The Secret of getting Rich for the Big Grain growers

People's Daily, Taiyuan, December 29-Shang Jinsheng is a big grain grower in Pinghao Village, Chengdong Street, Yongji City. in recent years, he has contracted 330 mu of land in the village and nearby farms to grow food crops such as wheat and corn on a large scale, and his family income has been rising. On December 28, the author went to listen to the grain king of "ploughing gold in the soil" about his "secret of getting rich".

"expand the scale of planting, learn to grow grain scientifically, and improve the degree of mechanized farming." Shang Jinsheng, who is laying sprinkler irrigation pipes in wheat fields, summed up his "secret to getting rich" into three sentences.

"in the past, there were five people in the family who worked on 8 mu of land, ploughing, planting and harvesting. From spring to winter, they were so tired that they could not save much money all year round. Since 2005, I have contracted 330mu of land in the village and nearby farms to grow food crops on a large scale. in that year, my net income reached more than 30000 yuan. However, after careful accounting, although the total income is not small, the average output value per mu is still not high. "

"later, I learned that if I do not know how to grow grain scientifically and do not know how to make full use of modern scientific and technological means, I often contribute the most and gain the least. So, with the help of technicians in the agricultural sector, I learned scientific farming techniques such as returning straw to the field, soil testing and formula fertilization, and the per unit and total grain yield increased continuously, and the income naturally increased greatly. "

"Agricultural mechanization is the key to large-scale land management!" Shang Jinsheng revealed to the author his third secret of getting rich: "improving the degree of mechanization can greatly reduce labor intensity, reduce the cost of hiring labor, and correspondingly increase a large part of the income." At first, my family only had a small tractor, but later it seemed that it could not keep up with the actual needs. Last year, I bought another Dongfanghong large tractor, which bought all the agricultural machinery and tools such as ploughs, grills, rakes, grills and so on. Originally, it cost more than 140000 yuan, but as a result, it only cost more than 80, 000 yuan. The agricultural machinery subsidy policy suddenly saved us more than 60, 000 yuan. Next year, I plan to buy another combine harvester. It can not only save the cost of renting the harvester, but also carry out external leasing business, which brings me a lot of income. " Pointing to a large tractor parked in the distance, Shang Jinsheng's face blossomed with joy.

"this year, excluding various investments such as seeds and chemical fertilizers, my net income of 330mu of land is 140000 yuan. together with subsidies for grain direct subsidies, improved varieties of wheat and corn, and subsidies from the province to large grain growers, my family's total annual income has reached 200000 yuan!" Looking at his own contracted land, Shang Jinsheng's eyes were full of pride. "well, I've invested more than NT $30,000 to install sprinkler irrigation pipes, which can not only solve the problems of water and labor in the process of irrigating land, but also help a lot to increase grain production. Next year, my family's income will certainly be even higher!"
