In the first winter, everything was dormant, while the watermelon shed in the town of fort gansu young changju was green and fragranced. A couple who have grown watermelons for more than a decade earns thousands of dollars in a shed, not through the planting of a watermelon technology video, but through a well-established management manual and the scientific planning of the town's agrotechnical centre。
The first winter in the shed
At the beginning of december, the town of fort zhu, yongchang county, a company with a zero-degree external temperature, had passed through the air. However, the villager's watermelon shed is warmer than the sun, the vines are crawling with the roofs, the guacamole goes out for a while, the watermelon is full of head and leaves green, and the bottom of the harvest is written on each vine。
Every day at 9:00 a. M., zhao relian entered the shed on time to work. Water, whole chicken pressure, fertilizer, gavage, ventilation, temperature protection, several tasks from early morning to evening. More than a decade of planting experience has enabled her to know by hand which vines are to be pressed, which leaves to be picked, and to see the curriculum without having to turn over her phone。
How does 8 kilos of production survive a year
Every year, zhao relian and her husband grow watermelons in their own sheds, with a steady output of 8 kilos and a net income of 10,000 per shed. Young chang's day and night are characterized by high temperatures and long periods of light, high sugar, water content and vitamin content, and the wholesalers in the surrounding townships mostly come in and collect them on their own initiative。
The watermelon is expected to be on the market around the spring festival, just in time for the annual high-volume and high-priced window period. The town agricultural centres helped them to calculate the growth cycle and maturity periods ahead of schedule, moved the planting time back 20 days, and the card was sold out of range so that the watermelons could earn a few cents per pound at the highest price。
A farmer's husband is out making money
After the watermelon was planted, the busiest was in the first three or four months, and after entering the farm, zhao relian would be able to finish the job alone, two or three hours a day. Her husband took advantage of this time to work part-time in the surrounding towns, earning $200 and $300 a day, leaving much to be saved by the end of the year。
One man and the other make money in a shed, and the couple are well accounted for. Zhao relian said that she had had a good year, and that she was already counting on one or two more sheds this winter to expand the area under cultivation. Her husband nodded and said to save more money this year and start work in spring。
It's the same thing as a baby
Zhao relian told the press about the watermelon in the shed and said that it took a lot of time and effort to grow the watermelon in the shed, and that every piece of melon in the shed felt like her own child. Watching the gourd go round every day has a sense of achievement。
She smiled and said she wanted the day to be sweeter than the melon. It's normal, but it's the patience and the care that counts for growing it year after year. There is no slacking in the shed, and one day there is no ventilation, leaves are yellow at night, and the whole of the shed is affected。
Agricultural experts are regularly teaching
Every three weeks, the rural rural integrated service centre in the town of zhu has organized agricultural technicians to enter the shed, crouching in the vines to see if the colour of the leaves is not fat, and to judge whether water should be watered. Zhao relian said that last year's expert said, "you're too early for chicken."。
The town has also developed a technical manual for the cultivation of large-scale watermelons, which sets time and operating standards for each link, from planting to harvesting. The growers in the surrounding villages have come to get the manual, and a short video has been sent online, and the comment section has asked the most about how much water is appropriate。
Anti-season planting causes revenue to double again
In the past few years, the town of fort zhu has been promoting modern facilities for vegetable cultivation, with watermelon as one of the main projects. With the use of the sheds, which rest in other places in the opposite seasons, there is still room to grow, which earns more than a quarter a year, and growers are clearly motivated。
It's very clear that the town has a clear targetAgricultural efficiencyI don't knowFarmers ' revenuesI don't know. The next step is to expand the watermelons to an additional 30 or 40 acres with cold chain storage, and to sell them at a good priceRural revitalizationAnd the villagers live the goal of prosperity。
What kind of seasons do you sell in your sheds? A comment section was useful, so it was sent to relatives who had planted the melon。
