Star vegetable farmer Wang Songyu skillfully grows vegetables to be well-off

Ten years ago, it was difficult for a family to make a living by growing grain, and the poverty was astonishing. Ten years later, they were rich and rich by growing vegetables, and the story of getting rich was enviable. His name is Wang Songyu. He is 59 years old. He is the star of vegetable industry in Tumen Town, Yunxi County, Hubei Province. Over the past 10 years, he has used his diligence and wisdom to tell people that people over the age of 50 still have the opportunity to display their talents, and that staying in the vast countryside can also work miracles.

The old man, who is usually dark and covered with mud all day, has planted 12 sheds of vegetables this year, covering an area of nearly 5 mu. After entering April, his daily income from buying vegetables is more than 500 to 600 yuan. It is estimated that after the vegetables are sold in the four seasons this year, the income will exceed 100000 yuan.

More than 10 years ago, like many peasant families, the Wang Songyu family was still very poor. At that time, his family only grew grain and other crops, and his income was only a thousand yuan a year, and his life was very tight. Most of the local young and middle-aged workers support their families by going out to work. But Wang Songyu was almost 50 years old and could not do heavy work. One day in 1999, Wang Songyu, who was in distress, went to Nie Chengbo, the then party secretary of Tumen town, to express his desire to grow vegetables in the greenhouse but lack of funds. Nie Chengbo immediately expressed his support and lent him 6000 yuan to help him develop the vegetable industry. With the support of town and village cadres, Wang Songyu set up two greenhouses that year to try to grow vegetables in the greenhouse. However, due to lack of technology, poor management and protection, and the lack of responsibility of the technicians hired by the town from Shouguang, Shandong Province, his income from selling vegetables in the previous two years was not enough to cover the cost of building a greenhouse.

In those years, Wang Songyu was not the only one who lost money on growing vegetables, and some local farmers gave up growing vegetables one after another. "there is always a knack for growing vegetables. If you want to grow vegetables, you have to grow them." After two years of losses, Wang Songyu was duty-bound to plant vegetables for the third year. Since then, he began to explore the skills of growing vegetables, summed up and accumulated experience in growing vegetables, and modestly consulted agricultural technicians and experienced farmers.

Through persevering study and painstaking study, Wang Songyu has mastered the skills of growing and protecting vegetables scientifically. For example, every time it rains and snows, he knows that the vegetables in the shed will get sick without the sun, wondering whether to apply medicine or topdressing when the weather gets better. When is it most reasonable to turn on the vents in the greenhouse? Even for vegetable cases that are unknown to agricultural technicians in some towns, he can explore the causes and take scientific remedial measures. He also actively tried to arrange the stubble reasonably in the shed to maximize the benefit of the greenhouse, always planting seedlings at the most appropriate time and selling them at the best time to go on the market.

Under the hard search and hard work, Wang Songyu's vegetables are growing better and better. Today, although Wang Songyu has not founded his own brand, his dish itself is a persuasive business card, and he has already stuck it firmly in people's hearts. For many years, Wang Songyu's fresh vegetables steadily supplied the vegetable market in Tumenji township, and the owners of several restaurants and restaurants went to his shed to pick vegetables in person, and vegetable vendors in Xiangkou Township of Yunxi County often came to buy them. In this way, in the off-season, he can sell out his vegetables without going out; in the peak season, at about 4:30 every morning, when the tricycle he hired appears in Yunxi County full of fresh vegetables, usually before the car stops, the waiting vegetable vendors swarmed in and snapped up all his vegetables. Over the years, Wang Songyu continued to write the story of "fresh vegetables in Tumen, loved by everyone" with his own practical actions.

Since 2001, Wang Songyu's income from selling vegetables has increased year by year, and the scale of growing vegetables has also been expanding. Over the past 10 years, his cumulative income from selling vegetables has exceeded 300000 yuan, making him the leading local vegetable producer and marketer. In 2007, he used his savings from selling vegetables to build a new building with his neighbors. The house he lived in cost more than 100,000 yuan to build and install, and some high-end furniture and electrical appliances also bought a new house.

After Wang Songyu's vegetable industry boomed, he gradually became a famous star of getting rich. In recent years, the media in Shiyan City and Yunxi County have repeatedly reported his deeds of developing characteristic industries to become rich, and local people have come to learn from the experience or asked him to pass on his skills. At the end of September 2008, as the representative of the vegetable industry in Yunxi County, he was commended by the county people's government and was awarded the title of "leader of agricultural characteristic industry to get rich". In the past two years, some local city and county leaders have come to inspect or investigate his vegetable field from time to time, and people in surrounding counties and townships often go to Wang Songyu and his greenhouse vegetable industry base in Tumen Village to observe and study.
