The secret of Weng Shunyu, a professional vegetable farmer, to grow vegetables without worrying about selling

Weng Shunyu observes the growth of new tomato varieties introduced this year in the field.

This is a group of dreamers and entrepreneurs walking on the vast land. Their dreams depend on the land, but they are different from traditional farmers. They come from a wide range of sources, from highly educated successful people to grass-roots farmers rooted in rural areas, but they have a common name-new farmers. They use wisdom to engage in scientific and systematic agricultural production and entrepreneurship activities, and inject new elements and energy into the transformation of traditional agriculture with new farming techniques, new marketing thinking and new circulation methods.

Starting today, this newspaper launched the column of "Bayu New Farmers". The reporter will go deep into the field to explore their far-reaching significance in promoting China's agricultural modernization process. Stay tuned.

Weng Shunyu is Beibei District Liuyin Town Maliuhe Village Chongqing Shuangrun vegetable professional cooperative responsible person, May 4, when the reporter saw her, she is picking out the poor quality of zucchini to the surrounding villagers.

Weng Shunyu is a little different from ordinary vegetable farmers. Her biggest feature is her accurate analysis of the vegetable market and her high connection with the market. What should be planted on the land in this season? How? Everything revolved around the market, which allowed her to find her own way among many vegetable farmers.

Turn around the market and plant "exclusive dishes" frequently

Weng Shunyu, 49 years old, worked with his parents since childhood. After marriage, he ran passenger transport with her husband, sold furniture and did vegetable wholesale in Panxi. At the end of 2006, she transferred 200 mu of land to Liuyin Town, Beibei District, and began to plant vegetables.

Weng Shunyu's vegetables are different from those of the surrounding vegetable farmers: in terms of vegetable varieties, only "exclusive" is selected.

Take the scion eggplant she planted, for example, these days the wholesale price reached 3-3.5 yuan per catty, but also in short supply, which makes the surrounding vegetable farmers envy. When she changed the scion eggplant variety last year, no one understood, because the eggplant black beauty was already the fifth eggplant variety she changed, and the price was good. But according to the wholesale trend of vegetables in Panxi market, she still insists on trying to grow this scion eggplant with better taste and softer flesh. Sure enough, this year's market confirmed her vision, but she did not complacent, and began to examine the next variety.

She's got a lot more than eggplant. Years of wholesale vegetable experience makes Weng Shunyu particularly receptive to new varieties.

As long as there are new vegetable varieties on the market, even if they have a little more advantages than the current varieties, she will find seeds for trial planting and promote them on a large scale after success. Over the past few years, four or five vegetable varieties have been replaced every year, which also makes her vegetables more in line with the market, so there is no problem in selling naturally.

Make a good time difference and plant "four seasons dishes" skillfully

It is not difficult to find a market for your own vegetables. The difficulty is how to sell your own vegetables at a higher price than others. Weng Shunyu, who is good at using his brain, also planted 200 mu of vegetable fields according to the changes in market demand and the length of vegetable growth period, so as to improve the land utilization rate to the greatest extent and improve the vegetable planting efficiency.

Her 200 mu land is planted with 6-8 varieties all the year round, each vegetable is about 20-30 mu, and the growth cycle is mostly 50-100 days. In this way, it can not only guarantee the quality and quantity of suppliers, but also reasonably plan the "time difference" of vegetables to market and control market risks.

For example, these days is the peak season of early cucumber market, but she did not catch this crop, but planted cucumber in the newly planted cauliflower field. In this way, her cucumbers will be able to catch up with the market in mid-June early cucumbers, summer cucumbers have not kept up with the gap period listed, do not worry about the price is not high.

Not only that, in her skillful hand "collocation", home an acre of land a year can grow at least three seasons of vegetables, up to four seasons.

How do you grow this seasonal dish? Weng Shunyu said: This season sells zucchini, May harvest immediately after the cowpea, September harvest cowpea planting baby vegetables, November harvest baby vegetables and then plant spinach, just right, four seasons vegetables!

Planting does not follow the trend, specializing in "slow-selling vegetables"

It is easy to "follow the trend" in planting industry. This year, the price of any vegetable is high, and everyone will rush to go all out. As a result, it is easy to lead to oversupply and low vegetable prices hurting farmers. In recent years, many frequent cases of slow sales of vegetables and fruits stem from this.

This kind of thing sees much, Weng Shunyu will do the opposite, what dish on the market is slow-selling, she grows what dish. Because the low price of vegetables hurt farmers 'enthusiasm, in the next listing season, this kind of vegetables will sell at a good price due to short supply.

For example, last year on the market of green beans and gluten free beans prices are high, loofah can not sell off, the lowest price is only two or three jiao a catty. When she planned this year's land use, she cancelled the planting plan of green beans and tenderless beans and planted loofah instead. Seeing that loofah is on the market this year, many vegetable dealers have called in advance to ask for goods, and the price is more than 2 yuan a catty.

Take the cucumbers that are being planted these days, for example, the wholesale price is now only two or three jiao a catty, vegetable farmers simply do not earn much money. At this time, originally planned to plant cowpea she immediately changed the use of 10 acres of empty land, all planted cucumber,"according to previous years experience and current market, estimated this year cucumber market, can sell at least 2 more than a catty." Weng Shunyu said confidently.
