Watching a string of walnut blossoms blooming on the branches, Cui Hailong, owner of the walnut orchard in Zhangsigou Village, Chuandi Township, Zezhou County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, showed a satisfied smile on his face: a professional team of 30 walnut pruning team was skillfully pruning walnut trees in 350 mu orchards; a fruit tree fertilizing machine motor roared and went back and forth under the tree to fertilize the walnut trees.

Cui Hailong said that this walnut management team, like a "nanny", is a professional walnut management team of Shanxi Jincheng Green Dream Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. Cui Hailong's walnut income increased from more than 1000 yuan per mu to nearly 6000 yuan last year. The annual cost of management and protection per mu is only 300 yuan.

In recent years, with the steady rise of walnut market prices, the enthusiasm of people all over Shanxi to grow walnuts is unprecedentedly high. coupled with the government's free subsidy for walnut seedlings, the planting area of walnuts is increasing. Jincheng alone has as much as 270000 mu. However, due to the common people's unprofessional technology, lack of investment and other factors, resulting in low walnut yield, poor quality, unable to form a market competitiveness, resulting in the situation of "some people planted trees unattended" in some places.

"with a fragmented farming model, it is very difficult to form a large quantity of high-quality agricultural products, and it is impossible to achieve economies of scale and income growth." Jiao Nan studied agricultural supply-side reform when he was in college. Inspired by more than 400 mu of walnut forest planted by his father, he decided to reform the agricultural supply structure to help farmers plant walnut trees into a "cash cow" to shake off poverty and become rich. With the help of his father, Jiao Nan set up a Green Dream Agricultural Technology Development Co., Ltd., forming a 30-member and experienced walnut management team to take care of walnut trees for farmers who planted trees but could not manage them. According to the labor cost, the service fee of one mu of walnut orchard is only 297.4 yuan for one mu of walnut orchard, from grafting, pruning, fertilization, ploughing, weeding, pest control to picking and sales.

Yan Runbing, secretary of the party branch of Xingwang Village, Beiliu Town, Yangcheng County, told reporters: "the Green Dream is really timely rain, which not only helps the village, but also gives real benefits to the common people." Xingwang Village is a professional walnut planting village, 1053 mu of land has been planted on walnut trees, but the management has been unable to keep up, and the income of ordinary people can not keep up. Last September, Green Dream signed a trusteeship contract with 256 farmers in the village, which was also responsible for underwriting, and the fee was settled when selling walnuts. Jiao Nan plans to transform the 1000-mu walnut orchard in Xingwang Village into a demonstration orchard for improving quality and efficiency in three years.

Li Longdan is a big walnut grower in Yangquan Village, Qinchi Town, Yangcheng County. More than 60 mu of walnut trees have been planted for 5 years. Last winter, he asked the professional and technical team of Green Dream to carry out a comprehensive pruning, and the walnut tree has now spit out a string of tidbits. The 120 mu walnut tree planted by Zhang Yonghong in Guohe Village, Xihe Township, also grew gratifying after the technical staff of Green Dream fertilized the disease and wiped out the famine.

The fragrance outside the wall blossoms, and the Green Dream Company is famous for its excellent supply. At present, more than 1300 walnut growers in more than 50 villages in 25 townships in Yangcheng County, Zezhou County, Gaoping City and Qinshui County have signed more than 5000 mu of standardized dry fruit economic forest demonstration park agreements with them. Jiao Nan's father, Jiao Xiangming, said happily: "there are more and more people asking 'nannies' to take care of walnut trees every day, and we don't have enough manpower."

When Green Dream is promoting the "walnut nanny", it also pays attention to personnel training. By "go out to study, please come in to teach" and other ways, Jiao Dianmin, Zheng Shuqing and other four young farmers have also received the "National Professional and Technical personnel knowledge Renewal Engineering training Certificate" issued by the Management cadre College of the State Forestry Administration, and have become technical masters in the "walnut nanny".
