Chongqing arm - less boy disabled Zhijian, chicken business into a large farmer

Wu Xiaofan of Yonghong Village, Zengfu Township, Fuling District, Chongqing, lost his arms forever when he was 3 years old. But the dilemma did not beat him down, he used his feet to do the same thing as normal people, but also through their own efforts to become a well-known chicken farmers in Zengfu township. Wu Xiaofan, 25, lost his arms in an accident when he was a child. Over the years, he has learned to eat, wash clothes and operate computers with his feet.

In 2008, Xiao Fan also started his first business, which failed, but the accumulated experience laid the foundation for his second venture. In June 2010, Wu Xiaofan started a chicken farm in his family. In order to make the chickens grow well, he stays in the chicken farm during the day, digging bugs for more than 1,000 chickens, feeding them and cleaning the chicken farm. In the evening, he taught himself the knowledge of disease prevention and treatment of chickens and studied the technology of raising chickens. Xiaofan started his micro enterprise in 2012, when he received 33,000 yuan in subsidies. In the same year, he also used the free farming greenhouses provided by the village. "Because of the government's support, I am now living a good life and the farm is getting better and better." Xiao Fan said that his farm is now expanding year by year. By 2015, he fed 100 pheasants, 45 guinea fowl and 2,500 native chickens. Last year, the breeding income reached more than 9,000 yuan.

Like Wu Xiaofan, there are many people in Yonghong Village who have lifted themselves out of poverty through farming. After all, the government has seen the market for local chickens with increased prosperity. To this end, it has specially arranged funds for individual farmers and large farmers to subsidize infrastructure such as water, electricity, roads, farm leveling, materials for breeding greenhouses, materials for regulating small chicken houses, and purchasing chicken seedlings. Village government targeted poverty alleviation to see the prospect of native chicken

Nowadays, the whole Yonghong village in the process of the development of the native chicken industry, a total of 44 micro enterprises have been cultivated, 2 agricultural development companies have been introduced, 3 professional cooperatives have been established, and 320 native chicken farmers have been promoted to develop, among which, 210 farmers have more than 50 native chickens annually, and 24 farmers have more than 2000.

The whole village raises chicken, this is the industrial development orientation of the poor village of Zengfu township. So since thought of raising native chicken, so in this respect township government, the village and what specific practices?

In this regard, the person in charge of Zengfu Township told us that since the positioning and development of "Zengfu native chicken", the township government planned to carry out the construction of 80-mu Zengfu native chicken source breeding farm in 2012 to create Huanglong, Yonghong and Heba three standardized breeding demonstration zones. Under this background, the YongHong village for those routes, positive for all parties, invested more than 300 ten thousand yuan of highway, water conservancy and other infrastructure construction, successfully introduced many poultry companies to native village to carry out the increase breeding, circulation of forest land 100 mu, built 39, 7000 square meters of standardized "native" breeding hen house, Newly promoted the development of more than 1000 "Zengfu native chicken" farmers 32, increased Zengfu native chicken breeding staff 126 people, realized the Zengfu native chicken breeding scale doubled in three years, vigorously promoted the "Zengfu native chicken" scale innovation mode laid the foundation of native chicken, while the scale of raising chicken, quality has become a problem to be considered in the village. Native to ensure that increase quality, improve the image of the native increase, the township government on industry development mode, take the company + peasant household or cooperative + peasant household development model, unified by the company finance unified purchase, unified supply 40, feed, unified guidance technology, or by the cooperative unified planning, unified construction, unified management, unified purchase, unified control, The move not only reduces industrial risks, but also stabilizes product quality.

In terms of breeding technology, the government has added modern scientific elements on the basis of traditional breeding methods, and formulated breeding regulations for Zengfu native chickens to ensure that Zengfu native chickens are healthy, environmentally friendly and nutritious. In 2014, the Ministry of Agriculture carried out the "green food certification" process, by Yonghong village for inspection of the Zengfu native chicken indicators are in line with the national green food certification standards. Set up cooperatives to help villagers find outlets

Since there is a guarantee of quality, opening the market is a particularly important step in helping the poor out of poverty. In this regard, the relevant person in charge introduced that Zengfu native chicken, like other traditional agricultural products, had faced the problem of difficult sales and low market share, which greatly affected the enthusiasm of villagers in breeding. How to improve the benefit of villagers' breeding, ensure that villagers' breeding is not harmed, and reduce the risk of breeding to the maximum extent are the problems that the Party committee and the government and the majority of farmers have to face. In 2012, Yonghong Village established the first professional cooperative of Zengfu native chicken breeding, which formed a community of economic interests among farmers in the village, initially changing the situation of "a single family entering the market". In 2013, Yonghong Village signed an agreement with a poultry breeding company with a mature sales network, stipulating that villagers should breed Zengfu native chicken according to the technical specifications of Zengfu native chicken breeding, and the company would regularly purchase Zengfu native chicken at the market price after marketing, which effectively solved the problem of unsalable Zengfu native chicken. Because of the clear goal of the village government to vigorously develop the local chicken industry and targeted poverty alleviation, in 2015, the cooperative increased the number of local chickens by 70,000, achieving an income of 800,000 yuan. The per capita net income of farmers in Yonghong is 10,500 yuan, reaching the goal of poverty alleviation for the whole village.

So, not only used to provide for poverty alleviation fund to help poor crossed the poverty line, the most important is to let the poor has the hematopoietic function, and fuling native increase township target market, help the villagers to build greenhouses, 40, give a chicken technology support, it is provided to poor villagers "hematopoiesis" the best way. Of course, in addition to the industrial help up and down the homework, the construction of various supporting facilities, is also an indispensable element to build hematopoietic function, from hardening roads to the construction of poverty alleviation resettlement sites, from the installation of water supply network to the installation of natural gas. Zengfu Township has actively explored industrial poverty alleviation methods, initiated poverty alleviation projects such as enterprise-driven poverty alleviation, enhanced the "hematopoietic function" of poor areas, and helped more and more farmers cross the line to get rid of poverty in ways worthy of reference.
