Chapter 56 Agricultural Economic Model
“The main crops in Yeshan County are rice, corn and soybeans.
But they are not cash crops. Under the tide of reform, farmers want to increase their incomes, and the traditional rigid agricultural economy cannot be sustained. A large number of young and middle-aged people will definitely leave their hometowns to provide productivity and create value in other places.
As a result, the labor force in towns and villages has been reduced, industries have been transferred, the development of towns and villages has been slow, and the economy has lagged behind.
But it's not impossible to save.
If the township economy wants to develop, it can only rely on agriculture and animal husbandry, and each region should integrate it based on its own conditions and advantages.
Leaving aside other topics for the time being, let’s talk about Yeshan County first. In fact, I’m not sure which kind of economic agriculture I should start with. Anyway, I feel that the traditional and rigid three are not suitable, and it is difficult to form a unique one.
Moreover, the cultivated land area in Yeshan County is small, so it is difficult to develop these three areas. Since we want to pursue economical agriculture, I think we should establish agriculture that can be planted three-dimensionally according to our own conditions.
What is three-dimensional?
It means establishing a new planting model based on its own conditions under a limited cultivated land area, such as the soilless cultivation technology mentioned in foreign countries.
Or it can be diversified, raising fish in rice fields, raising pigs on fish ponds, letting fish eat pig manure, raising chickens, ducks and geese under orchards, or blocking rivers for farming, etc.
Regarding the conditions in Yeshan County, we should first conduct small-scale exploration and establish an agricultural economic experimental area. This experimental area should also be combined with local humanities, soil, landscape and other conditions.
However, since Mr. Ji has contacted Boss Li, I think we should discuss and decide what crops should be planted in this experimental area based on the feedback he collected from the market!
The above are my simple opinions. If there is anything wrong with what I said, just treat it as nonsense!"
Chen An said it in an understatement!
But when Ji Yongkang and Li Yuanliang heard it, their eyes suddenly brightened.
Ji Yongkang has always used investigation and exploration to explore how the agricultural economy should be developed. Should traditional planting be refined and refined, or should new crops be developed?
Of course, when he came to Li Yuanliang, he really hoped that he could provide feedback on the sales of agricultural products in the market!
We already have some ideas, but Ji Yongkang hasn’t figured out how to implement it yet!
What surprised him was that Chen An didn't expect Chen An to see it so thoroughly, even more deeply than he did after he had been studying the market for so long!
When he was halfway through listening, Ji Yongkang had already sat up straight and looked at Chen An with a sense of admiration in his eyes!
He even suspected that this man was really a farmer born and raised in Longmen Village?
Moreover, he also mentioned the foreign soilless culture technology. In fact, this technology has recently begun to be introduced on a large scale in China, and is now being promoted in a few areas in the north.
But the effect is not very good, there are too many problems, and the investment is huge.
Yeshan County is not suitable for transition from traditional agriculture, so Ji Yongkang did not consider it!
But when Chen An mentioned diversification, Ji Yongkang couldn't help but feel refreshed.
He has thought about planting corn and peanuts in the same field, and then planting soybeans and other crops around it, so that one land can be used for multiple purposes.
But this idea is limited to crops.
Moreover, this will not improve the agricultural economy at all, and will even cause nutrient robbing, resulting in a reduction in the production of other crops!
What surprised him was what Chen An mentioned about breeding in farmland.
This is very fresh.
And several other things are also impacting Ji Yongkang's brain. He had thought of it a little before, but it was not as specific as what Chen An said.
Now that I hear these words, I feel enlightened.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but slap his thigh and cheer!
Of course, these have not been tested.
Chen An didn't strongly recommend any one, and he didn't even mention the mushrooms he wanted to grow.
Instead, it is recommended to start with a small-scale test area.
This method is really amazing.
Why didn't I think of that?
When Chen An finished speaking, Ji Yongkang seemed to have filled up the tank and was waiting to go for a lap on the track!
Bang bang bang~
Ji Yongkang couldn't help but applaud.
Li Yuanliang next to him was actually shocked by Chen An's words.
Before, he thought Chen An was just more knowledgeable than other farmers.
But now I find that this is not too much, it is simply a study manual for agricultural economics!
Even if I am in contact with both farmers and the market, I can’t imagine that the agricultural economy can be run like this!
Just based on the points he mentioned just now, he will immediately find a few villages to start working on it. Maybe within a year, he will be able to find a way to make a fortune that can be used by farmers in Yeshan County!
Of course, the specifics still depend on the market’s reaction.
That’s why Chen An said to start on a small scale first and do it bit by bit. After all, everyone is poor now and can’t afford the trouble!
Li Yuanliang couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Chen An, you have such knowledge, it's a pity to stay in a small place like Longmen Village!"
Chen An smiled and said: "Thank you, Boss Li. I just think a little more than others, but I'm still far behind you!"
The models just mentioned are very common in later generations, and some have even been tried and failed!
Chen An just said it casually!
Zhang Peilan was chatting with Han Shuya just now!
But after hearing what Chen An said, she felt that this Chen An was not simple.
These ideas are too advanced. The key is that the several breeding plans proposed are completely feasible.
Even she couldn't help but ask for her husband: "The investment in establishing the experimental area is not small, right?"
Chen An nodded: "The investment is indeed not small, and it is also very risky. After all, farmers' productivity is limited now. The grain they grow every year is paid to the public, and the rest is only enough for one year. It is very little money to exchange for it.
"
"But since the superiors have come up with a plan, I think they should also be given certain discounts."
“But I don’t know what specific discounts are available?”
"Of course, this may have to be kept secret. You don't have to tell me!"
Ji Yongkang immediately said: "It's not a secret. The superiors have indeed given me some authority. Once the direction is confirmed and farmers are allowed to switch to cash crops, public grains can be appropriately reduced and exempted, reducing the burden on farmers!"
Chen An shook his head: "Do you think farmers will buy this kind of discount?"
Ji Yongkang did not answer, but asked: "What do you have in mind?"
Chen An drank a glass of wine and said: "The experimental area can be specific to a village or even a team. Farmers participating in the experiment will be exempted from grain taxes and provided with corresponding subsidies, such as fertilizers, seeds, seedlings and other subsidies.
The county can even discuss with the bank to open up corresponding payment policies for farmers, with low interest or no interest."
These preferential policies were basic operations in later generations, but now it seems that they are very advanced and highly feasible!
Chen An continued: "This is not only to allow the experimental area to proceed smoothly and actively, but also to allow others to see the determination of the superiors."
"With guarantees, farmers' enthusiasm will be mobilized, and more and more people will participate. In this way, those with strength and brains will do better and better, and some bad ones will slowly be eliminated!"
"This is a good thing, because those who remain are the elites, which makes this industry unshakable."
"This economic model, as long as one village can implement it, will become a pillar industry for a town or even a county."
"The earlier we do it, the bigger dividends we can reap. Then we can build a local brand in Yeshan County and slowly form a fixed impression among similar products, such as Matong lychees, Turpan grapes, etc."
"In the future, when people mention certain types of agricultural products, they will subconsciously think of someone in Yeshan County."
