Sihong County, Jiangsu Province: a piece of silk drives 2800 households to become rich

From September 20 to 24, the reporter visited dozens of villages and corners of 8 townships in Southwest Gang. At this time of year, farmers are harvesting corn, raising pigs, growing mulberry and raising silkworms. They are obviously more "cattle" than in previous years: agricultural and sideline products are not difficult to sell, and their income has greatly increased.

Behind the smiling faces of farmers is the support of leading enterprises. Leading domestic and foreign enterprises, such as Guangdong Wenshi, Nanjing Weigang, Jiangsu Fu'an, Canadian Eide Company, and Dutch Rexwan seed Industry, have successively settled in Southwest Gang, forming regional characteristic industrial belts such as watermelons, strawberries, dairy cows, sericulture, and so on.

"A big enterprise is a leader, changing technology, changing the market, changing ideas, and changing people's spirit." Cai Dunan, secretary of the party committee of Shangtang Town, summed up the effect of foreign capital as "four changes."

Keep it or sell it, and the banknote falls into your pocket.

On the 24th, in Fengshan Village, Fengshan Township, farmer Wang Lihong pointed to two pig houses behind him and said loudly. When it was almost lunchtime, hundreds of pigs were alive. As soon as they saw people coming in with food pots, they crowded to the fence, wagging their tails and humming.

Just raise, don't sell. Wang Lihong borrowed 50, 000 yuan, saved 50, 000 in three years, gave 40, 000 yuan to the province's poverty alleviation funds, and borrowed another 60, 000 yuan. He used the 200000 yuan to build two pig farms. In 2009, he joined hands with Suqian Wen's Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd., which has just settled in Fengshan Township, to raise pigs. The job of the couple is to sweep the circle and feed them. it has nothing to do with them whether the price of the pig goes up or down, because there is an agreement with the company that no matter how the market changes, each pig earns a steady profit, and a pig earns at least 100 yuan.

Wang Lihong said that planting a few mu of low-yield fields at that time cost only a few hundred yuan a year. It's different now. His family had 538 pigs in the last batch, making a net profit of 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.

The pig-raising story of this ordinary farmer has made the villagers who were used to working abroad taste the benefits of "bundling with large enterprises to make a lot of money," and have joined the cooperation model of "companies and farmers." this year, nearly 50 households have put forward their willingness to join. At present, in Southwest Gang alone, Wen has 92 stable cooperative farmers with a stock of nearly 20,000 pigs.

Selling straw is better than selling corn.

[camera 2] at 8: 00 a.m. on the 22nd, walking tractors lined up for more than a mile on Guandun Road in Shangtang Town. The corn stalks in each tractor were more than two meters high. The tractor drivers said happily, "go to the cattle farm and sell it for money!"

The cattle farm mentioned by the villagers is Weigang Modern Animal Husbandry (Sihong) Co., Ltd., which is located in Shangtang Town. Liu Yonghua, a group of tractor drivers in Guodun Village, weighed 1200 jin of straw in a truckload. He said that his own 9 mu of land, straw is still enough to send more than a dozen cars.

"A cow eats 60 kilograms of forage a day, and this year it will eat 3000 mu of corn straw." Ma Gaomin, director of the dairy farm, told reporters excitedly that just a few days ago, Holstein cows numbered 05727 finally gave birth to milk. Now 630 cows have been bred in the farm, and after entering the milk production period, each cow can produce 9 tons of milk each year.

In the past, growing corn depended on God's face. as soon as it rained during the pollination period, the grains on the sticks were sparse, and the corn sold for less than 500 yuan per mu. After the establishment of the Weigang cow project, local people were pleasantly surprised to find that selling straw is more expensive than selling corn. Looking at this market, Li Bi, a farmer broker in Weiying Town, opened a Huatai Herbage Company last year. When wheat and corn grew to medium well, they came to collect straw and transport it to Nanjing Weigang for feed, radiating the seven townships in Southwest Gang and the surrounding Xuyi and Anhui Si counties. The reporter saw at Wei Feng's roadside purchase point that two kneading machines were "suddenly" swallowing straw, smashing it on the spot, and fermenting on the spot. This acquisition point sends four cars a day and traffics 5000 tons a year, while one mu of land can sell straw for thousands of yuan.

[camera 3] walking on the country road in Wanggou Village, Cemen Township, there are mulberry fields on one side and a large bungalow along the road with the words "silkworm room" written on the other.

Han Qi, the village branch secretary, told reporters that the mulberry trees here were originally old varieties that had been planted for more than ten years, and there were no fresh mulberry leaves at this time, so people in Wanggou village used to raise spring silkworms only once a year. Three years ago, the county matchmaking, Chimen Township and Jiangsu Fu'an Cocoon Silk Company formed a "in-laws". After Fu'an technicians entered the car door from Dongtai, the first thing they did was to instruct silkworm farmers to update all their varieties to "711." With fresh mulberry leaves as a guarantee, silkworm farmers are now raising silkworms in late autumn, and their output has more than doubled.
