Thousands of mu of mountain seedlings get rich skillfully by digging ditches and transporting water

The original title: "Agriculture is an industry with hope."

Xu Peiying and the staff are looking at the picture of seedling growth.

Xu Peiying:

After "85", the new farmers contracted 1140 mu of mountain seedlings and set up a Huzhou Golden Wheat ear Fruit and vegetable Cooperative to plant characteristic seedlings dominated by colored varieties.

Comprehensive report on the express train for agriculture, rural areas and farmers: with short hair and a smile without a word, it seems that he is not old, but his crisp spirit appears to be very mature, which is the first impression given by Xu Peiying.

Xu Peiying is a "post-85" new farmer who visited Miaoxi Town, Wuxing District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province during the 30th division-level cadre class of the Party School of the Ministry of Agriculture. Four years ago, she began to contract 1140 mu of mountain seedlings and successively established Huzhou Sangnong Ecological Agriculture Co., Ltd., and Huzhou Golden Wheat ear Fruit and vegetable Professional Cooperative. Now, it is a characteristic nursery stock base with tens of thousands of seedlings and dominated by color varieties. This young woman, who is not yet 30 years old, is already on the road of starting a business in rural areas.

However, the road is not smooth. In 2012, Xu Peiying, only 24 years old, went to Miaoxi Town with 2 million yuan, transferred 1140 mu of land and bought 300000 red-heart pomelo trees, ready for a big fight. But the reality is cruel, the saplings all died in the first winter. "in fact, I have also done preliminary research, but I still have no experience. The temperature in the mountains of Miaoxi Town is several degrees lower than that in the urban area, and the red heart pomelo is frozen to death." Xu Peiying told the reporter: "that 2 million is the family demolition money, all at once lost."

All the partners left at that time, but Xu Peiying could not leave. 1140 mu of land had signed a 30-year contract with the farmers. She borrowed another 600000 and planted 1 million metasequoia trees, starting with relatively cheap metasequoia seedlings. It was from this time that she really realized the power of science and technology. At that time, Zhejiang Agriculture and Forestry University opened a leading talent class in modern agriculture, and she began to learn to improve herself.

The learning results were quickly tested. In 2013, she planted 20 mu of Acer truncatum for a company. "as a result, there was a great drought that year, the reservoir bottomed out, and people couldn't get water, let alone watered the trees." It was a matter of credibility to give it to others in the first year. Xu Peiying was so anxious that he couldn't eat, so he thought about it in the field.

"I cleaned up the land and dug a lot of ditches before the seedlings were planted, in order to resist waterlogging." There happened to be a small puddle in the field, and there was no way to water it, so she pumped the water out and drained it into the canal and let the tree take root and absorb it.

In this way, 20 mu of saplings were saved, but what was even more unexpected for her was that when the seedlings grew on the ground at the beginning of the next spring, other people's seedlings grew to more than 1 meter a year, and hers grew to 2.4 meters.

What's going on here? She used her head again. After careful study, it is found that the method of releasing water into the ditch works, because the plant has the characteristic of growing towards water, and in a dry environment, where there is water, the root system of the plant will grow in that direction. She carries water into these ditches more than 80 centimeters deep, and when the water seeps into the ground, the roots of the trees on the edge of the ditch grow with the seeping water. So the roots of many saplings reach more than 2 meters underground. The foundation has been laid, and as soon as the growing season comes, the saplings will grow at once. "Technology creates value. How to use the least resources to create the maximum value? It is to summarize and apply these technologies. " Xu Peiying said.

Xu Peiying is not satisfied that she earns hard money just by raising seedlings for others. She is also eager to have her own "core weapon." As her base becomes larger and larger, more and more enterprises come to raise seedlings, and some scientific research institutes and enterprises also use it as an internship and scientific research base to select seedlings and breed.

"I saw some teachers come with doctoral students to select seedlings, put labels on the selected trees, and focus on poaching them the following year. I also followed the example of how they chose, and put up a label myself. " Xu Peiying said. The next year, the labeled trees were red, orange and purple, and their colors were brighter and purer than other trees. "there was a tree whose whole tree was golden. When I took it to the fair, I shouted that 200 were sold at once, and the price increased a hundredfold." Later, she stopped selling and used these mutated trees to build her own gene bank. "there are already more than 2000 excellent seedlings with bright colors, including yellow, red, purple and orange, of which orange is the most beautiful." Breed your own varieties with these excellent seedlings.

In the course of the investigation of the 30th office-level cadre class of the Party School of the Ministry of Agriculture, the students lamented that the aging problem of agricultural practitioners was very serious, and local farmers in their sixties were considered young. Xu Peiying, a new farmer born in the "post-85" generation, knows how to operate, and his spirit of daring to venture is like a fresh wind, which brings vitality to agriculture. "many young people don't want to work in agriculture. In fact, I think agriculture is the most promising industry." Xu Peiying said. (our reporter Jiang Na)
