In front of us are patches of paved new soil, which will soon be dressed in green again. In the distant mountains, the roar of excavators echoed. Zhang Qingyou looked at the scenery in front of him and was happy.
Zhang Qingyou, 55, lives in Lidong village, Mianyang Town, Wuhua County. "We have planted land all our life, but we have no choice but to have no labor force. This land shortage has been more than ten years."
"Most of the labor force in the village has gone out. In addition, the plots are fragmented and the efficiency is low. It is a pity that nearly 600 mu of land has been abandoned in the village." Zhang AIFA, Secretary of the Party branch of Lidong village and director of the village committee, said that most fields have lost cultivation for a long time, and the cost of reclamation is huge, which makes people stop.
Abandoned land looks distressing, but who will open it up? Where did the money come from? When it's ready, who will plant it? These problems are difficult problems in front of us. In order to promote the reclamation of abandoned land, Wuhua County has constantly innovated ideas and measures, adopted measures such as partnership reclamation, government enterprise linkage and the implementation of awards and subsidies, guided the people to transfer land and promoted the overall revitalization of the countryside.
The Party branch of Lidong village and the villagers came up with the idea of "joint reclamation", which is a vivid portrayal of the local effective promotion of the rehabilitation and utilization of abandoned land.
"I was deeply impressed. On January 23 last year, it was still raining heavily. We held a villagers' Congress to focus on the remediation of abandoned land." Zhang AIFA said that we explained the rehabilitation policy to the villagers in detail, asking them to "let" the abandoned land out free of charge first, and adopt the mode of "cooperative + joint-stock system" to carry out the rehabilitation of wasteland, which is used to plant silk seedlings and rice.
Previously, Zhang AIFA and village cadres explained the rehabilitation policy to the villagers one by one, called the sages in other villages, and organized villagers to hold many meetings. They hoped that everyone could support the work in the village and reuse the land. This year's spring ploughing season, this matter is finally settled.
To Zhang AIFA's surprise, many villagers participated in the shares on that day. Zhang Qingyou was one of them. "The village established a cooperative and 'issued' shares. Everyone raised funds to resume farming. I immediately supported it and told the village Party Secretary to be the first one to participate in shares." Zhang Qingyou invested 10000 yuan to subscribe for 10 shares at the first time.
It is reported that after these wastelands are collected, they will be uniformly planned by the newly established agricultural cooperatives in the village. At the same time, 1500 shares of 1000 yuan per share will be "issued" to solve the problems of start-up funds and sustainable cultivation of abandoned wastelands. "Shareholders will receive corresponding dividends according to the income every year, and the grain produced by the fields will be supplied to shareholders and villagers according to the cost price." Zhang AIFA said that the wasteland ceded by the villagers has also been uniformly confirmed and recorded, and a five-year free period has been agreed to jointly bear the cost of reclamation. After 5 years, the land lease dividend will be paid according to the situation.
It is worth mentioning that through the cooperative planting of silk, seedling and rice industry, we have promoted the transformation of resources into assets, funds into shares, and farmers into workers, and created a "three gold" model of "working to earn salaries, operating to earn cash, and taking shares to get shares", gradually driving the villagers with labor force to participate in the planting and breeding industry, realizing the mutual promotion and common improvement of collective income and villagers' income.
"Driven by village cadres, the enthusiasm of villagers and villagers to subscribe for shares is quite high. Now the subscription has been basically completed, and the number of subscribers exceeds 200." Zhang Miaozai, head of Lidong village agricultural cooperative, said that with the financial guarantee, the village has reclaimed nearly 300 mu of abandoned land. The cooperative will purchase agricultural machinery, solve water sources and expand Shenzhen Agricultural Products Group Co.Ltd(000061) sales in the future, so as to make the economic benefits more obvious while continuing to promote the reclamation of abandoned land.
