Jia Dexuan: return to his hometown, start a business, raise cattle and become rich and never forget his fellow villagers.

Judd, 46, is a native of Banzhulin Village, Panlong Town, Nanbu County. over the past 30 years, he has grown from a small worker on a construction site to the boss of the company with more than 1000 workers. In 2014, Judd, who became rich and did not forget his villagers, chose to return to his hometown and set up an ecological cattle farm. Through innovative farming models, he embarked on a road of development that led the villagers to become rich together.

Start a business and successfully return to your hometown to raise cattle

In 1986, the 16-year-old Judd chose to give up his studies to make a living in Xi'an. Starting from a small worker on the construction site, he expanded his career step by step, and successively set up a labor service company and a construction company, with more than 1,000 employees and assets of 80 million yuan.

In early 2014, Judd came up with the idea of returning home to start a business. In May of that year, after multi-party inspection, Jia de invested 10 million yuan to transfer more than 1000 mu of abandoned land in Panlong Town, Banzhu Forest, Miaogao Temple, and Huoshenya Village, and built an ecological farm with a total area of 6000 square meters in Banzhulin Village, and set up a professional farmers' cooperative in Nanbu County to raise Simmental beef cattle.

Judd chose to adopt the ecological breeding model of "combination of planting and breeding". Two large septic tanks were built to carry out the dry and sparse diversion of cattle feces. After fermentation, all dry manure was used to plant corn, ryegrass, yellow bamboo grass and other feed for beef cattle in the farm. After all urine was treated through septic tanks, it was used to irrigate fruit trees and corn, ryegrass and yellow bamboo grass through sprinkler irrigation projects. This circular planting and breeding model can not only save breeding costs, but also ensure the quality and ecological protection of beef.

After more than two years of development, at present, the farm produces 600 beef cattle a year, with an annual output value of more than 7.2 million yuan. In December 2015, the farm was named "Beef cattle Standardization demonstration Farm" by the Ministry of Agriculture and the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry. In May this year, the cooperative was rated as a "municipal model cooperative" by the municipal agriculture and animal husbandry department.

Lead the villagers to develop together

On July 19, when the author came to the feed processing workshop of the farm, several villagers were putting bundles of straw into the corn straw kneading machine.

"after crushing, the straw becomes a good green fodder." Jia Dexuan said that raising beef cattle has a great demand for green fodder. in addition to growing green fodder, it is also necessary to purchase more than 1000 tons of straw from nearby villagers at a price of 300 yuan per ton, so as to increase the income of local farmers. and prevent farmers from burning straw on the spot to pollute the air.

"aquaculture is a labor-intensive industry." According to Jade Xuan, every day, he hires more than 40 villagers to help him take care of the daily management of the farm, and the annual labor expenditure of the farm amounts to 1.5 million yuan.

Zhao Bin from Tongma'an Village of the town is one of them. Zhao Bin was selected by Judd as a manager, responsible for the daily management of the farm, with a monthly salary of 5000 yuan.

In recent years, in order to improve the production and living conditions of Banzhulin Village, Jia Dexuan donated more than 300,000 yuan to help the village build one kilometer of cement road and lay 600 meters of bluestone Benmin Road. After returning to his hometown to start a business, he invested more than 1.6 million yuan to build a 4-kilometer industrial road and a Shanpingtang with an area of about 10 mu, which not only facilitated himself, but also improved the production and living conditions of the local people.

Innovative mechanisms to help lift people out of poverty

Leading the villagers to get rich together is the original intention of Judd's choice to return to his hometown to start a business. How to encourage more villagers, especially the poor people, to shake off poverty and become rich together? In December last year, after extensive consultation, Jia decided to lead more villagers out of poverty through the "managed farming" model of "cooperatives + farmers + poor households".

"managed farming means that the farm will feed the cows that enter the breeding period to the willing villagers for free. After the cows give birth, the farm will buy calves from the villagers at the market price. If the villagers are not willing to continue to raise the cows, they can return them to the farm." Jia Dexuan said that trusteeship and breeding are provided by cooperatives with technical guidance, business training, epidemic prevention management and other services, and farmers are only responsible for daily stocking and care.

"the managed farming model has found a way for us to make money without spending our own capital." The villager told Chunmao that in November last year, the cow in his care successfully gave birth to a calf, which brought 4000 yuan to his family only three months later. Xiang Chunmao is going to the farm to take care of a cow. "in this way, raising cattle can earn 8000 yuan a year."

"thanks to the cooperative for providing us with a way to increase our income." Yang Zongming, 67, a poor household in Banzhulin Village, also hosted two cows in the cooperative at the beginning of this year. "at the end of the year, when the cows give birth, plus crops and wages, we can get out of poverty on time."

It is understood that at present, a total of 30 households in the two villages of Banzhulin and Miaogao Temple have entrusted 42 cows of the cooperative, of which 10 poor households have entrusted 16.
