Corn harvester farmers create big business opportunities

Original title: Yang Yunus: from ordinary Farmer to "King of Agricultural Machinery"

Yang Yunus is processing agricultural machinery parts.

From farming to repairing and transforming agricultural machinery, to inventing and producing agricultural machinery, he relied on his own diligence and research to become a local "king of agricultural machinery" and wrote a legendary story about the transformation of ordinary farmers into wealth. He is Yang Younus, a farmer in Yingtamu Town, Yining County, whose profit exceeds 500000 yuan this year.

Before approaching, I saw a row of agricultural machinery placed on the side of the road in front of the gate of Yang Younu's house, which were introduced by Yang Yunus as corn thresher, wheat straw grinder and so on.

When I entered the courtyard, the author was shocked by the sight: in the very simple shed, the parts of all kinds of agricultural machinery were stacked everywhere, which at first glance looked like a scrap iron recycling bin. It is hard to imagine that Yang Yunus's six national patents were born here.

Yang Younu was originally a farmer in Mulati village, Yingtamu township. Speaking of his love for agricultural machinery, he opened the chatterbox while bringing out various patent certificates. It turned out that he had been interested in agricultural machinery for nearly 30 years. From the age of 19, he began to learn the electric welding and maintenance of agricultural machinery. He worked as a farm mechanic when he was busy and repaired agricultural machinery when he was idle.

In the process of continuous research, the nimble Yang Yunus saw that the fattening industry of cattle and sheep in rural areas was developing rapidly, but the guillotine and crushing tools used by farmers and herdsmen were still relatively backward, so he came up with the idea of developing a grinder. "I remember that the first wheat straw grinder was made of diesel oil drums. although it was simple, it was much more efficient. Later, I took an old combine harvester, and the crusher assembled with its parts was very efficient. The neighbors saw it and lined up to come to me to crush wheat straw and straw. At that time, it was only 10 yuan per hour for processing. " Yang Yunus said. After seeing the benefits, he decided to produce a shredder. At that time, eight shredders were made using the parts of the old combine harvester.

The following year, Yang Yunus spent 1100 yuan on an old combine harvester and made 12 shredders with spare parts. At the beginning, a shredder sold for 800 yuan, and with the improvement of market recognition, the most expensive one he made sold for 3000 yuan.

Since then, Yang Yunus has successively trial-produced small feed grinders, suspended straw cutters, corn shellers, etc., and obtained six national utility model technology patents, and the products have been recognized by the majority of farmers.

As Yang Younus's business in agricultural machinery maintenance and transformation became bigger and bigger, he came up with the idea of opening his own agricultural machinery factory. In 2005, he registered the establishment of Yangyunusi Agricultural Machinery Factory, and then registered the trademark "Yunus".

Yili is the main corn producing area. In recent years, with the increasing market demand for corn harvesting and threshing machinery, Yang Yusi began to develop the corn threshing machine, which is very popular after mass production has been put into the market.

In the past, most of the corn harvester purchased by many agricultural machinery farmers harvested corn cobs. with the development of agricultural machinery technology, corn harvester appeared in corn harvester in the past two years, and the corn harvester in the hands of many agricultural machinery farmers faced "unemployment." Yang Yunus began to think about how to convert the corn harvester for corn cob into a machine for harvesting corn kernels. He modified and tested the machine again and again, and in June last year, he finally converted the corn cob harvesting machine into a machine that can harvest both corn cobs and kernels.

Retrofit a corn harvester, charge 30,000 yuan conversion fee, many county and city agricultural machinery farmers came to him to refit.

In 2011, the 5TY-70-24 corn threshing machine produced by Yang Younu's agricultural machinery factory was even exported to Egypt and Kazakhstan, generating a profit of more than 1 million yuan. At present, more than 2000 sets of this model have been sold, and the agricultural machinery he has transformed and produced has also been listed in the catalogue of products licensed for agricultural machinery promotion in the autonomous region.

Nowadays, with the increasing scale of production, Yang Yusi Agricultural Machinery Factory has also absorbed a lot of local surplus labor force, and the more than 100 apprentices he trained are also distributed in various agricultural machinery repair enterprises in Yining County and even the whole state. contributing to the development of the local economy.
