"words" increase income in improved Vineyard in Tancheng, Shandong Province

In early autumn, when the grapes were fragrant, I walked into the Tuoyuan vineyard in Tancheng County, Shandong Province, and the fragrance of grapes came to my nostrils. The grape gallery was covered with a string of colorful grapes such as summer black, black, pearl, sunshine and so on, forming a beautiful picture of "Vineyard".

Tancheng County is known as "the south gate of Shandong", with fertile soil, convenient watering conditions and sufficient light, which provides a good environment for grape cultivation. In recent years, the county has introduced and promoted more than 10 grape varieties such as "Xia Hei", "Heti" and "Sunshine", and several townships such as Huayuan Township, Guichang Township, Gaofengtou, and so on, have planted more than 10,000 mu of grapes, and farmers have mastered rich experience in growing grapes. more than 100 grape planting cooperatives, large growers and family farms have emerged successively, and improved grape cultivation has become an effective way for local farmers to get rich.

"people have nothing to have, timely replacement of old varieties, the introduction of new varieties, in order to meet consumer appetite, so that improved varieties of grapes sell at a good price." Yan Shiqing, a family farmer who tasted the sweetness of improved grape cultivation, said with deep experience that he relied on the support of local agricultural firms the year before last, made a loan of more than 200,000 yuan, and set up more than 50 mu of vineyards through land transfer. he took the lead in introducing three new varieties of "pearl", "summer black" and "Heidi", and changed the open-air planting in the past into a greenhouse, and other people's grapes had just sprouted, and his greenhouse grapes had already blossomed and hung fruit. Going on the market more than a month in advance, coupled with the new varieties, there is no one there to grow them, so things are precious because they are scarce. They can sell 20 to 30 yuan per catty, and several jin of ordinary grapes can be sold per catty.

The Agricultural Bureau of Tancheng County implements a scientific and technological package service for improved grape growers, and technicians follow and guide them, move the training class to the grape shed, carry out "menu" training, and teach them new grape management techniques that "can be learned" and "useful". In terms of financial support, Tancheng Agricultural and Commercial Bank of China also loves the growers of new grape varieties and opens a "green channel" for small loans. Where grape growers apply for loans, they can first enjoy 50,000 yuan of micro-credit financial support, which removes the financial difficulties of grape growers in land circulation, seedling cultivation, purchase of greenhouse materials, and so on.

At present, large grape growers, cooperatives and family farms in Tancheng County have received technical guidance for more than 1900 times and enjoyed more than 12 million yuan in agricultural and commercial bank support funds. By planting improved varieties of grapes, they became "vineyard owners" and realized the "vineyard dream".
