On the morning of August 14, 2018, under the blue sky and white clouds, among the green mountains and clear waters, the interview group of the 14th National Online Media Ningxia Tour walked into Xiangfeng Modern Ecological Cycle in Xiji County, located in the hinterland of Liupan Mountain Agricultural demonstration park, in-depth exploration of the new model of ecological recycling agriculture in mountainous areas.
In the demonstration park, online media reporters visited the display of special agricultural products, standardized cowsheds and high-tech vegetable greenhouses, and learned in detail about the basic situation of the park, the development model of circular agriculture and economic benefits.
It is understood that the park relies on scientific research institutes such as the Ningxia Agricultural Survey and Design Institute and the Ningxia Academy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences to breed beef cattle on a standardized scale, from processing organic fertilizer from cow manure to returning the organic fertilizer to the fields for planting potatoes, green vegetables, High-quality pasture, and then to the ecological cycle model of raising beef cattle on pasture. Build a modern ecological circular agriculture demonstration park with a high starting point, high standards and high level, and build a full ecological circular industry chain of "planting, raising, processing and marketing" and "from farmland to table".
“Only by developing modern ecological agriculture can we achieve sustainable development of agriculture and get rid of poverty and enrich the people.” Gou Changshou, manager of Xiangfeng Modern Circular Agriculture Demonstration Park, said that Su Xiangfeng, the founder of the park, gave full play to the role of the party organization leader in “leading the way.” "Goose" and the "vanguard" of the leaders in getting rich, explored three models of "borrowing mothers to give birth to calves", "four-party cooperation" and "free funding" to enhance the hematopoietic function of poor households. The park allows nearly 300 local farmers from registered households to work in planting bases, breeding parks, and starch companies. The average annual income of surrounding farmers increases by more than 5,000 yuan.
Gou Changshou said that at present, the park has built 10 standardized double-row cattle barns covering an area of ??15,000 square meters, 2 hay greenhouses, and 3 silage ponds. It raises 600 Angus and Simmental cows, purchases 3,500 high-breed basic cows for farmers in projects such as "Targeted Poverty Alleviation" and "Whole Village Promotion", and breeds 500 calves annually, achieving a profit of 2.05 million yuan.
In the second phase of the vegetable standard garden, 4 Ningxia third-generation large-span solar greenhouses, 12 single-layer all-steel frame large arch sheds, and 6 double-layer all-steel frame large arch sheds were built. Strawberries, broccoli, purple cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, nectarines and other seasonal special vegetables are planted in the garden. Water and fertilizer integration technology and drip irrigation water-saving technology are promoted to achieve 100% coverage of new vegetable varieties and a water utilization rate of 90%. %. At the same time, we will demonstrate and promote green pest and disease prevention and control technologies to ensure the quality and safety of vegetable products.
It is reported that in the next step, the park will focus on developing the finishing industry and increasing the added value of products. The purchased and installed organic fertilizer processing production line is about to be put into operation. It is expected to achieve sales revenue of 18 million yuan and profit of 4.5 million yuan.
It is worth mentioning that here, reporters also saw vermicelli products affectionately called "Red Army powder" by locals. 81 years ago, the Red Army's Long March passed through Xinglong Town, Xiji County, Ningxia, and taught the Hui people here step by step how to make vermicelli; more than 80 years later, the local people have continued to inherit and improve the vermicelli making technology taught by the Red Army, and developed the flour-making industry. "Not only has it witnessed the well-being of the Red Army and the people, it has also become a pillar industry for the local people to get rid of poverty and become rich.
