“preliminarily, the cost of removing artificial seeds, etc., makes a net gain of approximately 150,000.” on 10 september, the harvest of watermelon in li xiangualand was completed in a second group of hill posts in the village of little trench in mansung town。
This year, only a test seed, li xian can see which species are the best combined。
Li xiannan, a group of two people from the village of little trench, transferred 50 acres of land from the villagers and, together with his own land, planted 70 acres of watermelon once this year。
“despite its dark skin colour, 18 black pugs are managed with little seeds and a sense of taste, and are suitable for local cultivation.” li xian looks like he's dry, talking about watermelons。
After graduating from the university in 2009, li xian was engaged in such tasks as the sale of fodder and seeds, and went to shandong to learn to breed and to transfer to the countryside。
Last year, when a watermelon seed was recommended to an agent in jiangxi province, he was choked by one sentence, "you said so well, you planted it yourself?"
There's land in the house, there's land in the village, there's land in the village, there's land in the village, there's technology in the house, so why don't you do your own business and make the village rich? Li xian decided to do it right away。
Exulsiveness is not tantamount to dryness. “there is a great need for watermelons in state markets, but few watermelons are grown, especially of good quality”. After market research and taking into account soil characteristics, he decided to plant watermelon。
For his first real planting, he was cautious in order to reduce risk and to find good varieties, drawing on the experience of many years of seed sales, he chose a dozen varieties, such as early pickles 77, butterflies 406 and 18, using open-air cultivation to reduce costs, with a total of $70,000。
Under his careful management, the watermelon was added to the market and the first seed test yielded a harvest. During the planting process, help was also sought from the neighbouring communities, who were paid an hourly wage to increase their income。
As a next step, li xian can plan to use the gap between watermelons to grow radish and green vegetables to increase the profits and to introduce the shandong species for testing next year。
“the main reason for this is to encourage the community to grow together, and farmers will do so whenever they see tangible benefits. We're done together, we're on a scale, we're cost-effective.” li xian has a long-term plan。
