Juford for the disabled: brewing wine + raising pigs to get rich

Recently, a reporter from SciDev.Net walked into Liuying Town, Santai County, Sichuan Province and interviewed Zhu Ford, a disabled entrepreneur.

Juford, 52, is a second-class handicapped, not tall, plainly dressed, dark-faced, simple and honest smile. Physically disabled and determined, with the spirit of daring to think and dare to do, with the strong belief in life, and with the support of the government, he has created a "road of happiness" by making wine and raising pigs.

Looking back at Juford's entrepreneurial path, I became more and more interested and asked him, "what is your successful experience?" His answer is: "if you can bear hardships, but also dare to work, and come up with good ideas in your head, you will be able to make a career!" Juford said: this way, he went the right way! He gains not only money, but also the value of a disabled person himself.

Juford, with a straightforward personality, was quite talkative. I made friends with him, and his eyes flashed with wisdom. He said that more than 40 years ago, when he was playing with firecrackers, it accidentally exploded, causing a disability in his right hand. He dropped out of school and stayed at home before graduating from primary school. In adulthood, it is seen that adults drink every time they eat and put, not to mention if there is something going on in anyone's house. In order to make a living, he borrowed money from relatives and friends and went to Mianzhu, Shifang, Suining, Luzhou and other places to study wine-making techniques. Later, he began to work in a brewing workshop, through ups and downs, for more than a decade. I gave up when I saw that the profit was not so good.

In 2013, Santai County, combined with the disabled Persons' Federation of Mianyang City, launched the "popular Project" to help disabled people find jobs and start businesses, and vigorously develop support policies for aquaculture. Since then, with the support of venture capital from the County disabled Persons' Federation, Juford has invested 50,000 yuan to create a breeding base for more than 50 cattle, with an annual profit of more than 30,000 yuan.

Making wine and raising pigs will make a steady profit and will not lose.

"opportunities always favor people who are prepared." once I accidentally saw a message on TV: making wine to raise pigs, making sure you can't lose, and the "cost-free pig-raising method" of using distiller's grains to prepare efficient feed. Each pig can earn hundreds of yuan more than traditional pig farming. Considering that the cattle raising cycle is too long and the profits are low, Juford is very excited to see this news. Isn't this a start-up project tailor-made for you?

Brewing + raising pigs, which not only reduces the cost of raising pigs, but also matures its own wine-making technology. Action is better than action.

In 2014, with the support of venture capital from the disabled Persons' Federation of Santai County, more than 150000 yuan was invested to transform the cattle barn into a farm capable of holding more than 200 pigs. With excitement, Juford took advantage of his spare room, picked up the old job with traditional craftsmanship, and began to make traditional wine again. In this way, multiple resources can be used to prepare distiller's grains into high-nutritious full-price feed to feed pigs, which greatly reduces the breeding cost. It can produce more than 400 fat pigs every year. As he adopts the traditional craft to make wine, the workshop produces nearly 100 jin of wine every day. "make good wine with your conscience." The brewed wine is not only pure in texture and bright in color, but also tastes fragrant, with a full range of more than 40 degrees, 50 degrees, 60 degrees and 70 degrees. Juford did not invite professional sales like other large factories, let alone go to the market to do publicity, through customers to buy and communicate with each other, has been unanimously affirmed by consumers, the price is moderate, now, supply exceeds demand, customers must book in advance.

At present, the annual net profit reaches more than 40,000 yuan.

A single flower does not make a spring

Juford regards making wine and raising pigs as a career, and his pockets are bulging. He can also be regarded as a medium-sized boss in the area, and he has a good life. Many people do not understand him, a disabled person, why do so many things?! However, Juford believes that he has no regrets about the road he has traveled. A disabled person who wants to realize his own value is the greatest happiness. In order to lighten the burden on the country, at present, in addition to themselves, we have also hired two workers, one of whom is a little mentally disabled, which has not only solved their own employment, but also led other disabled people to develop and become rich.

At present, in addition to their own, the brewery has also hired two workers, one of whom is a little mentally disabled, which not only solves their own employment but also promotes the development of other disabled people.

"I am a disabled person. I didn't expect that brewing wine and raising pigs made me as happy as I am today, and my life is no worse than that of others. Thanks to the government, I have been helped to tide over the difficulties again and again. " Jumford, with a proud face, said gratefully.
