Chapter 109: After the Drought

Since October, it has rained several times in a row, and the scorching heat has suddenly receded, and the drought that has been raging for most of the year has finally eased. The rain has dropped sharply, and autumn is belated. The paddy fields were filled with water again, but some of them were washed away by the heavy rain and poured down to the next field like a small waterfall.

Looking at the strings of bright red numbers in front of him, Liu Peng's heart couldn't help but be surprised, the loss of this drought is too heavy, the total population of the village is more than 200 households, and the rice produced this year is more than 60 tons, with a total value of more than 600,000 yuan, and the rice and sweet potatoes in the field have also died because of the drought, and this part is also more than 300,000, which is only the loss of grain. There are also fruit trees in the village, but also due to drought, the fruits have been taken off, this calculation and the whole village's food income want to be, there is 700,000 looks, counting the loss of pigs raised by the villagers, this drought will make the whole village lose nearly two million! But fortunately, because the handmade bamboo products developed by bamboo in the past two months have made up for part of the losses of the whole village, the value of the bamboo chairs produced in these two months alone is nearly 1 million, and some small ones such as some bamboo baskets have offset most of the losses caused by the drought to the villagers.

After reading all the statistical records, Liu Peng was a little relieved, fortunately he found the idea of processing bamboo products at that time, otherwise there would really be no grain harvest in the field this year. Closing the document and leaning back against the chair produced in his village, Liu Peng sighed and felt a lot more relieved.

The drought has passed, and after the heavy rain in the past few days, some paddy fields need to be renovated, and those dry lands also have to be dug again, because the agricultural production is about to enter the autumn and winter, and now the first task is to organize the members of the village committee to go deep into the village, cooperate with the villagers to repair the damaged fields in the village, and prepare for the agricultural production work in the autumn and winter.

For the villagers of Sunshine Village, although this drought is a rare encounter for them, the loss caused is not small, fortunately they have a good director, in this drought, their Director Liu led the members of the village committee in the village to find a way for everyone to deal with the difficulties, these situations are seen in the eyes, but also moved in the heart, because in the past, the village director will not do such a thing, if something big happens, at most to talk about the comfort words on the scene, This day still has to go on as it is, and now it's okay, with such a director who has always thought about everyone, can you not be grateful in your hearts? After learning that the villagers in those villages could only stare dryly at the crops in the field being sunburned, and even had a lot of disputes over the water source in the well, everyone sighed their luck from time to time, and later Director Liu also thought of an idea of weaving bamboo for everyone, which brought income to everyone and made up for the losses caused by the drought.

At the beginning, some village leaders hoped that the enterprises that raised funds could alleviate the losses caused by the disaster, but they did not bring them income, taking the meat processing of eight villages as an example, when building the factory, there was no accurate estimate, and a lot of money was spent on the construction of plants and equipment, and there was not much liquidity left in their hands. And their main business is to slaughter pigs, and then carry out rapid freezing, and then send them to the city, but this drought has caused the number of pigs to drop sharply, and the price will naturally rise all the way. But when they went to buy pigs, they found that the money in their hands was less pigs, and when they calculated in their hearts, they made less money.

Liu Peng and Yi Zhishu walked on the field road one after the other, looked around, no, you can also find some comrades of the village committee, they are all comrades arranged by Liu Peng to go deep into the field, there are many villagers in the field to repair their fields, the water surface "exposed" clusters of rice piles, there are also messy "messy" floating around some straw, the straw in the field has long been harvested by the villagers, although there is no food output, but these straws are still the main fuel for the villagers to cook!

"Yi Zhishu, it's really miserable to look at these situations! Other villages are already looking like this! Liu Peng, who was walking in front, suddenly asked

Yi Zhishu sighed and said: "Alas! If it weren't for the fact that there was a person like you Director Liu in our village, I think we would be no different from other villages, and the same confiscation this year will be successful, but now Director Liu will not only be able to lead the villagers to get rich in normal times, but also be able to come up with a way to make the villagers make money in such a disaster situation! ”

Liu Peng did not speak out against this time, not that he took it for granted, but that he was analyzing the problems that could be found in this disaster, the traditional agriculture in the past was very single in production, and there was no prevention and insurance mechanism, just like now, when a big disaster occurs, it will bring a destructive blow to agricultural production in the current year and even in the next year, and people in the countryside will also have no harvest, just like people in other villages, they can only accept it helplessly, On the surface, it seems that the income of the villagers has been guaranteed, but if you think about it carefully, it is just the same as other villages, just put on a coat on the surface! Then only in agricultural production is also the introduction of insurance mechanism to enable farmers to be able to produce with peace of mind, although I thought of the mechanism of agricultural insurance, but such a major event is not able to decide on its own, remember that the depth of agricultural insurance is only after 04 years to begin, before it was in a state of contraction, the risk of agricultural insurance itself is very large, so the major commercial "sex" insurance companies are difficult to bear and digest independently, and the awareness of farmers in this regard is very weak, At present, it is impossible for the villagers to carry out agricultural production insurance, and it seems that they can only rely on their own companies to develop new varieties and disperse some risks in agricultural production.
