Return to hometown to start a Business and pursue your Dream bravely-- Li Tao, a college student on the road to green prosperity

Li Tao, a college student in Linze County, became an urban white-collar envied by others after graduation from university, but he resolutely gave up his career in the metropolis, returned to his hometown to develop modern agriculture with his family, and bravely pursued his dream of green entrepreneurship and prosperity.

When he saw Li Tao, he was checking the growth of plateau summer vegetables in the arch shed. Looking at the green and happy baby vegetables, Li Tao happily said to reporters: "We signed a vegetable purchase contract with Linze Baihui Company. You see, now the first crop of vegetables grows so well. When they are listed and sold in May, they can earn at least 400,000 yuan."

Li Tao, 28, graduated from Beijing Institute of Electronic Science and Technology in July 2009 majoring in electronic information engineering and successfully joined Beijing's advertising planning industry, becoming an urban white-collar worker, but the distance did not let him give up his thoughts on his hometown and relatives. In October 2005, after hearing that the state supports the development of modern agriculture more and more vigorously, many relatives and friends in his hometown have embarked on the road to prosperity through agriculture, Li Tao was moved, so he resolutely abandoned his career in Beijing and returned to Xinhua Village, Xinhua Town, his hometown, ready to sublease rural farmer land to develop green modern agriculture. "I think the county supports the development of facility vegetables very strongly, and the benefits of planting vegetables by others are very good, so I have also transferred 173 mu of land to develop open-field and arched plateau summer vegetable planting, which will certainly have a good income." Li Tao introduced said.

It's easier said than done. When Li Tao talked with the villagers about the land transfer contract, he encountered great resistance. Land is the main source of our life. What should we do if it flows out? What about bad land management? Doubts from villagers followed. In order to dispel villagers 'concerns, Li Tao discussed with village cadres and talked with villagers one by one. With his efforts for more than a month, he finally got through the ideological work of villagers. In December 2015, Li Tao raised 900,000 yuan to establish Jinshuoyuan Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Planting Professional Cooperative, transferred 700 mu of farmer land from 1 and 2 communities of the village at a price of 1000 yuan per mu, built 91 steel frame greenhouses, signed a contract with Linze County New Cooperation Baihui Company to plant more than 170 mu of baby vegetables, broccoli and other arched sheds and open-field plateau summer vegetables. At the same time, he signed stevia order contracts with Linze County Minsheng Stevia Professional Cooperative for more than 300 mu. The remaining 200 mu of silage corn was planted, and the road of "flower style" green modern agricultural development was embarked on.

The development of modern agriculture cannot be separated from scientific management technology. As a "layman" of planting, Li Tao regularly participates in the training of agricultural science and technology planting technology organized by the county agricultural department. At the same time, he actively consults other planting experts and uses the evening time to study online, finally making him change from a layman to an expert in planting. "Now I know basic vegetable management and pest control techniques, and I have been hired as a farmer technician to be responsible for technical guidance in the district." Li Tao said proudly.

Speaking of the next development plan, Li Tao said confidently: "I want to further expand the planting scale, strive to expand the planting area to more than 1000 mu, at the same time provide technical guidance for the villagers, and lead more villagers to embark on the road of green development and prosperity."
