Li Wenwei introduced Daguo Hazel Huangling Village to get rid of poverty.

These days, Li Wenwei, the first secretary of Xinzhou Forestry Bureau stationed in Huangling Village, Jie Township, Ningwu County, competes with a kind of nut called hazelnut.

Li Wenwei, together with Zhang Mingsheng, a member of the poverty alleviation work in the village and engineer of the Forestry Technology Promotion Station of the Municipal Forestry Bureau, and Li Xinping, a member of the village work team, walked through the hillsides and gullies far and near Huangling Village in the face of the cold wind. They went to the hazelnut research group base of the Institute of Fruit trees of the Shanxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences to consult experts, went to the nursery where big fruit hazelnuts were successfully introduced in Chang'an Township of Gujiao City, and recently planned to inspect Benxi in the northeast, which is the first successful hybrid of big fruit hazelnuts in China.

Huangling Village is 45 kilometers away from the county seat, and the village has 1830 mu of arable land, mostly sloping land. Traditional crops are nothing but flax, naked oats and potatoes, with low yield and no deep processing conditions. The village is located in the coal mine goaf with a resident population of less than 70. Through accurate poverty alleviation "looking back" and re-identification, 102 people from 63 poor households were identified. Last year, the Ningwu County quality Supervision Bureau, a village unit, invested 20,000 yuan to solve the villagers' drinking water problem.This year, the Ningwu County Transportation Bureau has re-hardened the 3.5 kilometers of cement road entering the village, and the basic living conditions of the villagers have been improved.

Li Wenwei grew up in the city, and although he has been to the countryside before, he has been in the blink of an eye. After serving as the first secretary, he settled down in the village and really established the concept of the rural areas of Xinzhou. Huangling Village has also been "prosperous" a few years ago, and some people have made a fortune by opening coal mines, but these people have long gone, and the poverty and backwardness of the village has not changed at all. After the completion of the visit and investigation and the establishment of archives and cards, Li Wenwei still has no idea about how to implement effective and accurate poverty alleviation in Huangling Village.

According to the old people in the village, in the 1950s, the mountains near Huangling Village were still towering with trees. During the "great steel making" in 1958, a few years ago, illegal mining and overgrazing turned the mountains far and near the village into barren mountains. Li Wenwei pondered that under such conditions in the village, there was basically no way out for planting and breeding. If Huangling Village wants to get rid of poverty, it still has to use its brains on this mountain.

The old people said that when they were young, there were many wild hazelnuts growing on the mountain, and every year after the autumn harvest, they would call their friends to go up the mountain to pick them. Hazelnut? When Li Wenwei was moved, he remembered to see the information that farmers had benefited a lot from the successful hybridization of big fruit hazelnuts in Benxi, Northeast China, and the promotion of cultivation.

Giving full play to the advantages of the department, Li Wenwei quickly mastered a great deal of information about big fruit hazelnuts and visited Gujiao and other places where he was successfully introduced. After some investigation and demonstration, with the support of the leadership of the Municipal Forestry Bureau and the party committee and government of Jixiang, the train of thought and direction of accurate poverty alleviation in Huangling Village was made clear-returning farmland to forest and popularizing the cultivation of big fruit hazelnut.

Pingou hybrid big fruit hazelnut is the only big fruit hazelnut tree in the world that can withstand the severe cold of minus 35 ℃. It is an excellent variety bred by interspecific distant hybridization with northeast wild hazel as female parent and European hazel as male parent. It integrates the excellent genetic genes of wild hazel and European hazel, inherits the characteristics of cold resistance, strong adaptability and delicious taste of northeast wild hazel, and inherits the advantages of large, shell and high yield of European hazelnut.

Big fruit hazelnut fruit is large, single fruit weight 2-4 grams, is 3-4 times that of wild hazelnut. The fruit shell book, the nut is full and smooth. The result is early, high and stable yield and long-term benefit. The fruit can be seen after planting for three years, and the yield increases year by year with the increase of tree age. in the full fruit period, the yield per mu can reach more than 500 jin, and it can bear fruit continuously for 50 years. The pruning management is simple and there is no phenomenon of big or small years. The root system is developed, the requirement of soil is not strict, the adaptability is strong, and the survival rate after planting is almost 100%.

In recent years, the autumn purchase price of wild small hazelnut is 14-18 yuan per jin, the fresh fruit of big fruit hazelnut is snapped up by customers at the price of 25 yuan per jin, and the dried fruit is 35 yuan. After a few years, the conservative valuation should also be more than 15 yuan per jin. Even if 10 yuan per jin, the benefit of planting one mu of big fruit hazelnut is more than 10 times that of growing crops.

The big fruit hazelnut has tall tree body and well-developed root system, which has the ecological benefit of preventing wind and fixing sand. At present, the main tree species of returning farmland to forest in China are poplar and pine, whose ecological benefits are far greater than economic benefits, but for growers, it takes 20-30 years to benefit. Planting big fruit hazelnut solves this contradiction and realizes the win-win situation of ecological benefit and economic benefit, national interest and personal interest.

With the consent of the Municipal Forestry Bureau and the leaders of Jixiang, Li Wenwei's idea is that Huangling Village has 1830 mu of arable land and will return farmland to forests except for some rations. At present, villagers spontaneously demand that 1500 mu of farmland be returned. Near the mountain development big fruit hazelnut 500mu, far mountain ecological forest 1000 mu, barren mountain afforestation 3000 mu. Professional cooperatives for poverty alleviation and afforestation farmers will be set up, and strong laborers among the villagers will join the cooperative, and the old and weak can work as forest rangers to earn wages. According to the current policy, various subsidies for returning farmland to forests in poverty-stricken counties amount to 2300 yuan per mu, which can fully cover seedlings and management costs for the first three years. They decided to first inspect and introduce small areas of planting, and at the same time invite experts to give lectures, train villagers on the spot, and popularize them on a large scale after success.
