Wang Guangyuan, an expert in growing melons and vegetables

Lou Fangzi Village, Quzi Town, which is located at the junction of Quzi, Hedao and Tianchi, is a famous facility melon and vegetable production base in Huanxian County. A total of 64 cement sheds, 10 solar greenhouses, 80 steel sheds and 391mu arch sheds have been built in the village. melons and vegetables are planted in the village every year, with an output value of more than 1.7 million yuan and an average mu income of more than 6000 yuan. When it comes to this, everyone will mention a person who is the first to take the lead in building a greenhouse of melons and vegetables in the village, and selflessly helps the villagers to get rich by growing melons and vegetables in the greenhouse-- Wang Guangyuan.

Wang Guangyuan, 32, with only a junior high school education, is a farmer in Loufangzi village. Wang Guangyuan has been farming at home all the time. However, the sunrise and sunset life in the countryside makes him often feel depressed and helpless, especially for a year of hard work, with little left except for the basic living expenses. Whenever his family gets sick and the economy cannot afford it, he has to borrow everywhere and end up heavily in debt. The financial constraints of the family and the hardships of life prompted him to seriously think: why is he begging with a "golden rice bowl"? Loufangzi Village is located in the upper reaches of Hedaochuan, with unique irrigation conditions, why not turn this resource advantage into wealth?

The opportunity finally came. In 2000, the town party committee and the village party branch called on the masses to adjust the agricultural structure and publicized the advanced examples of Mengjiazhai, Gaozhaigou and some people in the city who built greenhouses to grow vegetables and get rid of poverty. But at that time, most farmers just listened, but very few of them took practical action. On the other hand, Wang Guangyuan kept it in mind and went out several times to make on-the-spot visits and understanding. when he was convinced that growing melons and vegetables in the greenhouse was an effective way to get rich, he made up his mind to study the techniques of growing melons and vegetables painstakingly, and decided to make use of sufficient water resources. build a shed to grow melons and vegetables, and you must find a new way to get rich.

Since 2000, Wang Guangyuan was the first to build a bamboo arch shed in his contracted land and began to grope for growing melons and vegetables in the greenhouse. In the first year, he tried to grow melons in the greenhouse. Because it was direct seeding, the emergence of seedlings was slow, the management could not keep up, the market was late, and the price was low. Coupled with the rainy season of melons, the efforts of the year basically did not make money, the villagers were mocking and cynical, and his family nagged.

In the second year, Wang Guangyuan continued to try planting, and promptly consulted the county agricultural technicians, selected and purchased the varieties suitable for planting in the greenhouse in advance, and used his own soil Kang as a seedling bed to raise seedlings as early as possible, and spread plastic film in the greenhouse to carry out double-film cultivation and strengthen management. Wang Guangyuan's hard work has finally been rewarded. The melon planted in that year has achieved better benefits because of its early listing and good price. The comparison of two years' income made him deeply aware of the role of science and technology in agricultural production and increasing farmers' income. for this reason, he bought a large number of scientific and technological books and technical materials and began to delve into the cultivation technology of melons and vegetables in facilities all night. He also took the book to the field and combined it with practical learning. Through study, he gradually mastered a set of production mode suitable for local melon and vegetable growth. Not only that, he also made friends with the technicians of the county and township agricultural technical stations and consulted the scientific and technological personnel in all aspects of production.

He got closer to the old farmer who had rich experience in growing melons and vegetables, and studied modestly in the fields and production seasons. over the past few years, he has learned the theoretical knowledge of planting techniques of melons and vegetables, mastered the techniques of planting vegetable melons, and found out a set of practical experience of seedling raising, transplanting, grafting and management suitable for local production and management of melons and vegetables.

In October 2004, the village was identified by the province and city as the poverty alleviation whole village promotion project village, and by the Organization Department of the Provincial CPC Committee as a helping village, and put forward the development model of "melons and vegetables in Sichuan, forest and fruit in the plateau, grass and livestock in the mountain area, and cauliflower in the whole village". The technology of planting vegetables in cement shed was introduced from Shaanxi, and 64 cement sheds, 10 solar greenhouses and 80 steel greenhouses were built. He grasped this second rare opportunity. He took the lead in building 3 cement skeleton sheds (with a total area of 3 mu) and 10 new bamboo sheds (with a total area of 2 mu). Relying on his excellent planting technology, he carefully planted melons and vegetables, and his income from planting melons and vegetables in the greenhouse over the past three years reached more than 90,000 yuan. he not only paid off his previous debts, but also became a famous expert in growing melons and vegetables in the village and a typical example of getting rich by growing melons and vegetables.

After Wang Guangyuan got rich by growing melons and vegetables in the greenhouse, he was not satisfied. He realized that although he made money by planting melons and vegetables early, he had to grow and sell them. It was too hard and was greatly influenced by the market. The small production mode of a single family can no longer meet the needs of the development of modern agriculture. More people must be mobilized to engage in melon and vegetable planting, and some large growers must be United. Only in this way can we form an industrial base and attract distant customers to come and buy products.
