The "Golden Award Grape" grown in the hometown of Apple is 32 yuan per jin!

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Weirong Town, Jingning County, Gansu Province, is still full of flavor! Families either welcome relatives and friends from afar, or bring gifts to visit relatives and friends to wish each other New year.

Zhang Qi, general manager of the town's Changfengdeng Family Farm, and the person in charge of the town government have already been busy, driving more than 60 kilometers to Longwangba Village, Xiji County, Ningxia, adjacent to Jingning, to learn the successful experience of visiting this village through the development of rural tourism.

"through the development of tourism, people have turned a barren land into a beautiful new countryside. The Spring Festival Gala of the seven farmers of the Central Committee filmed programs here, and citizens from big cities came here for the Spring Festival. It is really amazing!"

"it's really enlightening! We have more than 300 mu of high-quality vineyards, and our industrial base is stronger than that of Longwangba, so there should be more potential for picking leisure agriculture! "

……

On the way back, the two were so excited that they began to discuss what you said and what I said. The two share a common wish-to turn the 300 mu vineyard in the town of Weirong into a fresh fruit planting ecological garden for leisure picking in 2017, leading more local people out of poverty.

Due to the unique geographical conditions, Jingning County has been designated as the eugenic area of apple planting in the Loess Plateau by the Ministry of Agriculture, and the apple industry has become the leading industry in the local rich and strong county. However, the altitude of Weirong town is low, the ventilation of planting apples is poor, and the quality of the fruits produced is far behind that of the main apple producing areas in the south of the county, while grape cultivation is unique in the sandy soil of the river beach.

After hiring experts and professors from Gansu Agricultural University to demonstrate in detail, Zhang Qi, who used to be engaged in carton processing, began to carry out transformation at the age of 50 and 40, and set up Changfengdeng Family Farm, with 19 grape sheds covering an area of more than 200 mu and an open-air vineyard of more than 100 mu.

Organic cultivation is the most distinctive feature of this vineyard. In order to realize the development of ecological cycle, the vineyard has ponds to raise ecological fish, and the local water conservancy department has also installed a drip irrigation system for the greenhouse to improve soil organic matter by drip irrigation with water from fish ponds. Due to the massive application of biological fertilizer and fully ripened farm manure, the grapes produced by Changfengdeng family farm are large, colorful and delicious. It won three gold medals (Red Globe, Autumn Black and Crisen grapes) in the second National Grape Innovation and quality Winter Grape Evaluation Conference in Nanning in 2016.

In the interview, we learned that although the price per jin is as high as 32 yuan, which is much higher than the ordinary grapes sold on the market, because of the fame and unique flavor of "Golden Grape", there is a steady stream of tourists from December to Changfengdeng Farm to break the ice and pick grapes. The 30th of the first lunar month is no exception, and the daily turnover of the farm reaches 20,000 yuan.

"growing 'Golden Award grapes' in the hometown of Apple is our biggest harvest, but we also face a lot of problems!" Talking about development, Zhang Qi said that in 2017, we will be more determined to take the road of organic cultivation and try to integrate the development of planting and tourism.

"in 2016, due to untimely ventilation and high temperature in the shed, the grapes in several greenhouses shrank seriously, and the lesson was painful! This year, the Internet of things must be installed in all 19 greenhouses to achieve precise control of temperature and moisture in the sheds. In addition, we have transferred more than 30 mu of forest farms, ready to use the pruned grape branches and leaves to raise ecological chickens, combine planting and breeding, and turn waste into treasure. There is also the most important thing, with the help of the town government, to learn from the experience and practices of Longwangba Village to develop leisure tourism and achieve greater value-added grape cultivation, "Zhang Qi said with confidence.
