Pingliang Jingning: "Niu" on the way to Wealth

Not long ago, Zhang Yonghong, a villager of Xicha Village, Gucheng Town, Jingning County, sold a cow in his family for more than 14000 yuan. Lao Zhang, holding a bunch of hundred-yuan bills, said happily, "you don't have to go out to work, you can make a lot of money by raising cattle at home."

Xicha village in ancient urban and rural areas has vertical and horizontal gullies and frequent natural disasters, because it is a pure mountain area, so the drought is particularly serious. coupled with the inconvenient local transportation and blocked information, the life of the masses was once very difficult.

The only sufficient resource in the village is 2948 mu of arable land, which has always been dominated by traditional agriculture and forage grass, such as corn, potato, alfalfa and so on. In 2012, Xicha Village was fortunate to receive the help of Jingning County maintenance Station, which accurately formulated a plan to help people get rich through the development of cattle industry according to the advantages of Xicha Village.

Nowadays, raising cattle has become the leading industry of the people in the west. Like the Zhang Yonghong family, the villager Zhang Suibing raised 12 cattle. He told the reporter that if he didn't go out for a year, he could earn 70,000 to 80,000 yuan by buying a few cows.

Zhang Suibing pointed to the mountains of corn straw beside him while powdering feed with his wife, and said: "with these, raising cattle is not afraid." By the time two pregnant cows give birth, there will be 14 cows in the family. I'm a little busy, but the economic benefits are really good. "

"in the past, the old people in my family were sick, their living conditions were poor, they were in debt, and people often came to the house to collect money. at that time, it was really not my taste. Now, by raising cattle, I have renovated my house and bought four-wheelers for transportation. My life is much better." Zhang Suibing said.

Like Zhang Suibing, he built a new house by raising cattle, and not a few villagers bought a new car. At present, cattle farmers in Xicha village account for 65% of the total number of households, and the number of farmers is 2319.

Standing in a standardized bullpen, villager Chang Zhizhong pointed to a smooth, fat calf and said happily, "do you think my Charolais is beautiful?" This year, two old cows will also give birth to a new breed of Niuwa. "

It is understood that in order to increase economic benefits, the village has made great efforts to introduce new breeds of cattle with short feeding cycle, fast fattening and considerable economic benefits, such as Charolais, Limu Station and Nandewen. In 2016, Murakami added 20 high-standard cattle farmers and 100 new breeds of cattle.

Liu Yucai, a village branch secretary, has been a village cadre for 30 years. When he was in his sixties, he originally reached the age of enjoying peace and happiness, but now he is running around for the masses, fighting for funds for raising cattle and vigorously promoting new techniques for raising cattle. "We want to turn the grass all over the mountains into money by raising cattle, so that everyone can lead a good life." Liu Zhishu said.

Liu Zhishu pointed to the 6.4-kilometer flat road in the village and told me that the road was built with the help of the county maintenance station last year. It changed the situation that there was no way out in the village in the past, and the most important thing is to allow unimpeded cars to transport cattle out of the mountain and sell them.

Since the maintenance station connected with Xicha Village, Yang Wen, a cadre of the station, has eaten and lived in Xicha Village, conscientiously formulating various development plans for the village, striving for funds, organizing people to build roads, pressing drainage pipes, and inviting technicians to train cattle raising skills. He told me that everyone had chosen the right way to help Xicha Village develop the cattle industry to shake off poverty and become rich.
