"post-80s" farmers try the new agriculture

It is spring, which is a good season for spring ploughing and sowing. This year, Shuanggou Town of Xiangzhou District strives to build a modern agricultural demonstration area, introduce modern new agricultural crops and drive farmers to become rich.

Fumin Dream Modern Agriculture Demonstration Park in Shuanggou Town, Xiangzhou District is a leisure sightseeing agricultural project integrating tourism, leisure experience and ecological catering. On March 2, the reporter saw in Fumin Dream agricultural base, one side is busy applying farm manure in the lotus pond foundation pit farmers, the other side is busy raising seedlings in the greenhouse, planting farmers.

Surprisingly, the owner of the agricultural base is Shang Yubo, a villager of Xiangzhou District, a "post-80s" farmer. Since 2008, Shang Yubo has planted Kirin watermelon in Shuanggou Town and Zhangjiaji Town, driving a large number of local villagers to get rid of poverty and become rich.

In order to make more villagers rich, Shang Yubo went to Hainan in 2014 to study okra planting. At the end of last year, he returned to his hometown to drive everyone to plant okra, and then introduced Moringa. "Moringa's entire body is a treasure. Branches, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds are valuable. They can be eaten fresh or used as health care products, medical medicines, feeds and edible oils." Shang Yubo is confident about the development prospects and uses of Moringa.

According to Shang Yubo, the annual gross income per mu of Moringa is at least 12000 yuan, 12 times that of wheat per mu, with considerable economic benefits. It is planned to plant 30 mu this year.

Planting okra, moringa and unicorn watermelon is not only Shang Yubo's life, but also a new way to drive local farmers to become rich. "My family's 5 mu of land was transferred out last year. The rent per mu is more than 800 yuan. Now I earn 60 yuan every day working in the base, which is much better than farming."
