Yilong migrant workers return to their hometown to start a business, engage in ecological agriculture and lead the villagers to become rich.

By using the method of substitute breeding, Chen Huadong signed a contract with farmers for the replacement of chickens and sheep, and recycled the chickens and sheep after maturity.

The ravines are vertical and horizontal, the traffic is blocked, and the information is backward. This is people's impression of Yan Ziyan Village, Lishan Town, Yilong County in the past. Recently, a reporter from Sichuan News Network walked into Yanziyan Village and found that the air was filled with the smell of wine, and the sound of chickens and sheep could be heard everywhere. The local people said that it was the local villager Chen Huadong who led the villagers to become rich together, which led to the prosperity of the village at present.

Migrant workers accumulate funds

Start ecological agriculture after returning to my hometown

When he came to Yanziyan Village, Chen Huadong gave Sichuan News Network reporter's first impression that he was of medium height, wore a pair of glasses, looked gentle, but looked very capable.

After a few pleasantries, Chen Huadong told the story of the past. Chen Huadong said that he is a 43-year-old native of Swallow Rock Village. In 1995, he worked in Beijing, mainly engaged in electrical maintenance, and then turned to chemical equipment installation. In a short period of more than a decade, Chen Huadong accumulated a certain amount of capital and came up with the idea of going home and starting a business.

Chen Huadong told Sichuan News Network that after returning home for the Spring Festival in 2013, he was deeply touched to see that the road at home was open, the land was barren, and the lives of ordinary people had not changed much.

"if we choose agriculture, it should be the direction of sustainable development." In this way, Chen Huadong's idea of starting a business was supported by his family and village cadres. In April 2013, Chen Huadong leased more than 500 mu of land and invested more than 1200 million yuan to recommend raising fish and feeding sheep in Sanxi Village and Yanziyan Village of Lishan Town, building a greenhouse to feed locusts and earthworms and raising chickens, taking the road of ecological agriculture and providing green agricultural products for the market.

No experience in planting and breeding

After failure, send special personnel to learn breeding techniques.

At the beginning of his business, due to years of migrant work, Chen Huadong never raised chickens or sheep and developed green agricultural products, which was indeed a challenge. In 2013, with the exception of the fish industry, all the projects developed by Chen Huadong ended in failure. Chen Huadong said that at the beginning, there were major technical and management problems.

In early 2014, Chen Huadong mobilized people in and around the village to plant sorghum and corn in the form of orders. In the second half of the year, he set up a winery and used distiller's grains as raw material to feed sheep and chickens, recycled all the sorghum stalks and corn stalks in the hands of ordinary people, silaged them to feed sheep in winter, and continued to feed locusts and earthworms as raw materials for pheasants.

Chen Huadong, who has tasted the taste of failure, not only assiduously studied the technology, but also sent people to other places to learn ecological breeding techniques and ecological disease prevention and treatment experience.

Breeder Zhou Anzhong said that through patient guidance, Chen Huadong sent him to other places to specialize in ecological breeding techniques, and summed up the experience of ecological disease prevention and treatment in practice.

Sign a contract with farmers

Drive the surrounding people to increase their income and become rich

After more than two years of exploration, Chen Huadong basically explored the road of ecological agriculture suitable for local development. The enterprise built by Chen Huadong aims to provide green food for the market and drive the surrounding people to increase their income and become rich.

To this end, the company actively promotes the zero-risk project for farmers, adopting the method of substitute breeding, signing with farmers to raise chickens and sheep on behalf of farmers, so that farmers can raise sheep and chickens.

At present, more than 30 households in Yanziyan Village are in financial difficulties. According to their actual situation, Chen Huadong provided free sheep and chicken breeding, breeding, epidemic prevention and other technologies, and then recovered.

Chen Huadong told the Sichuan News Network that at present, his enterprise produces more than 1000 jin of pure grain and wine every day, raises more than 360 big-ear sheep and Hu sheep, and can breed more than 230 lambs by the end of the year; using woodland to raise running pheasants on a large scale, about 5000 pheasants in each batch, together with those raised by other villagers, sell about 20, 000 in the whole year.

"when there is a way to get rich, there is hope." Villager Chen Hu said that with the help of Chen Huadong, 50 mu of woodland was leased to raise running pheasants, and 300 chickens that had been raised for two months were provided free of charge in each batch, and two batches of chickens were fed for the whole year, with an annual income of about 60,000 yuan.
