Ma Wenyi: become a professional cattle farmer and lead the villagers to a well-off society

Villagers are using corn stalks to make silage, a breakthrough in cattle raising technology in the village.

Ma Wenyi, a 37-year-old villager of Jieling this year, heard the propaganda of the Party's industrial poverty alleviation policy at the beginning of the precise poverty alleviation work, saw that the surrounding villagers became rich one by one, and then looked at his family's poor living conditions. His heart felt like swallowing a green fruit. He felt bitter and astringent. He thought, I am a farmer. How can I get rid of poverty and become rich with the help of the Party's good policies?

Ma Wenyi began to collect market information and observe industry trends. Facing the large demand for beef in the surrounding market, after careful investigation and analysis, he decided to develop beef cattle breeding industry.

Business is hard and difficult. At the beginning of beef cattle breeding, because his wife had to take care of the elderly at home and the two children at school, the work of beef cattle breeding fell entirely on Ma Wenyi alone. He had to get up before dawn every day to feed the cattle and clean the barn. He had to get up late at night to go to the cattle shed for a circle to observe the growth and health of the cattle. If he found any abnormality, he should diagnose and treat it in time, and dare not have any negligence. Although his legs were tired every day, Ma Wenyi did not relax his study of technology. He bought a lot of books on beef cattle breeding, starting at the fifth watch and climbing in the middle of the night, using all his spare time to nibble one by one, so that he could master the adaptation period, meat increasing period and fattening period of beef cattle from one point to another. Through study and practice, he finally mastered a full set of cattle raising techniques, so that his beef cattle never contracted various diseases and never died from entering the pen to leaving the market. Because Ma Wenyi adopts scientific method to raise, so his cattle are fat and strong, far and near merchants have been eager to place orders, raising cattle makes Ma Wenyi embark on a road to prosperity.

Over the past two years, through Ma Wenyi's hard work and labor, he actively sought partners to expand the breeding industry and participated in the breeding cooperatives in the village. At present, Ma Wenyi has 15 beef cattle in stock, with an annual output of more than 8 beef cattle. The annual income of beef cattle breeding alone exceeds 40,000 yuan.

Ma Wenyi succeeded in beef cattle breeding, but he did not forget the root of farmers. Even if cattle were raised to earn money again, he could not waste his own land. On the contrary, he had to make the farmland better. Looking at the cultivated land whose harvest is not ideal, Ma Wenyi is determined to make another breakthrough. He plans to make use of the profits and surplus money from raising cattle, increase the investment in the land, and use the idle fields to plant forage grass, that is, solve the problem of idle cultivated land, but also better solve the feed problem of beef cattle breeding, which can save a lot of expenses for the development of breeding industry.

Ma Wenyi's enterprising spirit of daring to think, dare to do and dare to be the first on the road out of poverty infected other villagers. Villagers asked him for his experience in raising cattle one after another and applied the new technology learned to beef cattle breeding, which greatly promoted the development of beef cattle breeding in Jieling Village. Therefore, Ma Wenyi became a well-known professional cattle farmer in the village.
