Family farmer Fan Haibao: "New Peasants should have New ideas."

After the heavy rain, dark clouds slowly gathered in the sky. This is a bit like Fan Haibao's current mood. He has planted nearly 3000 mu of wheat and has just harvested less than half of it. A heavy rain made the field muddy, the harvester could not get into the ground, and all the wheat grains began to sprout in the hot and humid weather. The weather forecast says there will be rain in the next few days. What can we do?

On the morning of June 6, the reporter came to the Sanxing Family Farm in Chen Bao Village, Daguan Town, Fengquan District, Xinxiang City, Henan Province. Fan Haibao was busy calling the operator to help: "come on!" Come on! We'll be on the ground in a minute. If you can't get off the ground, I'll fight the landlord with you! " He turned and smiled bitterly at us. "I can't help it!" They still have clients from other counties, and it's not raining there! "

Fan Haibao used to be in the business of fireworks and firecrackers, but considering that environmental issues are attracting more and more public attention, he decided to switch to invest in agriculture. In 2013, he signed a 15-year transfer contract with Chenbao Village and began to operate more than 3000 mu of land. He used to be a layman who grew crops, but his experience in business gave him a lot of confidence. He kept visiting the old farming style and went to the local agricultural research university to consult experts. Slowly, not only did he become an expert at growing crops, but his farm also became the experimental base of Henan University of Science and Technology, where new varieties and technologies were given priority, and many researchers brought students here for internship and guidance.

Speaking of the experience of the past few years, Fan Haibao felt a lot. He thinks that new farmers should have new ideas and believe in science and technology. At present, the ideas of many farmers are still too old, they are too slow to accept new things, and many of the technologies of the 1970s and 1980s have not been applied. "I can't bear to devote myself to it. For example, seed coating agent, good quality spread to the cost per mu is not much higher, but the harvest is much higher. There are varieties, the price is high is not the same, now 35 yuan (per mu) of corn seeds I do not even look at. If it costs ten or eight yuan, as long as the crops don't fall, the money will be doubled. " In recent years, he has also selected Xinong 979 and Zhengmai 9203, all of which are good things recommended by experts.

Speaking in detail, the quality of cultivated land here in Chenbao is not good. There is only a loess layer of 10 to 40 centimeters, and the bottom is the "stone boron land". The local farmer said, "if it's wet, it's hard, and it won't move until it's wet or dry." Fertilizer and water are leaking quickly! " In some places the soil cracked and a spade could be stuffed into the cracks. But Fan Haibao has a trick, "aren't you leaking fast? I'll use a self-propelled sprinkler to stop when it's just right, so that you have no water to leak." If the crops haven't quenched my thirst, I'll eat less and eat more. I used to water it twice, but now I spray it four times. " In this way, not only the water did not leak, but also the fat was preserved. Coupled with the use of fertilizers that have been tested by experts, the amount of water and fertilizer used has been greatly reduced over the years. As far as water is concerned, he has only used the same amount of water as he used in the past, and the water table has risen from 20 meters to 9 meters.

Diseases and insect pests are the enemies of farmers. Less pesticide does not work, too much pollution of the environment, food safety is not reassuring.

Fan Haibao said: "in fact, it is not difficult to solve this problem, the key lies in 'prevention', now pay attention to 'one spray three prevention', prevention in the bud. First of all, when I sow seeds, I use the method of seed mixing to prevent it from the root. Second, the experts will tell you when there will be any diseases and insects, I will spray medicine in advance and strangle it in the cradle. Also, spraying is also a technical job. In the past, it was not the way to spray a sprayer all the way, how do you do the bugs hiding under the leaves? I bought two unmanned plant protection machines, and the propeller blew the leaves' upside down'. At this time, the pesticide was sprinkled like fog. Where did it go? " In this way, there are several benefits: first of all, the emergence rate of seeds is high. Other people use 40 to 50 jin of seeds per mu, but he only uses 20 jin. Pesticides are also much less, hit once will work, who is willing to spend more money to fight ah?

Now the state has given great support to agriculture, and the state has subsidized hundreds of thousands of yuan for his drones, sprinklers and drying equipment alone. Fan Haibao is going to do a good job. "as a new farmer, managing thousands of mu of farmland, the old ideas and lack of technology are now really out of place." Standing on the ground, Fan Haibao said that after the summer harvest, he plans to go to the agricultural skills training course to recharge and raise the level, so that he can develop towards diversification in the future.
