On the morning of April 22, in the container planting workshop in Nanmazhuang Village, Xinhe County, Hebei Province, the reporter saw a worker busy with the opening of auricularia auricula rod to promote germination. The golden bud sprouts from the opening of the stick and is full of vitality.
Golden fungus, also known as yellow fungus, is a new variety of southern fungus and northern fungus in the development of rare edible mushroom industry in Xinhe County, Hebei Province.
"This is our smart micro factory used to grow golden ear." Zhang Shiqing, head of Xinhe County Zhongle Planting Professional Cooperative, told reporters that since August 2023, they have built 17 such rare edible fungus smart micro factories.
Zhang Shiqing introduced that in this 36 square meter smart micro factory, they have planted more than 2500 auricular fungus sticks, and each crop can produce 2500 jin of auricular fungus.
How about the income of planting golden ear? Zhang Shiqing calculated an account: "According to the current market price, the income of each crop is more than 40000 yuan, and it is no problem to plant 6 to 7 crops every year."
"One jin of self-made strain rod can grow one jin of golden ear, and its mushroom production rate is relatively high." As a planting expert of the cooperative, Zhang Shiqing has deep feelings on how to improve the yield of golden ear. "On the one hand, it benefits from the intelligence of this micro factory. The temperature, humidity, light and other parameters can be remotely controlled through mobile phones." He said, "With the scientific control of the budding and color changing stages, the production of Jiner will naturally be high."
"On the other hand, it is the seed production technology in this laboratory." Zhang Shiqing said while leading the reporters to the Golden Ear Seed Production Room.
In 2022, the cooperative where Zhang Shiqing works began to research and develop golden ear seed production, and ensured the mushroom yield and quality of golden ear stick by tackling key problems in the proportion of strains and raw materials of the stick.
"Seed production is the source of characteristic planting." In Zhang Shiqing's opinion, this is the key to turn the smart micro factory into a "model room" for auricular planting. He told reporters that the cooperative directly helped 110 farmers in five villages including Dongdong Village to become rich last year, and indirectly benefited 326 farmers. Villagers increased their income through land transfer, local work and dividend distribution of funds for rural revitalization.
Develop characteristic agriculture with industrial concept. "Judging from the results of last year's batch trial planting, this is a replicable model of increasing income and getting rich." Li Qiubao, secretary of the Party Committee of Xiliu Township, Xinhe County, said that they will build 43 smart micro factories in Nanmazhuang Village this year, which will drive more than 20 farmers to find jobs.
In 2023, Xinhe County, which sees the development prospect of characteristic rural industries, plans to build a smart agriculture demonstration area in Nanmazhuang consisting of 26 villages. "There are 10 villages in our township," said Li Qiubao. To this end, they planned these 10 villages as a demonstration belt of characteristic agricultural industries such as golden ear, morel and grapes.
"Funds are the key to the development of industrial projects." Jia Shutao, director of Xinhe County Agricultural and Rural Bureau, said that in the construction of smart micro factories, they have striven for the revitalization of rural areas, the development of provincial vegetable industry clusters and enterprises to donate nearly 9 million yuan in the past two years.
During the conversation, Zhang Shiqing opened a bag of dried golden fungus, and the golden golden fungus flesh showed an attractive color. "Golden ear can not only be eaten fresh, but also be transformed into dried golden ear, golden ear soup and other products." He told reporters that by extending the golden ear deep processing industry chain, the characteristic mushroom industry has gradually become a wild goose in Xinhe.
How to make Xinhe Jiner more popular? "In order to enhance the influence and competitiveness of Jiner, we have actively promoted and created a regional brand of" Jiner in Xinhe "." Han Fei, secretary of Xinhe County Party Committee, said that by establishing sales cooperation with Beijing Xinfa, they not only transported the picked fresh Jiner directly to Beijing, but also accurately adjusted the planting varieties in smart micro factories according to market conditions and needs, Effectively prevent planting risks.
Now, the golden card of "New River Golden Ear" has been opened. With the brand and market of Jiner, Xinhe farmers have the confidence and security to increase their income, and their life is more and more promising.
