Ai Deyong: three-dimensional cultivation knocks on the door to get rich

After Ai Deyong, 41, from Zhugenpo Village, Ziwei Town, Yinjiang Autonomous County, made money selling vegetables in the city, he resolutely chose to go back to his hometown to start a business, and set up a three-dimensional farming model of "raising pigs + barbecue wine + vegetables" in the village, bringing himself a net income of 150000 yuan a year, knocking on the door to increase income and become rich.

On October 25, the author came to Ai Deyong's farm and saw that Ai Deyong, who had just returned from selling vegetables in a truck from the town, did not bother to rest and went straight to the pig house to feed the pigs.

Ai Deyong told me that before 2009, he was still developing vegetable cultivation in the city. Although he could make a lot of money, he could not take care of the children, so he always sought to go back to the village to start a business.

What should I develop? Through investigation, Ai Deyong found that pork was in short supply that year, and every household in the village used vegetables from their own fields as pig food. Ai Deyong came up with the idea of raising pigs. In May 2009, he went back to his hometown to raise pigs with more than 100,000 yuan earned from selling vegetables in the city.

Just do it. After a month, Ai Deyong built a 520 square pig house and fed 150 pigs, which cost hundreds of yuan a day for feed. Ai Deyong began to think about how to reduce feed costs. The following year, he set up a small winery next to the pig house with the 60,000 yuan he earned from selling pigs, and the distiller's grains could be used to feed the pigs. At the same time, he also transferred more than 30 mu of idle land in the village to grow vegetables, took the high-quality and fresh vegetables to the market town to sell, and used the rest as pig food.

"grilled wine lees can be used to feed pigs, and vegetables that cannot be sold can also be used to feed pigs, thus reducing the cost of feed and achieving mutual benefit and win-win results." Ai Deyong, who is fond of thinking, said so.

When Ai Deyong's breeding went smoothly, something unexpected happened. Classical swine fever fell on his head in 2012, resulting in a loss of nearly 200000 yuan.

"Classical swine fever in 2012, when more than 100 pigs died, the mood is very sad, but I believe that failure is the mother of success, persistence will win." That's what Ai Deyong said and did. He carried the dead pigs out and buried them in tears. Starting with the remaining five sows, he carefully raised them to 60 by the end of the year. This year, he has produced 150 fat pigs, with a net income of 60, 000 yuan, plus income from barbecue wine and vegetables, and a net profit of 150000 yuan.

A rich person is not rich, leading everyone to common prosperity is Ai Deyong's wish. He drew up his own breeding plan and adopted the model of "cooperatives + large farmers + farmers" to provide villagers with guarantees such as piglets, technical guidance, recycling and sales.

"I want to expand the scale of farming and set up a professional pig-raising cooperative to drive the surrounding people to get rich together." Talking about the next step, Ai Deyong is still pretending to be the villagers.
