"Chao Nong" Wu Dexian

Wu Dexian showed his high-quality rice to the guests.

There is a farmer in Dahuashulin Village, Yanjiang Township, Sunwu County, Heilongjiang Province, who set up a birch forest modern agricultural machinery cooperative with a total asset of 96 million yuan in less than ten years, driving 402 farmers to increase their income and become rich. "I am a farmer, and all I want to do is to make people's pockets bulge." He is Wu Dexian, chairman of Hualin Modern Agricultural Machinery Cooperative.

In 2006, seeing the relevant policies of the government to support the development of agricultural machinery modernization, 40-year-old Wu Dexian came up with the idea of starting a business through modern agricultural machinery cooperation.

"if you want to build, build the best co-operatives!" Wu Dexian asked Sun Shian and Liu Xumin from the same village to mobilize 15 households in the village to support the door of the cooperative and bought 18 sets of agricultural machinery and equipment. The cooperative reduced the price of locomotive operation, and the price per hectare was 20 yuan cheaper than that of others. Through the replacement of farming by contracted production, the members of the cooperative gradually grew to 132households and 18000 mu of land.

"in so many places, we should pay attention to what we grow." With large-scale and standardized operations in cooperatives, planting standards have been raised, and soybean output has increased by 22% in just three years, but restricted by climate, continuous cropping and other factors, there is little room for soybean planting to increase income. As more and more farmers buy shares in cooperatives with land, in 2011 Wu Dexian began to lead members to experiment with planting corn and alpine rice, unifying seed selection, fertilization, management and application of new technologies, and the output and price increased year after year. In 2014, the net income per mu reached 800 yuan and 600 yuan respectively.

"the key is how to become bigger and stronger." In 2013, the cooperative invested 1.9 million yuan to build a fully automatic rice production line to handle 60 tons of rice a day, registered the "Haobei" brand rice trademark, and set up a direct sales store for birch forest products. "if you sell rice, it costs about 1.50 yuan per catty. If you grind it into rice, you can sell it for 3 yuan per catty, and 60% of japonica rice can be produced from a catty of rice. You can calculate that it will cost a lot more. To maximize the benefit of land, it is necessary to refine the industrial chain, the next step is to add information, the use of information platform to sell our good products. " Wu Dexian said.

"without land, co-operatives cannot survive, and farming co-operatives alone cannot get rich. Wu Dexian's thinking is always very advanced. He leads the cooperative to follow the national policy and the market. " He Yubin, deputy magistrate of Sun Wu County, said.

There is a lot of rain and snow in Heilongjiang, and it is difficult to store corn. Wu Dexian and everyone have invested in the construction of three drying towers, which can increase the value of corn drying in the surrounding area by 15 million yuan every year. 5 warehouses and 7 round silos have been built to store 60, 000 tons of grain for the country, realizing that "warehousing is built on the field". A professional cooperative for animal husbandry production in Tiancheng has been established to attract more than 100 villagers to develop aquaculture and to connect planting with breeding for circular development. at present, a 3000 square meter storage for fresh fruits and vegetables and quick freezing of animal products is being planned. we will develop slaughtering and segmentation of animal products, finishing processing of meat products, processing of dehydrated vegetables and grain wine industry.

"you can't just make a fuss in the soil. In order to develop modern agriculture, we must also develop the industry! " Standing on the snow-covered black land, Wu Dexian looked out into the distance, still thinking.
