Shima Village, Jingyan County, Sichuan Province: lotus root harvest villagers smiled

In August, the wind is high and clear, and the trees and insects are singing on both sides. Walking on the rural road leading to Shima Village, Zhoupo Town, Jingyan County, the vast expanse of lotus fields beside the road can not be seen at a glance. The villagers are digging up sections of fat and sturdy lotus roots from under the lotus leaves and getting on the car. this is a hot harvest scene in the lotus root cooperative planting area of Shima Village 2.

Poverty alleviation has entered an accelerated period, what on earth can lotus root planting bring to Shima village? The author goes on all the way, ready to find out.

Transferring land to get rid of poverty depends on industry

Shima Village is located in the hills, the mountains are dense, and the road communication is relatively close. if you want to complete the task of getting rid of poverty and taking off your hat, it is the key to find the right way.

"We have professional technology, personnel and equipment, coupled with government policy support, we all have more to do!" Next to Hetian, owner Zhang Fengguang was very excited at the high-yielding lotus root. "Shima Village Group 2 is very suitable for lotus root planting, so we chose this lotus root project in accordance with local conditions."

It is understood that Shima Village originally planted 90 mu of lotus root, the harvest has been very stable. Since the poverty alleviation work was carried out, the poverty alleviation working group and cadres of towns, villages, and groups have repeatedly investigated and demonstrated, selected this project and expanded the planting area to 300 mu.

"one mu can dig about 3,000 jin, and now the price is about 2 yuan." Master Zhang, who dug lotus root, said a word about the considerable benefits of planting lotus root. The author also calculated in mind that apart from the cost of 3,000 or 4,000 yuan per mu, the income should not be a problem. 300mu, isn't that 1 million?

With so many lotus roots, will there be any problems in marketing? "Chengdu, the market is big, our lotus root transportation in the past is not worried about the market." The young man who looked like a supervisor seemed to see my doubts.

"the majority of poor families in our village due to illness and disability account for the majority of all poor families. many families have no labor force and there is nothing they can do to keep the land. If the land is transferred to professionals and cooperatives, the land will no longer be abandoned, and the poor households will have their own industries and security for a stable life. With the dividend at the end of the year, it is not a problem for these poor families to get out of poverty! " Deng Yonggang, the secretary of the village branch, said with confidence.
