Chapter 265 Development of Organic Agriculture
In late April, spring ploughing work in various parts of the Yangtze River has begun one after another.
Haimen County, Collective Estate No. 101.
At this moment, there is not much movement in the fields of this manor, especially the tens of thousands of acres of paddy fields, which have not even started ploughing, allowing the weeds to grow to two or three feet high, which is in stark contrast to many collective estates that have been busy in the surrounding areas.
By the way, what's going on?
The villagers of 101 Manor, are they starting to be lazy and lie flat, and they still don't hurry up, so as not to miss the agricultural time?
Of course, it is not because of laziness that the Chinese people have never been lazy in farming, but that the 101 collective estate has changed its development strategy this year, hoping to bring more benefits.
They plan to move the time of rice planting back one month and sow it in late May, that is, change the word 'early rice' to 'late rice', because the late rice tastes better.
In addition, starting this year, these rice fields mainly use organic fertilizer produced from biogas digesters, plus a small amount of chemical fertilizer, pesticides can be used without it, using a large number of chickens, ducks and geese to eat pests in the rice fields, and even raise some insects to eat birds.
That is to say, they are taking the road of organic agriculture development this year, and they want to grow tens of thousands of acres of organic rice, and then sell it to the headquarters at a higher price.
Is this development model just reliable?
What if the pests and diseases are serious and the yield drops?
In fact, the management of the 101 collective estate has taken into account all aspects of the problem, and has seen that the collective estate that has taken the route of organic agriculture has achieved great success, so it is only necessary to learn from the successful experience and follow the learning.
The main reason for their adjustment is that the 101 collective estate, which has created economic benefits last year, ranked 94th out of 110 collective estates, which is very low.
This ranking was unacceptable, so a special meeting was held to discuss it.
"What's our problem?"
Zhuang Shou Wang Kangping knocked on the table, and said with a serious face: "Is it that some people have slacked off and began to lie on the merit book to enjoy, resulting in no sense of crisis at all, ranking 94th, this is almost the countdown, although the headquarters did not criticize and hold accountable, but we ourselves must not be insensitive, we must find out where the problem is!" ”
"Last year, the population of our manor was 18,654 people, achieving a total grain output of 437,000 stones, 32,000 stone of fish breeding and fishing, and the development of animal husbandry is also very good, raising more than 50,000 pigs, raising 20,000 sheep, raising more than 6,000 cattle, 500,000 chickens, ducks and geese, as well as brick kiln factories, ceramic factories, canning factories, rice mills, oil mills, reed mat factories and other workshops that bring economic benefits. It has brought a total of 2.974 million silver dollars in economic benefits, and the per capita income is 160 silver dollars, which is already very good, and I haven't seen a few people lazy, so I don't feel that there is much of a problem. Accountant Lu Wenxing said like a treasure.
"Yes, laziness will be despised and educated, now the days are getting better and better, they are all riveting, to move towards a rich life with a per capita annual income of 200 silver dollars, who dares to drag everyone back? I also took a closer look at the ranking of that list, No. 74 Manor, which ranked thirtieth, had a total benefit of only 150,000 silver dollars more than us last year, and the last No. 98 Manor was only 300,000 silver dollars less than us, and the difference in the benefits of each manor was not large. Another executive said.
"Since the difference in efficiency is not big, we shouldn't be so low in the ranking!"
Wang Kangping was still unhappy and said: "Our 101 manor is close to the Yangtze River, we can rely on the river to eat the river, catch a large number of fish every year, and it is a small number of manors with sufficient power supply, and the factory workshop has never been cut off!" Last year, a Jiangdong port was also established, attracting a lot of foreign passenger and cargo flows, there are so many unique advantages, the ranking is still so low, this is really a bit too much, I personally think that the ranking into the top 30, is more suitable for the location of our manor, everyone quickly think of a way, how to catch up? ”
Ranked in the top 30?
In the face of this goal proposed by Zhuang Shou, everyone had to discuss it one after another, and began to think about ways to catch up, and most people did not think that Wang Kangping was looking for something to do, and was tossing everyone, but they all breathed a sigh in their hearts, and they all couldn't accept such a low ranking, after all, there are indeed many advantages of 101 Manor.
Of course, for those Daming villages and towns around 101 Manor who have not joined the collective manor, if they understand their mentality, I am afraid that they will vomit blood one by one.
The per capita income is 160 silver dollars, which is at least ten times that of them! Live a fairy-like life, there is endless food, you can eat meat, eggs and milk every day, young people looking for a daughter-in-law are only beautiful and pleasing to the eye and have a good figure, it doesn't matter if you are not so virtuous, anyway, it is not a big problem, many traditional concepts have been subverted.
But these people living in heaven still do not feel satisfied, to achieve a well-off and to enter the great well-off, after the realization of the 150 silver dollars per capita Dakang, but also to pursue the per capita level of affluence, can simply make the people of the surrounding villages and towns, envy and jealousy to the point of madness, as well as regret, pain and even resentment for not being able to join the collective estate.
However, it does not matter how the surrounding villages and towns react, what matters is how to not be the tail of the crane within the collective estate system, how to be in the forefront, and become an example for other estates to learn from and catch up.
Yuan Ying, the young deputy head of the village, put forward the proposal of developing organic agriculture and planting organic rice, which was unanimously recognized and approved by everyone.
Because of the 101 collective estate, it has more than 15,000 acres of high-standard paddy fields.
If all organic rice is planted and almost no pesticides are used, the cost of pesticides alone can save 3,000 silver dollars.
The amount of chemical fertilizer can be halved, and more than 5,000 silver dollars can be saved.
The yield per mu will probably drop by two percent, only 1,200 catties.
However, at the headquarters, the price of organic rice was 20 wen per jin last year, four times that of ordinary rice at 5 wen per catty.
Quadruple the difference!
That is, at the cost level, it will save nearly 10,000 silver dollars in total.
In terms of terminal price, you can earn an additional 240,000 silver dollars.
Between this decrease and increase, the total brings an additional 250,000 silver dollars.
As long as it succeeds in organic farming this year, Collective Estate 101 will be able to fill the gap and potentially enter the top 30.
In addition, they will make efforts in workshops, fisheries, port operations, etc., at the same time, so as not to let other estates consolidate and expand their advantages, and it is almost a sure thing that their estates will enter the top 30.
Wang Kangping said excitedly: "Everyone's basic conditions are almost the same, there is no mine under our manor, there are no other estates, the number of workshops is about the same, the foundation is mainly agriculture, we can also rely on the river to eat the river, rely on the sea to eat the sea, in addition to many villages and towns on the south bank of the Yangtze River, also often come to trade with us to do business, more potential cooperation objects, in this case, as long as we give full play to and make use of these advantages, the end of the year will be able to hand in a beautiful answer, praised by the headquarters!" ”
"Let's do it, let's work together, no one can slack off this year, we must achieve better results!"
Wang Kangping stood up and clenched his fists to mobilize.
"Okay, let's fight a turnaround battle this year!"
"Growing organic rice, the income is expected to increase by 250,000 yuan, and simply set a target of increasing the total income by 350,000 yuan, so that our per capita income can break through to 200 silver dollars, and successfully achieve prosperity, which can be described as double happiness!"
"I think this is okay, as long as everyone works hard, it is not too difficult to increase the income by 350,000, and it can be done by gritting your teeth."
"That's right, gritting your teeth, working harder, and achieving prosperity ahead of schedule is far more significant than squeezing the rankings into the top 30."
"Yes, I totally approve of it!" Luan raised his hands to the east.
"Good! Since we are all so ambitious, then we will unite as one and work together, no matter how hard and difficult, we must achieve this goal this year! ”
Wang Kangping was very pleased.
……
Early May.
In the farmland that has been overgrown with weeds.
Yuan Ying instructed the villagers to cut down the weeds that grew too tall and vigorous and fed them to pigs, cattle and sheep as fodder.
At the same time, he also instructed another group of farmers to apply micro-granular farm manure to the sparse and low places where the weeds grow, so as to promote the growth of these weeds.
It's noon.
Xiang Si'er, who drove an electric tricycle and delivered lunch to her, after seeing this scene, she couldn't help but say to Yuan Ying: "Husband, I've seen those who fertilize grain, but I really haven't seen one that fertilizes weeds. ”
"It's called induced weeding."
Yuan Ying explained: "In this most suitable season for weed growth, we supplement fertilizer, so that weeds can grow unrestricted, and when it is close to rice transplanting, we use a rotary tiller to repeatedly plough and crush, so that after the rice is planted, the weeds will be greatly reduced, and it can also play a role in supplementing green manure and reducing the use of weeding pesticides." ”
"I see, it's a clever idea."
Xiang Si'er nodded again and again, she didn't expect that there were so many ways to farm, and if she wanted to achieve a bumper harvest, she needed to use a lot of means.
Buzz~
That's when it happened.
Overhead, the sound of an engine roaring.
Everyone looked up one after another, only to see a twin-propeller plane, flying from an altitude of thousands of meters, at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour, from north to south.
"Airplanes, this is airplanes, I saw it in the Oriental Times! Some time ago there were often reports of the introduction of aircraft. ”
"I think it flew from the harbor city."
"I wonder where this plane is going?"
"I didn't expect that people can really sit in the iron bird, where to go high in the sky, I don't know if we will have the opportunity to sit down one day?"
Yuan Ying also tilted his head until his neck was sore, and he watched the plane gradually disappear into the distance, and then he couldn't retract his curious gaze.
