This time I came to the company, one is to thank the company for insuring our vegetable farmers, and the other is to raise seedlings soon. I would like to order by the way to see if there are new varieties of broccoli. "

On July 20th, Qiao Yongqin, a vegetable farmer from the North East Hong brigade of Qianjiang Totalkou Farm, came to Wuhan Yafei Seed Industry Co., and saw the company’s general manager He Yafei. As soon as he opened his mouth, he went straight to the subject.

In January, Qianjiang continuously rained for 6 consecutive days. The nearly 300 acres of Asian-African broccoli planted by Qiao Yongqin suffered losses like other growers, and the output declined. However, Wuhan Asian-African Seed Industry Co., Ltd. invested a vegetable weather index for vegetable farmers. Insurance, this season broccoli production, he received more than 8,000 yuan in compensation. Qiao Yongqin said happily that despite the weather, broccoli made more than 100,000 yuan this season. Moreover, it was the first time to receive compensation due to "natural disasters", and growing vegetables is really getting more and more promising. "This indemnity will also be used to purchase seeds."

Qiao Yongqin has grown Asian and African broccoli for 12 years. Previously, he had been planting traditional crops such as wheat, cotton, and sesame. In 2008, he tried planting 10 acres of Asian and African broccoli. Unexpectedly, the Asian-African broccoli planted is highly resistant. It is not only very easy to plant, but the benefits are quite good. The net income per mu is more than 1,000 yuan, which is 5 times the benefit of traditional planting. In the second year, he expanded the planting, and the varieties have grown from one or two to more than 10 now.

"47 mu of land earned more than 400,000 yuan, and the net income per mu was about 10,000 yuan." Thinking of the good market in 2016, Qiao Yongqin couldn't close his mouth. Qiao Yongqin is famous for growing Asian and African broccoli, and farmers and workers are willing to grow with him. In 2010, he took the lead in setting up the Shengjia Planting Professional Cooperative, which led the villagers to grow vegetables together. In addition, a new model of "sweet corn + broccoli" has been explored, and the benefits have also increased substantially, reaching more than 8,000 yuan per mu. "After the sweet corn is harvested, its stalks are crushed to make the field fertile, and the soil permeability is good, which is very good for growing broccoli. Not only does it have fewer diseases, good quality, but also green and safe, and the yield is high."

Today, on the farm, there are more than 100 households growing Asian and African broccoli with Qiao Yongqin, covering more than 3,000 mu, with an average annual household income of more than 60,000 yuan. By growing Asian and African broccoli, Qiao Yongqin not only bought a new house, bought a new car, but also married a daughter-in-law. The days of many farmers and workers have also become more prosperous.

"Of course I have to plant it." After years of planting, the technology has matured, the varieties have become better, the market has opened up, and insurance has been provided, and the benefits have become more stable. Well off.
