For Li Zhao said that the output of Lijia Village has increased tenfold, everyone is quite disbelievable, although along the way, everyone is shocked, and feel that Li Zhao's idea of ecological agriculture is very reliable, after all, earthworms are raised with basically useless straw and manure, but the tenfold increase also makes these people feel too outrageous.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Li Zhao had no choice but to tell the people who came about his plan for Lijia Village: "Regarding the development of Lijia Village, I am actually roughly divided into three steps, everyone knows that my purpose is to operate our Lijia Village as a farm, and the members of the club follow the farm workers, right?" ”

Seeing everyone nodding, Li Zhao continued: "My first step is actually very simple, is to open up the ecological agriculture link, today everyone has seen our kind of earthworm situation, in fact, these quantities are still very insufficient, according to our observation, earthworms can probably eat their own weight of the material every day, our first step is in the case of 1,000 acres of land, about the earthworm breeding scale expanded to four times the current level." ”

"This amount is about enough to consume one pool of material per day, and the fermentation time of one pool of material is about ten days now, so that the basic pool is full every day, and there will be about five or six more pools. At this scale, we can produce about 400 catties of earthworms per day, which will be added to pigs, chickens, fish and other materials as protein feed. ”

Everyone is also discussing, this is too much to produce 400 catties of earthworms a day, in fact, this is normal, the growth rate of earthworms is about 10% of the amount of food, so Li Zhao's calculation is not exaggerated, and then Li Zhao continued to calculate for everyone. "Then if we replace three percent of the feed with earthworms, add four percent of grain, and three percent of grass to breed animals, because our feed has a high protein content, then we can raise about 180 tons of pigs or other animals every year, if it is fish, it is estimated that it will increase several times."

Hearing this, everyone was also a little dumbfounded, this is too much, Li Zhao then calculated the account for everyone: "According to the minimum meat rate of 7 percent, then it is nearly 200,000." Of course, we also consumed 144 tons of grain, we mainly used corn, the cost was probably less than 4,000 yuan, and we also consumed about 108 tons of grass. ”

At this time, an agricultural expert said: "This is about the annual output of 10 acres of pasture, so calculated, it is equivalent to the output of about 500 acres of land, which can reach 200,000 outputs." And the public grain is also delivered in full, so the output value can be increased tenfold. ”

Hearing the words of the experts, everyone also wrote and drew in the small notebook they brought, and sure enough, the final result was very different, so it was completely in accordance with Li Zhao's ecological agriculture model, which could greatly increase income.

"Don't be happy too early, we still have factors that have not been calculated, with the improvement of our fertilizers, pesticides, seeds, etc., then our grain output is estimated to reach a yield of 1,000 catties per mu, then this will be three or four hundred acres of land can achieve the output value, straw is not enough, we can definitely plant grass to feed earthworms, the yield of forage grass does not need me to popularize science, that is to say, in the case of reasonable arrangements in the future, we can have about 500,000 output value of 1,000 acres of land."

Li Zhao is actually helpless when he thinks about it, in the countryside in his previous life, there is really no way to realize ecological agriculture, if a village thinks in one place and makes all its efforts in one place, then the establishment of a small farm with the village as a unit, then the annual output value can also get several million. However, people plant a few acres of grain, apply fertilizer and pesticides, and then wait until the harvest time is harvested, and sell the grain directly on the ground.

Due to the prohibition of straw burning, a lot of straw is pushed directly into the ditch, or part of it is beaten to the ground by the rotary cultivator, due to the lack of water, decomposition bacteria, etc., the decomposition rate is slow, not to mention the impact of the next season's harvest, but also a lot of waste of organic matter. In such a situation, what is the output value of one acre of land?

You may not believe it, take corn as an example, about 5 catties of seeds, 50 yuan, two bags of fertilizer, about 300 yuan, sowing and harvesting 200 yuan, twice pesticide weeding and insect control 60 yuan, the cost is almost 600 yuan, the yield is basically about 1000 catties, corn is calculated at 1.4 yuan a catty, the output value per mu is only 800 yuan, according to the two seasons, it is only 1600 yuan, this is still a relatively loose calculation, the manual is not calculated at all, and the output value of planting wheat will be lower.

And how many fields does a farmer have? You may not believe it, but the average household is only 2 to 5 acres of land, and some large agricultural provinces may have more, only about 10 acres, which also leads to farmers having land in their hands, but not making money. The first is the problem of the site, where can a family find enough space to process materials, where to raise earthworms, and where to raise livestock? Of course, if all this can be solved, then what is the output value of all the materials on the five acres of land? Of course, everything should go smoothly and be free of illness and disaster.

Because the site is too small, at most a part of ecological agriculture, five acres of land according to two seasons, about 10,000 catties of grain, also counted as 10,000 catties of straw, then equivalent to 10,000 catties of grain, 1,000 catties of earthworms, if all converted into pigs, it is four or five thousand catties, if it is ten yuan a catty, it is four to fifty thousand, after deducting all costs, at most there will be twenty or thirty thousand income, it is not bad, compared with part-time jobs, there is no comparison at all.

And if large-scale ecological agriculture is formed, then the output value will also be amazing, let's say that the area of Li Zhao's village is so large, if it is placed in 60 years, if it is only planted with grain and the straw is sold, it will only be 15 or 6 million yuan in output value, and it will not exceed 20 million. And if all of them are developed into an ecological agriculture model, and these organic matter can be fully utilized, it will easily reach hundreds of millions, and of course the investment will definitely be a lot.

Turning his mind, Li Zhao continued: "There are still some issues to pay attention to, the first is epidemic prevention, which is very important for raising livestock, otherwise it is likely to lose all your money." The second point is technical support, there are a lot of strains needed to raise earthworms, and I have a very low-level deployment here, and there are too many things that need to be improved, so we need to get the support of biological and agricultural experts. The third point is that the state does not allow this to be done, because our large-scale livestock breeding will consume a lot of grain, and we need to plant pasture, which also needs to be regulated and controlled by the state at the macro level. ”

There is no way to do this, and now it is still the norm to not have enough to eat, and the preciousness of food is self-evident. The consumption of raising chickens is still very small, but once the pigs are raised, the consumption will be completely up, but Li Zhao also has a way, that is, he can't raise pigs, and the same is true for fish farming.

Everyone was also deep in thought, and Li Zhao's consideration was very comprehensive. Then Li Zhao continued: "Our second step is to continue to expand the scale, and if we have enough tractors, then we are ready to expand the planting area to 3,000 to 4,000 acres in the next step." Then new projects were introduced, the first of which was the greenhouse, which made it possible to grow out-of-season vegetables and put an end to the situation of only cabbage and radishes in winter. The second is the cultivation of mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, etc. The third is fish farming, you know grass carp, this kind of fish grows fast, the meat quality is not bad, can be mainly grass to breed, we are ready to continue to dig the ditch to the south, so that we can not only ensure the water source for irrigation, but also can raise fish, and at the same time prevent wild boars or something from harming the crops. The fourth is pasture planting, which can provide feed for cattle, sheep, pigs, fish, etc. The fifth is to plant fruit trees, nut trees, etc. on the hillsides. ”

"And our third step is the limit of what we can reach here, we have about 8,000 acres of land here, and there are more slopes, more than 10,000 acres. The final step is to clear all the land and plant a variety of suitable fruit trees on the hillside, preferably with a different yield each month. And when we reach such a scale, you should all be able to understand that our output value will reach tens of millions, which is not comparable to simply growing food. ”

"That's what I want to do with the ecological agriculture that I want to develop, centering on earthworm farming, integrating many agricultural projects into the cycle and making the most of organic matter. People may not believe it, but in fact, chicken manure can be fed to pigs after treatment, which is the power of ecological agriculture, which can make full use of the organic matter produced by the land and maximize the use of cultivated land. Think about how much land there is across the country, and what a huge output it would be if it were all used. ”
