Mao Tielong: "three steps" on the way to Wealth

"these three rape direct sowing machines and that dryer are all newly purchased." Dark skin, thin Mao Tielong happily pointed to these modern agricultural things to introduce to the author.

Mao Tielong is a native of Fuxi Village, Nanjiang Town, Pingjiang County, Hunan Province. influenced by the traditional concept of "farming does not make money", Mao Tielong threw a few mu of land to his parents for farming, while he did some sporadic small business in the town. Until 2010, when his father was too old to farm, he took over his father's hoe and devoted himself to agriculture.

In the office of the co-operative, there are various books on agriculture on the table. When I asked him why he still bought so many books in farming, he said with a smile. "Modern agriculture is inseparable from science and technology, and technology is power." Perhaps it is with his studious spirit and strong character that he finally embarked on a road to agricultural prosperity.

Read the Scriptures of Science and Technology

In 2010, Mao Tielong, who picked up a hoe, began to pay attention to agricultural knowledge and policies and became a regular visitor to the town's agricultural station. In 2011, Mao Tielong was selected as a science and technology demonstration household in Nanjiang Town, and participated in a number of science and technology demonstration household training. Through the guidance of scientific and technological instructors, he changed his original understanding of farming and farming methods, from the selection of rice varieties to centralized seedling raising to comprehensive prevention and control, and he constantly learned new technologies and concepts of modern agriculture to achieve scientific farming and scientific management. Mao Tielong has gradually grown from a novice to an expert in farming, and in 2012 he was rated as an excellent science and technology demonstration household in villages and towns. Mao Tielong, who was identified as a new type of professional farmer in Pingjiang County in 2013, participated in entrepreneurship training, learned more professional knowledge and entrepreneurial concept, and was identified as the first batch of new professional farmers in the county in the same year.

Play the modern card well.

In 2011, Mao Tielong, who contracted more than 300 mu of paddy fields, realized that the traditional farming methods could not adapt to the current scale, and that only agricultural mechanization was the direction of modern agricultural development. In that year, he decisively bought two rice transplanters and a small ploughing machine, which reduced labor costs, improved farming efficiency, and increased farming income. In 2013, while expanding the planting scale, Mao Tielong added two rice transplanters, a large rotary tiller, a harvester and a dryer, realizing the whole mechanized operation of machine ploughing, machine insertion, machine prevention, machine harvesting and machine baking, and embarked on the road of agricultural machinery modernization and became the leading local farming goose.

Embark on the intensive road

In 2013, Mao Tielong added more than 500mu of land, with a total area of more than 900mu, spanning four surrounding villages, with an annual income of more than 300000 yuan. Running on the road to getting rich, he adjusted his thinking again and embarked on the road of intensification: first, to set up a professional cooperative for rice cultivation. Mao Tielong, who has become a local leader, does not forget to drive the surrounding farmers to get rich at the same time. Four of his radiation households were selected as the backbone of the cooperative, and eight farmers around him were led to set up the "Pingjiang County Fengdeng Rice planting Professional Cooperative" in 2014, which now has a paddy field area of 1800 mu. The second is to rely on large-scale management of science and technology. Under his guidance, the cooperative cooperatives cooperated with Yueyang pastoral songs and adopted scientific field management. at present, the area of unified defense rule has reached more than 1500 mu.

When it comes to future planning, Mao Tielong has new ideas. He said that now the social awareness of high-quality food is increasing, the market demand is increasing, Mao Tielong is planning to set up a native pig farm, hoping that Mao Tielong will have a wider and wider road to prosperity.
