Pineapple planting prospects: pineapple taste description is very sweet, growers are difficult to cultivate

Golden diamond pineapple is fine and sweet, but it is not easy to grow high-quality pineapple. In Longquan Village, Neipu Township, Pingtung County, Ah Yuan, despite the disapproval or even opposition of his family, still insists on growing pineapples for ten years, growing pride and confidence. In recent years, he and his wife have also promoted a free "treasure hunt" in the pineapple orchard, giving more people the opportunity to go to the fields to harvest pineapples and experience the growth of crops and the hardships of farmers.

However, in the face of the dilemma that the farmland was broken and difficult to obtain, or that the landlord had to sell the land only two years after he finally reclaimed the good land, A Yuan always felt nervous. He said, "I can only make a wish when I have nothing to do. I hope to meet someone renting land again. Please God let me have more land to grow pineapples." "

Farmer A Yuan cut "pineapple lollipop" and invited everyone to taste the delicious food.

It was less than five o'clock in the morning on May 24, and it was already light, but there was no sunrise in the east. In a field next to the Liangshan Tunnel in Ma's hometown in Pingtung County, two young farmers are harvesting pineapples. One of the farmers came over with a short haircut and a green coat emblazoned with "Pineapple Source". The first sentence of greeting: "would you like to eat pineapple?" I'll peel a pineapple lollipop for you. "

What is a pineapple lollipop? It turned out that the tip of the crown bud of the pineapple was cut off, and then the rough skin was cut clean. In less than a minute, the rough pineapple turned into a lollipop. Do not underestimate this action, because some visitors to the origin of the invitation to farmers, sometimes inevitably embarrassed, but heard this lovely name, everyone will smile and say yes.

The young farmer's name is Li Junyuan, also known as "A Yuan". He is not tall and straight, nor is he handsome, but he has a full smile and treats people kindly, and he has a heart to the end when he speaks. Instead of talking about how delicious his pineapple was, he sent it to the guest and asked the guest to rate it. "We have a heavy workload and have to explain to the guests all the time, so we are really tired. Sometimes you are so busy that you have to play Shaw, why not just cut it for the guests to eat? "while saying this, A Yuan cut another pineapple lollipop.

A Yuan, 35 years old, is from Longquan Village, Neipu Township, Pingtung County. He graduated from the Aquaculture Department of Pingtung University of Science and Technology. When he was a sophomore, he asked his classmates to work in the pineapple orchard to learn to fertilize and bag, and to earn some pocket money. Unexpectedly, because of this, he began to be interested in farming. A Yuan said, "I was discharged from the army on October 1, 1998. As soon as I got home, I immediately went to the fields to grow pineapples. It has been just 10 years since I planted it." "

There are many hard thorns on the tip of pineapple leaves, and the farmer is happy with it.

At nearly seven o'clock after harvest, a minivan was full. Ah Yuan hurriedly took the pineapple home. Not long after the car was stopped, his father, Li Kechang, parked into the warehouse in another minivan full of pineapples. Father and son each have a car, ready to start their own graded packaging work.

When it comes to her son's farming, his mother, Lin Alan, can't help saying, "I used to object to his farming. I told him that if I had known he was going to farm, I might as well have studied him in high school. Why did he go to Pingtung University?" "but the mother was always the mother, and her expression suddenly regained tenderness." in fact, I knew he worked very hard, didn't let me worry about it, and took good care of his wife and three children. "

Farming is hard, and growing pineapples is no exception. Finishing seedlings, planting, fertilization, medicine, bagging, weeding, everything can not be careless, and pineapple leaves are very hard and have many spikes, which are often stabbed. But A Yuan doesn't care. He says it's easy to grow pineapples. "just do what needs to be done!" "

It is also moral for professional "artificial fruit selector" to steal pineapple mice.

For the A Yuan family, growing pineapples is used to support the family. he and his father are both accustomed to agricultural law. The difference between them lies in the type and proportion of fertilizers. Father and son do their own things, care about each other but do not interfere with each other, and try to avoid too much discussion, so as not to be unhappy with different ideas.

However, father Li Kechang is very proud of his son. He said, "I follow the domestic export route, and he is a channel for export. I do mine and he does his. I am an amateur and he is a professional." "this last sentence is the key to the father.

Listening to his parents talking about himself, A Yuan is still concentrating on choosing pineapples. His expectation is "not to be the biggest pineapple farmer in Taiwan, but to become a model student for pineapple homestead." "he said," I am a manual fruit selector. I want to check the quality of pineapples. As long as they are pecked by birds or bitten by mice, I have to pick them out. "

Before his son finished, Li Kechang immediately said, "Yes, pick it clean, but if it is bitten by a mouse, we try not to harvest it, because the mouse is very affectionate and righteous. it will eat the pineapple and then eat another pineapple. It will not be as naughty as Pulsatilla, pecking everywhere. "

Every year from March to May is the best taste period for golden diamond pineapple in Pingtung. At this time, the flesh of golden diamond pineapple is meticulous and sweet. Now it has entered the end of the production season. Not long ago, A Yuan just finished a "treasure hunt" at the Pineapple Garden and opened it free of charge to students at the University of screen Science and Technology to harvest pineapples that were about to be abandoned. "I'm fishing for a long time! "A Yuan laughed as he spoke.
