Red Net Moment News on March 4(Correspondent Tang Taohua Liu Hui) In the past few days, the rape flower base in Baitanhe Village, Hengtang Town, Dong'an County has been full of tourists. Tourists check in, take pictures, taste food, buy local goods ......Enjoy the beautiful spring.
This time, we organized a self-driving tour from Shaoyang City, which was to visit the rape fields and taste the mutton in Hengtang. Molly, a tourist, said as she tasted the food.
Due to the unique scenery and the continuous flow of tourists, the "flower appreciation economy" has become a new economic growth point in Baitanhe Village, and the villagers eat "tourist meals" at their doorsteps, and a number of farmhouses of different scales and characteristics have emerged.

Now there are more than 10 tables of guests every day, and the income can be three to four thousand yuan a day during the peak period. Rong Zhongyue said happily that the annual income from farming was only 40,000 yuan, but now, relying on the popularity of rape flowers, the annual net income is more than 100,000 yuan.

We adopt the rotation method of rice and rapeseed to develop the flower economy and ensure grain production. The town's rape planting area is more than 8,000 acres, and it is estimated that the per capita income of rape growers will increase by more than 1,500 yuan. Yi Nian, Secretary of the Party Committee of Hengtang Town, said.
In recent years, Dong'an County has vigorously promoted the "rice-oil rotation" model, turned "idle fields" into "benefit fields", used flowers as a medium to invigorate the "beautiful economy", made full use of more than 150,000 acres of winter idle fields to plant rapeseed, and developed a "flower economy" integrating flower tourism, leisure and entertainment, and agricultural product sales, so as to drive the masses to increase their income and get rich. Efforts have been made to build 6 high-quality flower-viewing spots, 3 high-quality flower-viewing routes, and 10 tourism and cultural activities to meet the diverse flower-viewing needs of tourists.
While beautifying the countryside, rape flowers have also brought income to local villagers. In the 1,000-mu rapeseed demonstration film in Tangjia Village, Lumaqiao Town, there are temporary stalls, and many villagers bring their own sweet potato flour, orange candy, eggs and other agricultural products for sale, enjoying the benefits brought by the "beautiful economy".
In addition to rape flowers, the rapeseed oil in Tangjia Village has a strong fragrance, and it is also a "fragrant dumpling" that tourists rush to buy. The oil extraction industry that extends from this is also extremely prosperous. Li Shiran is the person in charge of an oil mill in Lumaqiao Town, and his rapeseed oil is selling well in the surrounding counties every year.
Each mu of rapeseed can produce 300 catties of rapeseed, according to the proportion of 100 catties of rapeseed can squeeze 35 catties of rapeseed oil, one mu of land can squeeze 100 catties of oil, and each catty of rapeseed oil can be sold for 10 yuan, which is higher than the income of simple farming. Li Shiran said.

There are many vegetable oil processing workshops like Li Shiran in Lumaqiao Town, and the local government encourages and guides the masses to develop agricultural industries in the way of "cooperatives + farmers", which not only strengthens the village-level collective economy, but also broadens the way for the masses to increase their income and get rich.
Dong'an County has invested a total of 794 this year50,000 yuan for the development of rapeseed production, rapeseed planting area of 1550,000 acres, 4 demonstration pieces of 10,000 mu, 35 demonstration pieces of 1,000 mu, and 217 demonstration pieces of 100 mu. Since January, the county has received more than 500,000 tourists and achieved a comprehensive tourism income of 1200 million yuan.
