,000 yuan to more than 20,000 yuan. Their cooperatives have also won honorary titles such as "Ministry of Agriculture demonstration Cooperatives", "Provincial demonstration Cooperatives" and "Top 50 Cooperatives in China".

Today, Dazhou Village has also become a tourist attraction. Relying on this advantage, Tian Xianfeng also carried out the picking activities of vegetables, melons and fruits, allowing tourists to experience farm life, but also bulging the pockets of the villagers. "I am not rich when I am rich alone, but I am really rich if we are rich together." Tian Xianfeng said.
