Ninghe District, Tianjin: the "King of Peach" who leads the whole village to become rich

"Peach trees have grown well in the past two years. According to the results of four years, peach trees of this variety, Baifeng, can produce 3,000 Mu of land of 4,500 jin. Even if they are sold at 10 yuan for 3 jin, they can earn at least 10,000 yuan." The speaker is the well-known "King of Peach" Ma Yongbao in Miaozao Village, Miaozhuang Town, Ninghe District.

Ma Yongbao is a famous person in Miao Zao Village. The land of Miao jujube village belongs to Tuihai saline-alkali land, which is suitable for planting peach trees. Therefore, the village has a history of growing peaches for more than 40 years, but now the most famous one in the village is Ma Yongbao. After years of climbing and rolling, he has accumulated rich experience in growing peaches. The peach trees he planted are big, greasy and sweet. When the villagers talk about Ma Yongbao, they praise them without clapping their hands.

A single flower does not make a spring. Ma Yongbao, who grew peaches and became rich, thought of the other villagers in the village.

"in 2014, the state called for fruit trees to be planted and subsidized. At that time, the village secretary and village head came to me to discuss setting up a cooperative to get rich with everyone. This idea hit it off with me." Ma Yongbao recalled the beginning of the establishment of the society.

On January 25, 2015, the Baole Fruit planting Professional Cooperative, led by Ma Yongbao and joined by 49 villagers, came into being.

"at that time, I had only one goal, that is, to make the whole village rich and make our peaches sell better and farther." Ma Yongbao said.

The cooperative adopts the mode of "unified management + individual management", and the superiority of the collective and the enthusiasm of the individual are brought into full play at the same time. In 2015, under the guidance of Ma Yongbao, villagers participating in the cooperative planted 38 peach trees on one mu of land, with an output of 150,200 jin per tree, with a market price of 5 yuan per jin and a considerable income.

Seeing that the operation of the cooperative was so prosperous, the villagers who initially held a wait-and-see attitude could not sit still and asked to join the cooperative one after another, but this made Ma Yongbao difficult.

Ma Yongle, the village secretary, went to Ma Yongbao on behalf of the villagers who wanted to join the club, hoping to expand the cooperative and absorb more villagers to get rich. Ma Yongbao did not want to, but what if the harvest next year is not good, or if it is not good to sell, he is afraid of betraying everyone's trust.

Secretary Ma understands Ma Yongbao's worries, but they all know that they can't give up the chance to get rich in the whole village because of difficulties. After several discussions, Ma Yongbao no longer had too many worries, and finally made up his mind to make the Baole fruit growing professional cooperative bigger and stronger.

Today, the number of farmers participating in cooperatives has reached 106, with a planting area of 1100 mu. Ma Yongbao is not only a local celebrity and busy person, but also the most trusted capable person of peach farmers. He knows the planting situation of each household like the back of his hand, and whose peach tree has a problem, and which peach farmer encounters difficulties in planting technology, the first reaction is to find him. As long as you find Ma Yongbao, you can solve the problem.

After more than a year of development, cooperatives continue to grow. On the original basis, Ma Yongbao has actively created agricultural products with ecological characteristics under the forest, which has become another new highlight of the development of the whole village.
