Liu Lingjun: Professional Farmers Read and Live "Grain Cultivation Classic"

"in the past few years, I have been able to get rich by farming, there are three main tricks: scale development, scientific planting, and the combination of strong and strong." On March 22, in the wheat field north of Cuilou Village, Huiting Town, Xiayi County, the reporter saw Liu Lingjun, a new professional farmer who was checking the situation of wheat seedlings. When talking about the story of getting rich by farming, the inarticulate Lao Liu suddenly opened the chatterbox.

"only by planting on a large scale can you reduce costs." This is Lao Liu's first "True Sutra". According to Lao Liu, his family now transfers more than 560 mu of land, all of which are rented from other farmers at the price of 900 yuan per mu of land per year. "in fact, renting land from other farmers is a win-win choice. Because your family 3 mu, his family 5 mu, the cost of farming is high, but also not good. I rent their land not only can earn money, farmers do not suffer losses, the output efficiency of the land is also higher. " Because of the large amount of land, Liu Lingjun equipped with combine harvester, large rotary tiller, fertilizer spreader, seeder and other machinery. "renting other people's machinery to harvest wheat costs more than 100 yuan per mu of land, while using your own machinery, the fuel cost is less than 40 yuan, so the cost is much less."

Lao Liu's second experience in farming is scientific planting. Every year, he takes soil from different plots, goes to the agricultural technology department for testing, and carries out formula fertilization according to soil fertility and yield expectations. "in this way, the crops will not be 'overnourished', nor will they be 'underfed', nor will they cause waste of fertilizer, so the yield will naturally be high." Lao Liu said. In addition, in the process of growing grain, he is also promoting new agricultural technologies such as rapid rot of straw and deep loosening of soil, which have laid the foundation for increasing grain production.

The combination of strong and strong is the third experience of Lao Liu in farming. Because he is a big grain grower, Lao Liu is also a little famous in the breeding circle. In recent years, Liu Lingjun has cooperated with many seed companies and scientific research institutions, such as Henan Liqi seed Company, Gansu Dunhuang seed Industry Co., Ltd., and Maize Research Office of Shangqiu Academy of Agricultural Sciences. "let's say that the 560 mu of wheat I planted this year are all breeding materials provided free of charge by the Liqi seed Company. After the wheat is harvested, it will be a good variety of wheat. The company will recycle it at a price of 0.3 yuan per kilogram higher than that of commercial wheat. By increasing income and saving expenditure, I can earn more than 100,000 yuan more." When planting corn after wheat harvest, Lao Liu will cooperate with the Dunhuang seed industry and the Maize Research Office of Shangqiu Academy of Agricultural Sciences to carry out trial planting of new corn varieties in order to observe the yield performance of new varieties. For this reason, seed companies will pay Lao Liu some fees for trial planting, or provide seeds and fertilizers free of charge, which can also reduce a lot of expenses.

"it is said that it is not cost-effective to grow grain, but I think the new type of professional farmers have something to do, make a profit, and run. I will continue to go on this road." When the reporter said goodbye to Liu Lingjun, he said firmly.
