Online sales of agricultural products, agricultural skills, mobile phones became well-deserved "new farm tools". A lotAgricultural technology specialistsGrowing a family, becoming a web anchor, a chain of technology, a chain of production. No, yao fai, secretary-general of the fruit tree growing industry association in jaizhou, hubei province, has also become the anchor for the teaching of agricultural skills at the african network of agricultural sciences。
"i've been working on fruit tree technology for 28 years since 1992. From youth to white hair, i can say, and i'm ready to go on and focus my life on fruit tree technology. The fruit tree study has been my career, and i have found pleasure and achievement in the service, and the value of life — serving others, fulfilling myself." in july of this year, yao fai joined the network and became a well-meaning "private advisor" on the mobile phone of a large number of farmers, driven by responsibilities and missions。

"in agriculture, you have to learn to be a farmer."
Of the 28 years of agricultural support services, yao fai summarized an effective approach to agricultural skills learning: learning from experienced farmers, experts and peers. Learning by doing, reflecting on mistakes, constantly raising professional qualifications by serving the population。
"now i am still learning, always paying attention to fruit tree-related information and technology and constantly updating my mind. Rural guidance has also become part of my daily life. "yo fai plays funny。
The multiplicity of identity labels, such as the secretary-general of the association of fruit tree growing industries of chuzhou city, the director of the fruit tree research unit of the institute of agricultural sciences of tianhui lake, and the specialized agricultural expert hired by hubei radio and television, highlight yao fai's “muck in his leg, in his heart” and his professional skills and strength, as well as his proud testimony to the fact that he has been in the field for 28 years and has been working in the field. To date, yao fai has promoted more than 30 new varieties, produced more than 300 editions of agricultural television programmes, conducted more than 100 on-site instruction and training in agricultural techniques, and directed the construction of more than 1,000 new fruit tree bases and nearly 20 tourist orchards。

The agricultural science and technology institute is the leading agricultural b2b industry internet platform for the development of the agricultural technology knowledge service (aits) platform, which provides online agritechnologies services to a wide range of breeders, farmers, etc., mainly through question-and-answer sessions for agrotechnologists, fine video courses, live online courses, agrotechnologies learning, exchange of experiences, etc. At the agricultural technology school, yao fai's agricultural aids have been refurbished, and in addition to "one-on-one" and "one-on-one" on-line, "pretty video courses" have been gradually tried and live live on-line。
He's been helping farmers with more than 300 "challenges" on the network. At the same time, a live course entitled " the five common problems and responses of sunshine rose grapes " , which was very popular with farmers, produced a series of 11 sections entitled " how to grow the fine sunshine rose grapes for high prices " , which accumulated over 220 minutes and provided grape growers with comprehensive and systematic farming techniques。
"it's not enough to teach farmers to go to the market."
"in fact, agriculture has a very high threshold and is difficult to do, and requires a lot of money, technology and marketing." in the process of agricultural extension, yao fai was most impressed by the fact that many farmers lacked the necessary basic knowledge to begin agricultural development。
"the problem of the difficulty of marketing is immediately revealed when the area under cultivation is too large. I have seen farmers on the market who are smoking and crouching in their shops, and i have seen farmers who can't sell good and delicious agricultural products and who can only look down in tears and fall into the river. "it is painful to have witnessed these yao fai。
He was aware that it was not enough to help farmers technically alone, and that farmers needed to learn how to break into the market. In order for farmers to obtain the best economic benefits, pre-natal seeding, medium-term technology and post-natal marketing are essential。
(technology services and marketing advice for farmers)
In addition to the promotion of new varieties, yao fai provides farmers with technical services and marketing information. " for every new species introduced into the chuzhou region, we will start with testing at the science and technology demonstration garden, pending the technological maturity of the site. When the pilot is successful and the farmers actually see the results, they will request the cultivation spontaneously, and we will provide a unified technical service throughout the planting process and contact the sellers when the produce is on the market, eventually leading to an integrated marketing model for supply and distribution."
With regard to the development of cash crops, yao fai believes that it is best to form a village or even a town, to form a dominant industry, and to grow in size, the larger the industry, the stronger it is, the better it is to really bring wealth to farmers。
Several fruit-farmers in ma jia yiu village, gangeung district, hubei province, planted dozens of acres of vine grapes six years ago, which were generally cost-effective owing to lack of technical support. After learning about the situation, yao fai not only gave them the idea of a new red earth red pi, but also taught them how to grow. The following year, 5,000 red acres produced more than 2,000 pounds at full cost. Other villagers were seen and growing enthusiasm increased. Yao fai mobilized the village's red ti cultivation co-operative, which became a well-known base for the jiang mau hongti, which led to the growth of many poor families throughout the village。

Among the farm friends assisted by yao fai, there are those who have heard his timely advice on pest and disease control to make up for their losses; those who have given advice on the selection of varieties and have earned a lot of money; and those who have no knowledge of agriculture, who have grown up as “small experts” to answer questions, with careful guidance and a series of video courses。
With further knowledge of the network, yao fai has not only taught agricultural skills at the agricultural technology school, but has also recommended that farmers open online shops on the web, that they have direct access to up to 10 million-grade buyers, and that they help farmers to get on the internet express and gain more money。
Yao fai's story is just a microcosm of nearly a thousand agricultural technologists in the agricultural science and technology college of weinon. Experts in agro-technologies who are based in the network include professors, researchers, senior agriculturalists, senior pastoralists and veterinarians from higher education institutions, scientific institutions and industry management throughout the country. Their first heart, as yao fai said, "agriculture promotion, helping farmers to grow science, and when farmers are rich, i have the greatest sense of achievement."
