Plant a cash cow and bring a rich countryman

"the golden pears planted on the hillside are large, thin-skinned, crispy and sweet. Supermarkets sell them for more than 3 yuan per jin, and they sell very well, so it is no problem to earn an extra few thousand yuan per mu." In the middle of winter, Yan Hualei, a villager of Yanzhuang Village, Xiawa Town, Sheqi County, Henan Province, is busy loading a truckload of golden pears for the city.

Jiutougang in Dongxinggou, Yanzhuang Village, was once a rocky barren hill, but now it is Huaguo Mountain. These more than 2000 mu of pomegranate, golden pear, and chestnut have become a cash cow for the villagers of Yanzhuang Village. It was Li Zhenhuan, party branch secretary of Yanzhuang village and deputy to the county people's Congress, who led the villagers on the road to prosperity.

Over the past few years, Li Zhenhuan has led a group of farmers who are flexible and good at learning to change their ideas and adjust their ideas, set up a Jiutougang family farm, transfer land, contract the barren hills and slopes of the village, and plant economic forests such as pomegranate, golden pear, and chestnut, and take the lead in becoming a star of getting rich.

He took the lead in the experience of planting fruit trees to become rich, and the villagers could see and learn, and the masses came to learn from them one after another. Li Zhenhuan took advantage of the situation to give full play to the effect of "one person with one group and one group with the whole village" to train villagers in planting techniques free of charge and provide market information in a timely manner. Led by him, six more people in the village transferred 500 mu of land in 2016, setting up professional cooperatives for planting golden pears and thin-shell walnuts, exploring the development of a three-dimensional ecological agriculture model and intercropping oil peonies and traditional Chinese medicine under the forest.

At present, relying on the two scenic spots of Bawangshan Forest Park and Dachengshan Forest Park, the village has initially built an eco-agricultural demonstration base, and has become a tourist site based on independent picking of forest and fruit, with leisure, sightseeing, vacation and health preservation as one. To achieve both economic and social benefits.
