Chen Long, a big grain grower——
Relying on technology to farm, it is easy to manage hundreds of acres of land
Start studying at 5:00 in the morning, arrange for people to work in the fields at 6:30, take time to answer farmers’ questions at any time during the day, and take online classes and review exams at night... This is a day for Chen Long, a big grain grower in Guichang Township, Tancheng County, Linyi City, Shandong Province. In his 40s, he often sighed with emotion: "24 hours a day is not enough!"
Circulating and operating 230 mu of land, hosting 2,000 mu of land, raising seedlings, transplanting rice seedlings, spraying medicine, and flying defense, Chen Long is busy in the field all year round.
But he thinks farming is an easy task these days.
"In the past, whether it was hoeing, exterminating insects, or watering the fields, all of them had to be done in person. Now these working machines can do the work. Farming relies on technology, and it is easy to manage hundreds of acres of land. I can free up more energy to focus on In terms of mastering new technologies, new management methods and technology promotion, more villagers will be driven to keep up with the pace of agricultural modernization."
Focus on learning new technologies, but also from Chen Long's participation in the training of new professional farmers in 2014.
"The training really opened my eyes. It turns out that so many machines can be used for farming." Chen Long counted them one by one, "Let's talk about spraying medicine. It turned out that it cost a lot of money to hire people, and it was easier to have more people in the fields. Stamping on crops. Using drones to spray medicine saves water and medicine than manual work. One machine can work more than 200 acres a day, which is equivalent to the amount of work done by eight or nine people. The efficiency is high and the cost is reduced. "
Chen Long, who had the courage to try, "graduated" and went home to register on the Agricultural University Family Farm, becoming the first farmer in the county to use a drone to spray medicine.
"After participating in the training, I understood a truth that farming must keep pace with the times." Chen Long actively embraced smart agriculture.
Since 2015, he has opened up a test field on his own farm, introduced a visual field monitoring system, and used intelligent irrigation equipment.
"With the Internet of Things in the field, it is very convenient to control watering remotely with just a click of a mobile phone," Chen Long said.
In technology farming, Chen Long never stopped learning.
In recent years, as long as he can sign up for the training of the name, he is almost always on the go, learning technology and business management, and asking better professional farmers for advice.
At the end of last year, Chen Long was admitted to the adult education plant protection major of Qingdao Agricultural University to study by correspondence. He showed reporters his online course page. In addition to "General Entomology" and "Soil and Fertilizer Science", which are useful for farming, he also took "General Entomology" and "Soil and Fertilizer Science" as an elective. College English", "Outline of Modern Chinese History" and other courses.
After finishing work every night, Chen Long learns to charge the computer. "After so many years of farming, I am more and more convinced that farmers can't do without knowledge."
Today, Chen Long has become a member of the Linyi Farmers Training Lecturer Group.
In his WeChat Moments, most of them are grain farmers in eight townships in ten miles and eight villages, and the posts are all about the experience of growing grains: "High temperature and high humidity, you need to sprinkle less nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise the seedlings will be burned" "You must hurry up after mechanical transplanting. Weeding, can not miss the best time for weeding".
When the villagers encountered problems in the fields, they consulted Chen Long on WeChat, "when can the film be removed", "when should the field be sprayed with medicine"... As long as he is free, he will reply in time.
"At present, the contribution rate of my country's agricultural science and technology progress has reached 61%, and the overall level of agricultural science and technology applications by large grain growers has been continuously improved." said Zhang Qi, a professor at the China Rural Revitalization and Development Research Center of Beijing Normal University, "A large number of large grain growers have taken advantage of modern technology. Taking advantage of its advantages, it will build a smart agriculture demonstration base, realize precise production and whole-process management, and play an important role in improving the level of agricultural modernization and protecting the granary of a big country.”
E-commerce expert Luan Bo——
Grasp the quality of sales with both hands, let good products fly out of the mountains
"Our glutinous rice noodles can be used for hot pot, soup, and barbecue. Let's see how flexible this wide noodles is. Come and place an order..." Seeing the increase in the order volume, Luan Bo laughed together. It's hard to keep your mouth shut, the hard work for so long has not been in vain.
Luan Bo is the head of Luan's Food Co., Ltd. in Wulong District, Chongqing.
Originally driving a truck, he returned to his hometown to start a processing business of rice flour.
In many villages and towns in Wulong, every slack farming season, every household is busy making rice noodles, but most of them are made by hand.
"Making flour by hand is inefficient." Luan Bo, who dared to "eat crabs", has been thinking about using machines to improve efficiency.
Just when he was worried about the lack of funds and technology, a good policy came.
In 2016, Wulong encouraged family farms to develop agricultural product processing. With a subsidy of 100,000 yuan, Luan Bo bought a dry boiler and a dryer, and started a new attempt to mechanize the production of rice flour.
The efficiency is high, and the benefits are obvious.
Luan Bo, who wanted to expand reproduction, applied for an agricultural loan from the local Agricultural Bank of China and completed the entire production line at once.
Not only has fully automatic production been realized, but the quality of acanthus powder has also been improved.
Produced and sold well.
Luan Bo was running around looking for orders. After selling the noodles in supermarkets in big cities, he began to wonder if he could catch the express train of e-commerce sales.
At the end of last year, with the help of professionals, his online store was launched, but the sales were not very good.
"I don't know the way of online stores, but there are various activities organized by the Municipal Bureau of Commerce, which have given me a lot of information." In April this year, Luanbo's store ushered in an explosive growth in sales, and now the monthly sales have broken through million, still growing at a rate of 10% per month.
Behind the hot sales, thanks to the "pulse" of the market.
Luan Bo experienced: "Nowadays, there are so many products on the Internet. Facing the vast number of consumers, if you want to improve your competitiveness, you can no longer be like the original, where the glutinous rice flour is off the production line, simply packaged and shipped to the catering company." Urgently contact the packaging company, design Teacher, expand the production line, and develop products suitable for retail. A small package of sweet potato wide noodles has been developed in various ways. Luan Bo said, "We first make hot pot noodles, then make barbecue noodles, and prepare barbecue dipping sauces. , and dry mixed powder, you can eat it after a little heat, completely aiming at the lifestyle and taste of young people today, and the sales have opened up."
Luan Bo, who tasted the sweetness of e-commerce, did not forget the surrounding villagers.
Now in his online store, he not only sells his own glutinous rice flour, but also buys corn, potatoes and eggs from the villagers, and sells them after unified packaging. "The packaging of fresh products needs to be very careful. We also need to add ice packs, wrap the noodles in fresh-keeping bags to avoid insects, shock-proof bags, transfer boxes, etc. Today, we serve hundreds of farmers of all sizes.”
Recently, Luan Bo has just received an invitation from the Chongqing Rural Development Bureau to participate in the 2022 Luan-Chongqing Consumer Collaboration Rural E-commerce Leader Training Course.
He cherished this opportunity very much, "You have to study hard and add a 'fire' to your online store sales."
"There is a gap in the level of intensive processing of agricultural products in my country compared with developed countries. The main reason is the shortage of core technologies and senior talents." Zhang Qi said, "In the future, we should encourage the intensive processing of agricultural products, attach importance to the development of agricultural brands, and cultivate a group of agricultural products driven by innovation. Rural business-oriented talents who understand brands, have credibility, and have modern business concepts."
Industry leader Huang Yongfeng——
Relying on the first-line cultivation of the industry, "soil experts" have grown up in the fields
In the past two days, in Fulong Village, Dalong Town, Cenxi City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the construction of a nut processing factory is intensifying.
"It can be built in a few days, and more nuts can be purchased from growers at that time," said Huang Yongfeng, head of Cenxi Lvma Agricultural Development Co., Ltd.
Huang Yongfeng, a native of Fulong Village, is also a big local nut grower.
"It's not easy to grow nuts, most varieties have low fruit yield, and it's hard to guarantee the income. I just want to try how to cultivate good varieties." In 2008, Huang Yongfeng planted more than 1,000 "Guire No. 1" plants with enthusiasm. ” and other new varieties of nuts.
Do a row, drill a row.
After Huang Yongfeng started planting nuts, whenever there was something he didn't understand, he called to ask experts from various scientific research institutions for advice.
Three years later, the fruit trees began to produce fruit, but less than 200 survived, which saddened Huang Yongfeng.
"Thanks to the technical guidance provided by experts, how to plant and manage, how to preserve fruit, and how to raise seedlings, the orchard is gradually on the right track." He admitted frankly.
After planting nuts for a long time, gradually understanding the characteristics of fruit trees, and mastering the improvement and grafting techniques, Huang Yongfeng's orchard benefits gradually improved.
But in 2013, he encountered the customer's withdrawal of seedlings again, black spots grew on the fruit, and bad fruit appeared.
Even experts have never encountered such a situation.
In order to find out the "cause", Huang Yongfeng squatted by the tree for several months to observe whether there were pests.
The hard work paid off, finally found the cause, carried out targeted prevention and treatment, and solved the problem of bad fruit.
It is with this rigorous and pragmatic spirit that Huang Yongfeng and his team accumulated the technology and experience of nut planting little by little.
Today, Huang Yongfeng's nut orchard produces 400,000 catties of fruit each year, with an output value of 2.7 million yuan. It has developed 4 seedling bases in Guangxi, Guangdong and other places, with an annual output of 2 million nut seedlings, and has successively obtained 9 national invention patents. in the sac.
In 2019, Huang Yongfeng was hired by the State Forestry and Grass Bureau as a local expert. Now he often goes to Fulong Village and surrounding nut farms to provide on-site technical guidance, helping farmers to check the quality and purity of seedlings, and also unified purchases to solve the problem of nut planting. Problems such as "no fruit trees, no harvest of products, and low market prices" have driven farmers to increase production and income.
"Tian Xiucai", "Soil Experts", "Rural Makers"... All regions build a "reservoir" of agricultural science and technology talents around characteristic industries.
Zhang Qi said, "Young scientific and technological talents join the countryside and become the 'communicator' of agricultural science and technology and the 'leader' of innovation and entrepreneurship, which is conducive to promoting the deep integration of science and technology and industry, through the strength of scientific research institutions, universities or enterprises behind the talents. Invest in rural development to form an innovative pattern of the whole industry chain with complementary functions, benign interaction, and collaborative opening."
