Liu Fengkui's Road to Rich Gastrodia elata

He is a famous Gastrodia elata planting expert in Zhenba, he is the person in charge of Zhenba's largest Tianma breeding base, and he is the guide who leads nearly 200 families to shake off poverty and become rich, with curiosity and doubt, the author recently walked into the Tianding breeding base of Liu Fengkui, Hongshi Village, Xiaoyang Town, Zhenba County. The room full of Tianma flowers is spectacular and makes people's eyes bright. he and his cooperative partners are busy pollinating sexual Gastrodia elata. In their spare time, they talk to him about his "way to get rich."

"born with Gastrodia elata."

Hongshi Village, Xiaoyang Town, Zhenba County, where Liu Fengkui is located, is located in the hinterland of Daba Mountain. The average elevation of the whole village is 1000 meters. The mountain is deep, arable land is scarce, and the land is barren. The villagers take migrant workers as their main source of income, and the poor account for 30%. It has always been the villagers' dream to get rid of poverty and become rich.

"after graduating from high school, it is not ideal to engage in the traditional cultivation of Lentinus edodes and birds and chickens. They may be born with Gastrodia elata, and eventually become 'Gastrodia elata'." When it comes to Gastrodia elata industry, Liu Fengkui is overjoyed. Liu Fengkui, who had never thought of planting Gastrodia elata before, with the continuous increase of state support for agriculture, saw the great potential for the development of agricultural industry, coupled with engaging in traditional cultivation such as Lentinus edodes, and had certain experience in strain cultivation. Liu Fengkui aimed at Gastrodia elata cultivation and decided to take the road of large-scale cultivation and development.

At the beginning of 2008, he raised funds in many ways, built a new strain breeding room, and cultivated more than 500 nests of Gastrodia elata in the traditional way. due to the underestimation of the difficulties in planting Gastrodia elata, coupled with the lack of planting technology, the cultivation of Gastrodia elata failed in the first year.

"Science and technology is the magic weapon of success."

In the face of failure, Liu Fengkui did not flinch and went to Hanzhong Agricultural Research Institute to study the planting technology of Gastrodia elata for three months. Liu Fengkui, who learned the professional knowledge of planting, immediately returned to the village to practice. In 2009, wild cultivation of Gastrodia elata was a success with a sales income of more than 100,000 yuan and a net income of more than 40,000 yuan. he could not help but sigh deeply that "science and technology is the magic weapon of success". The people around him saw the considerable benefits brought by Liu Fengkui's cultivation of Gastrodia elata. They followed him to learn the planting techniques of Gastrodia elata. He organized the masses to study together, practiced together, and went to the cultivation site for guidance free of charge. Gradually he became the leader of Gastrodia elata cultivation in the village. Led by him, 15 households planted more than 5000 nests of Gastrodia elata in 2010, with a net income of 200000 yuan.

When he saw in the Gastrodia elata planting books that sexual reproduction can reduce costs and increase output, he devoted himself to the study of Gastrodia elata sexual reproduction, limited by knowledge and lack of relevant equipment and technology. Gastrodia elata sexual reproduction encountered obstacles and "bottlenecks". He went to Hanzhong to hire experts to the village for technical guidance, and went to Hubei to purchase equipment. Through unremitting efforts, Gastrodia elata sexual reproduction experiment was successful. At this time, the cost of each nest of Gastrodia elata should be reduced by about 30%. In 2011, he provided free pollen to the people around him. In that year, he supported eight families to plant more than 8000 nests. Due to lower costs and increased output, the net income of Gastrodia elata reached more than 300000 yuan at the end of the next year.

"people who are rich are really rich."

"people who are rich are really rich, and it is Liu Fengkui's greatest wish to make the co-operative grow stronger and the pockets of its members bulge. In early 2013, the Xiaoyang town party committee and government responded positively to the call of the party committee and government of Xiaoyang town to develop industries and increase farmers' income. With the guidance of county development and reform, poverty alleviation and other departments, the Xingmin Gastrodia specialized cooperative was set up to innovate the new agricultural development style of "cooperative + base + peasant household". The county development and reform bureau supported Gastrodia elata drying equipment worth 100000 yuan, and the county poverty alleviation office coordinated more than 200,000 yuan of funds to help cooperatives speed up the development of Gastrodia elata industry. To help more people increase their income and become rich. In 2015, the cooperative has more than 100 members, with a planting area of 35000 nests and an annual output value of more than 2000 million yuan. At present, it has developed into the largest planting base of Gastrodia elata in the county.

"seeing that the development momentum of sexual Gastrodia elata reproduction is so good, and large-scale cultivation, there is no risk of that kind of Gastrodia elata? In the face of doubt, Liu Fengkui told the author: "due to honest management and high-quality service, we have won the trust and praise of customers. We have signed purchase and sales contracts with a number of merchants, the sales channels are smooth, and the cooperative members are uniformly purchased by the cooperative. Unified sales to Hubei, Sichuan and other places. In the next step, he will continue to expand the coverage of members and teach more people the techniques he has mastered in hemp planting. He plans to promote the planting of 50,000 nests in 2016, strive to exceed 4 million yuan in annual output value, and lead more people to become rich.
