Zhang Qinghe, a pig farmer in Leling, never forgets his neighbors when he gets rich.

When it comes to Zhang Qinghe in Lumenlou Village, Kongzhen Town, Leling City, there is nothing but praise from the villagers nearby. From the initial exploration of raising 12 little white pigs to a pig farm with more than 50 pigs left, Zhang Qinghe, 48, can be said to be a "talent" in raising pigs in the eyes of the villagers.

Discovering the business opportunity of raising pigs with a unique vision

In 2003, Zhang Qinghe, who stayed at home, was always trying to figure out what to do. Later, after many inspections, Zhang Qinghe found that there seemed to be a wide space for the development of pig farming.

Zhang Qinghe quickly bought 12 little white pigs from the market, but for Zhang Qinghe, who has no experience of raising pigs, 12 is not a small number. From feeding piglets to cleaning the enclosure, Zhang Qinghe "waited" carefully. Due to lack of experience, Zhang Qinghe bought a large number of books on pig raising, went to other places to inspect and learn experience irregularly, and kept telephone communication with "experts" all the time. In this way, Zhang Qinghe didn't have much confidence, but slowly, Zhang Qinghe, who was raised for the first time, tasted the benefits.

In the early days of starting a business, I knew it was bitter.

Although it is not difficult for farmers to raise pigs, it is not easy to make a name for themselves.

At the beginning of the pig farm, Zhang Qinghe stayed in the pigsty almost every day because he was worried about the pigs in the farm. later, he simply moved his luggage to the pig farm, eating and living all the pigs in the pen. It is common for Zhang Qinghe not to go home for a month or two. He told reporters that he spent nearly 300 days in a pig farm 365 days a year.

In 2010, due to the rise in the prices of vitamins, amino acids, soybean meal, fish meal, corn and other raw materials, the price of pig feed rose, but the market price of pigs did not rise but fell. "it was really not a taste in my heart during that period of time, and I worked hard." in that year, the pig farm in Zhang Qinghe lost more than 10,000 yuan.

Supplement knowledge and develop scientific breeding

Never technical, no scale to now more than 50 breeding pigs, more than 40 pigs a year, with an output value of nearly 80,000 yuan, Zhang Qinghe devoted all his painstaking efforts to the pig farm.

Speaking of delivering a sow for the first time, Zhang Qinghe's face did not show any joy. Because of the lack of experience in delivering babies, he had to call others to ask questions while he was ignorant in delivering babies. But after the busy work, the newly born piglet died one litter after another. "if we had known the knowledge of delivery, wouldn't this have been avoided?" Zhang Qinghe, who only had a junior high school education, was aware of the loss caused by the lack of knowledge, so he began to read a lot of books and consult materials. Unexpectedly, the piglets who were finally saved with what they had learned began to die one after another after a few days of weaning. In order to find out the reason, Zhang Qinghe crouched in the pigsty all night. By comparing the observed situation with the book knowledge, Zhang Qinghe finally found out the cause and came up with countermeasures.

Repay the neighbors as agrotechnical stars.

"I can't just get rich by myself. I also want to make the villagers rich," Zhang Qinghe said and did the same. "now as soon as I hear that there is something wrong with other people's pigs, I will go there immediately, because I can always think of the difficulties I encountered when I first raised pigs and the help of others. I will try my best to help others." Zhang Qinghe said.

At dawn on October 20, Zhang Qinghe's farm was full of farmers who came to study. "Autumn pigs are the easiest to get fat and must be disinfected regularly inside and outside the pig house and on the pig's body surface." It is also necessary to clean up the sewers, cisterns, and food troughs in time, leaving no dead corners. " Zhang Qinghe explained clearly and systematically, and the villagers stood by the pigsty one by one with paper and pens in hand, carefully recording the techniques of raising pigs in autumn.

Now Zhang Qinghe has become a fan of farmers in Shili and eight villages, scrambling to ask for his "getting Rich Sutra," and he spares no effort to answer questions and doubts for the people. In October 2015, Zhang Qinghe was named "Agricultural Technology Star" by Kongzhen Town, and was officially included in the rural talent bank of Kongzhen Town. He not only received regular expert training, but also received a bonus of 2000 yuan from the town government.

In recent years, in order to give full play to the leading role of people who have become rich and capable in rural areas, the party committee and government of Kongzhen Town has devoted itself to selecting talents in many aspects, such as production type, management type, technical service type, social service type and skill-driven type, not only hiring experts for them to train regularly, but also ensuring that they can train grass-roots farmers and lead villagers to become rich together. At present, the "agrotechnical stars" in Kongzhen Town have trained more than 500 grass-roots farmers, solved more than 120 problems, and helped villagers get rich in more than 30 projects.
