In order to further consolidate and expand the effective connection between the achievements of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, Song Jun, secretary of the former Party branch of Taiping Village, Dongming Town, Shuangliao City, took multiple measures to promote the cultivation of Chinese herbal medicine according to local conditions and combined with his own advantages. By adjusting the industrial structure, we should develop the understory economy, courtyard economy, and roadside economy, and lead farmers to increase their income through planting cooperatives.
Song Jun led the villagers to Bozhou in Anhui, Anguo in Hebei, Zibo in Shandong, Fuxin in Liaoning, Chifeng in Inner Mongolia, Yitong and other cities and counties for inspection, and successively invited and docked Bozhou pharmacists, Yitong Chinese Herbal Medicine Association, experts from the planting base of Siping Beiyao Group, and professors from Jilin Agricultural University to the village to conduct field investigations, do soil testing, market analysis, and clarify sales channels.
This year, the former Taiping Village adopted the model of "village committee, cooperative, and farmer" and carefully selected three varieties of Chinese herbal medicine for planting, including "Shegan", "Unicorn" and "Salvia", among which "Shotan" has a small investment and high profits, "Unicorn" has high economic benefits, and "Salvia" has a large market consumption, which has driven all villagers to increase production and income. Through investment promotion and cooperation with pharmaceutical companies, the area of planting Chinese herbal medicines is 524 hectares, with an estimated annual profit of 3.84 million yuan, driving 62 households with 158 people to increase their income by 120,000 yuan.
In 2021, Song Jun led the villagers to establish the "Qiantaiping Village Luyou Planting Cooperative", and through cooperation with the Shuangliao Agricultural Technology Extension Center, the former Taiping Village was the center to build a rice seed test field, and 11 varieties were planted, among which Jijing 525, Jijing 528, Qinglin 661, Mengyou Xiangmi No. 1 and other varieties performed well.
On the basis of order acquisition, we will develop visual agriculture, establish traceability and tracking equipment, extend from ordinary planting to ecological planting, improve food quality through manual labor, and transition from yield to quality. In 2022, more than 900,000 catties of green pollution-free high-quality rice will be sold through e-commerce, of which 550,000 catties will be sold under the two high-quality rice brands of "36,000 Xiang" and "Yiqifang" of Luyou Planting Cooperative, and 680,000 catties will be sold by Tianlai Rice. Today, the rice brand has formed a large-scale and industrialized, with an output value of more than 5 million yuan.
Song Jun led the former Taiping Village to make use of the advantages of natural resources, closely follow the main line of the village's collective economic development and farmers' income increase, constantly optimize and adjust the agricultural planting structure, revitalize idle land, and lead farmers to embark on the road of scientific planting, large-scale development and industrialized operation with "characteristic planting", so that farmers can puff up their money bags and live a good life.
