The family farm project he founded won the excellent Entrepreneurship Project Award for College students in Jiangsu Province and Yangzhou City in 2014, and the Leech breeding Project won the Outstanding Entrepreneurship Project Award for College students in Jiangsu Province in 2015. in 2016, it won the Excellence Award in Jiangsu University Student Village official Entrepreneurship Competition, the second prize in Yangzhou University Student Village official Entrepreneurship Competition, the first prize in Jiangdu District College Student Village official Entrepreneurship Competition, and won the excellent Young Entrepreneurship Star in Yangzhou City. At the same time, it was selected into the national publicity list of college students' entrepreneurial and employment stories organized by the Ministry of Education in 2015.

Create a precedent-- set up the first family farm of college student village officials in Jiangdu

In June 2013, Sun Licheng founded the first college student village official family farm in Jiangdu District, which integrates grain cultivation and aquaculture. The farm has a total grain area of 80 mu and aquaculture area of 43 mu. "my hometown has always had the practice of mixed culture of crabs and mandarin fish, and it makes a lot of money," he said. Very few people here are engaged in crab farming, and no one has ever done mixed culture of crabs and mandarin fish. I would like to explore a way for you to play an exemplary role. "

At present, the overall planning of the family farm is the cultivation of river crabs and mandarin fish at the same time; the land is currently the cultivation of wheat and rice, and 300000 has been invested. It is expected that the second phase of expansion investment will be carried out at the end of the year, a fishing center will be established, and flowers and trees will be planted around the river ponds, while about 10 mu of land will be transferred for greenhouse vegetable and fruit cultivation, with an estimated investment of about 300000. In 2013, the total cost of river crab breeding was 106700 yuan, the sales volume was 160000 yuan, and the profit of that year was about 50, 000 yuan; in 2014, the total cost of river crab breeding was 109200 yuan, with sales of 290000 yuan, and the profit of that year was about 80, 000 yuan; in 2015, the total cost of river crab culture was 102500 yuan, and the sales volume was 250000 yuan, with a profit of about 90, 000 yuan that year; the total income of grain planting was about 2500 yuan / mu, the cost was about 1500 yuan / mu, and the profit was about 80, 000 yuan. At the same time, the farm helps three fixed villagers to find jobs every year, and uses a number of odd workers, which not only increases the collective income of the village, but also promotes the employment of many farmers.

Show your skills-- breeding leeches to lead the masses on the road to prosperity

In 2014, Sun Licheng learned that in recent years, due to the abuse of pesticides, chemical fertilizers and the environmental pollution caused by the "three wastes" of industry and agriculture, there are few sources of leeches, and wild leeches alone can no longer meet the needs of the pharmaceutical industry. Artificial leech culture has a bright future. As a result, he went to Yancheng, Gaoyou and Baoying many times to conduct on-the-spot investigation and study to learn leech breeding techniques. Through market analysis and benefit demonstration, in July 2014, he raised funds from all sides and decisively invested 200000 yuan to build the first phase of a 400 square meter leech breeding pond. He said: "you must do what you are sure of, and if you want to do it, you must do it with your heart." During the construction period, he seldom went home and devoted himself to the construction site, not afraid of the scorching sun and regardless of mosquito bites. Some people once worried that he was "thin-skinned and tender, a scholar, and could not bear this suffering." however, he took practical actions to dispel people's doubts and won the praise of the masses.

In April 2015, he invested another 900000 yuan to expand the area of the leech pond to 3000 square meters. The farm also promotes the employment of five fixed farmers, and at the same time, every leech breeding season, feeding and maintenance; after the end of breeding, fishing and drying requires a lot of labor, which not only promotes the employment of farmers, but also increases family income.

Under the guidance of his demonstration, at present, the number of local leech farmers has increased to 9, with a total area of nearly 200mu. In 2015, the total output of the town was about 160000 jin of leeches, with total sales of about 15 million yuan. He hopes that through his own experience, he can help every household, constantly increase the income of farmers, and drive the villagers to become rich together. "I just want to introduce new projects through my demonstration and enhance the confidence and determination of the masses to get rich," he said.
