Azuo Banner Barun Bioli: industrial "hanging fruit" farmer fragrance

Zhang Zhonglin takes care of the grapes to be listed in his greenhouse.

"The fruits from these fruit trees are sweet, bright in color, and taste especially good!" Zhang Zhonglin couldn't hide a smile on his face when he talked about the fruits planted in his field. With these fruit trees, Zhang Zhonglin's family's income this year can increase a lot.

Along the country road into the town of Barun Bieli, Azuo Banner, the crops on both sides of the road grow happily. Among the lush cornfields, a forest of fruit-bearing fruit trees stood out. Qiu Shengyu, head of the "Ten Full Coverage" Promotion Group appointed by the League in Barun Bieli Town, told reporters that this is the fine forest fruit industry developed by Barun Bieli Town, and also one of the leading industries focused on by the implementation of the "Ten Full Coverage" project in A Zuo Banner.

"These 16 acres of land were planted with corn before, and people worked hard to earn less. After developing the fine fruit industry, if we manage it well, the income per mu of land will be around 8000 yuan, which is at least three times higher than in the past." Zhang Zhonglin introduced to reporters while walking. In 2013, Zhang Zhonglin planted nectarine, peach, plum and other fruit seedlings in the field. After three years of careful care, the fruit trees finally bear fruit. Walking in the fruit forest, looking at the weeds all over the ground, the reporter can't help asking: won't these grasses affect the growth of fruit trees? Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhonglin has already made a good "small abacus" for this. "There's no end to the weeds. I plan to raise chickens, ducks, and geese in the fruit forest next year. They will not only help me remove the grass, but also raise some livestock. The manure of livestock can also be used as fertilizer to nourish fruit trees, forming a circular economy combining forestry and animal husbandry. Taking advantage of the good policy of 'ten full coverage', I will build a few yurts in the forest, make a farmhouse fun, and develop leisure sightseeing and picking industry. There are many articles I can do in this forest!" Speaking of the future development of fruit forest, Zhang Zhonglin is full of confidence.

Fine forest and fruit industry is one of the leading industries focused on by the implementation of "Ten Full Coverage" Project in Azuo Banner. It is planned to develop forest and fruit industry by using the public forest belt withdrawn by farmers and herdsmen in agricultural irrigation areas such as Yaobatan, Greentan, Chahar Beach in Jilantai Town and Xitan in Wenduletu Town, collective idle land, abandoned farmland, both sides of highway and the open space in front of and behind houses and yards of farmers and herdsmen 'residential areas, and issue forest right certificates to farmers and herdsmen to ensure that farmers and herdsmen increase their income. At present, Barun Bieli Town has planted jujube trees, apples, plums, apricots, black fruit wolfberry and other forest fruits totaling 4262 mu, which not only drives the income increase of 1500 farmers and herdsmen, but also plays the role of beautifying the environment, preventing wind and fixing sand.

This year, Barun Bieli Town has newly built Oasis Culture Museum and Red History Exhibition Hall, whose unique display content attracts many tourists. Xiao Nan, a resident of Bayanhot who visited the Oasis Culture Museum, said: "It's hard to see these 'old antiques' now, but for me these are childhood memories." Especially the hand-spinning wheel, reminds me of childhood accompanied by my mother spinning rustle into the dream. Now, seeing these objects again, I am really touched." With the help of "Ten Full Coverage", Barun Bieli Town is relying on natural and cultural resources such as Guangzong Temple, a national 4A scenic spot, to vigorously develop tourism, leisure sightseeing and agriculture, and promote the integrated development of tourism and agriculture and animal husbandry.

In the process of promoting "Ten Full Coverage", Barun Bieli Town actively guided and supported farmers and herdsmen to develop house feeding and breeding, with a scale of 46,000 heads (only), built 5 large-scale breeding plants, cultivated 38 large-scale breeding households, 6000 live pigs, 3000 beef cattle, 42000 meat sheep and 10,000 poultry annually. The "Adu" mutton sheep project is one of the "representatives" that drive farmers and herdsmen to become rich.

"The policy is too good now! The Flag Poverty Alleviation Office provided me with 10 ewes for free to participate in the Azuoqi Modern Meat Sheep Science and Technology Demonstration Park. I don't have to worry about anything. I can receive 1200 yuan of dividends every year. Now I will concentrate on taking care of the more than ten mu of land at home. I believe that with the support of the government, our days will be better!" Menggentala Gacha subsistence household Wan Faying told reporters. Wan Faying said that the modern mutton sheep science and technology demonstration park of Azuo Banner is located in Menggentala Gacha, Barun Bieli Town. The park adopts the operation mode of "enterprise + cooperative + farmer and herder". It is planned to introduce 3~4 breeding enterprises, absorb local professional cooperatives, large breeding households and farmers and herdsmen into the park for breeding. Farmers and herdsmen can participate in the enterprise in the form of discount or currency for breeding ewes. On the premise of ensuring that the number of ewes owned by farmers and herdsmen does not decrease, the enterprise shall ensure the income of farmers and herdsmen by means of fixed dividends for each sheep or dividends according to the proportion of shares.

With the development of high-end animal husbandry, leisure agriculture and animal husbandry industries, Barun Bieli Town is full of vitality everywhere, and the spiritual outlook of farmers and herdsmen has changed with the improvement of living conditions. In the next step, Barun Bieli Town will rely on its industrial advantages to build an important "vegetable blue seed" base, a fine forest fruit industry demonstration area and a clean energy output base in Azuo Banner. "Industrial development is the most powerful guarantee for retaining the achievements of 'ten full coverage'." Barun Bieli Town will effectively combine the promotion of the project with the development of characteristic industries, give play to the leading role of the industry, enhance the vitality and stamina of the development of rural pastoral areas, and let every household live a good life!" Qiu Shengyu said.
