Farmers and businessmen in Shuyang County, Suqian City have made a "model" of the road to prosperity.

Wang Yiliang, who is nearly fifty years old and lives in Qianwei Township, Shuyang County, is a native farmer, but he is also an out-and-out businessman. Since 2008, he has made use of the rich land and labor resources in rural areas to set up family farms, develop fruit tree planting, and embark on a unique but replicable road to prosperity in characteristic industries.

A "peasant businessman" with a unique vision. In Wang Yiliang's view, he is only an ordinary farmer, but in the eyes of others, he is a businessman with unique vision. "I have done a lot of farm projects and I have found that fruit tree planting is an industry with great potential for development." Wang Yiliang analyzed that there are vast land resources, excellent natural ecological environment and a large number of surplus labor in rural areas, which can effectively reduce the production costs and investment risks of the fruit industry. With his keen vision and firm determination, Wang Yiliang transferred 70 mu of local land at the end of 2008 and chose early-maturing peaches and nectarines with low planting technology, strong adaptability and fast production. In order to master the planting technology of fruit trees as soon as possible, he bought a lot of books and studied the basic knowledge and practical techniques of fruit tree cultivation and management assiduously.

After mastering the technical essentials of fruit tree cultivation and management, from 2009 to the spring of 2013, Wang Yiliang introduced more than 1300 precocious peach seedlings and nectarine seedlings from Jiangxi, Anhui and other places. "at the beginning, there was a lot of investment, and there was a certain degree of financial pressure, and the strategy I adopted was to 'raise the land with the land'." Wang Yiliang told reporters that he vacated 30 mu of land to plant potato with low investment, high efficiency and fast income, in order to ease the financial pressure. At the same time, he also became a "boss worker", seizing a little bit of time to work on his own, trying to reduce extra expenses.

With clear thinking, accurate investment and good management, Wang Yiliang's farm was soon on the right track. Later, he also introduced several new varieties, such as red peach with good taste, southern early oil king peach and so on. Not only that, he set up a "boutique peach picking garden" according to local conditions, which further enhanced the economic efficiency and popularity of the farm. Through unremitting efforts, the annual income of Wang Yiliang's family farm has increased from 72000 yuan in 2014 to 151000 yuan in 2015, and has made a profit of 122000 yuan in this year's depressed market. "at the end of the year, I plan to introduce 10,000 varieties of Zhongyou 16 nectarine and fresh yellow peaches with good maturity and high quality to replace the current varieties with poor benefits." Wang Yiliang said.

"in planting fruit trees, we should strictly adjust the structure in accordance with the consumption characteristics of the people in the region, give prominence to the renewal of varieties, and produce products that are marketable." Through several years of operation and management, Wang Yiliang has a lot of experience. The countryside has superior land resources, human resources and ecological environment resources. Wang Yiliang keeps an eye on the market, makes use of the advantages of resources, leases land, sets up family farms, and walks out a road to prosperity in characteristic industries.
