In order to speed up the pace of enriching the people and strengthening the town, the Party Committee and government of Sunyuan Town, relying on the geographical advantages adjacent to Hongze Lake Farm, vigorously carried out labor export and tried every means to increase farmers' income, which won unanimous praise from the local people. Every year, there are 100 large households in the county contracting land management and planting in Hongze Lake Farm. Due to the shortage of labor, they need a lot of labor to engage in agricultural production. In view of this situation, the town actively communicated with the labor department of Hongze Lake Farm to contact employment matters, thus making the surplus labor force in the town realize the desire of employment at home. Migrant farmers can fertilize the wheat planted by large farmers in spring, raise seedlings and transplant in summer, harvest and dry rice in autumn, clean ditches and soil moisture in winter, and earn money to enrich the people all year round. According to statistics, nearly 4000 people in this town work on farms every year, and the per capita income can reach 4000 yuan.
In 2007, the Planning Map of Dominant Industrial Zones (Zones) of Suqian Green Rice Industry emphasized: focusing on Xugao, Qingyi Lake, Hudong, Sangwei Town and Xiwei, focusing on Chengtou Township, Shitou Village, Chenze Farm, Zhen, Caomiao Township, Zhongyang and Tuyuan in Sihong County, focusing on the development of Yihe high-quality medium-mature japonica rice in Shuyang County. By 20 10, 900,000 mu of standardized green rice production base and 654.38 million mu of organic rice base will be built; We will build 10,000 mu of green rice standardization demonstration zones 10, cultivate green rice industrialization development enterprises 10, integrate and expand 2-3 green rice brands, and realize an output value of 2 billion yuan.
More than 2,000 mu of off-season vegetable base in Sunyuan Town, Sihong County, picking Israeli tomatoes, the yield per mu is about 30,000 Jin, and the net income per mu is about 20,000 yuan. The county has built a special vegetable production base of nearly 1.5 million mu, an economic fruit production base of more than 40,000 mu, a high-quality and efficient fishery breeding area of nearly 1.8 million mu, and a high-quality pollution-free rice base of about 660,000 mu. The county has cultivated 27 famous brands of agricultural products, 7 organic food certifications and 6 1 green food certification.
Crab culture in paddy field
Sunyuan Town, Sihong County, Jiangsu Province, although there is no vast water resources in the hinterland of Hongze Lake, there are 66,000 mu of farmland that can be irrigated in the clear and pure Hongze Lake. The Party Committee and Government of Sunyuan Town are market-oriented, aiming at increasing agricultural efficiency and increasing farmers' income, based on the existing resources and conditions, developing crab farming in rice fields according to local conditions, and leading nearly 50,000 people in Sunyuan Town to create a new road of crab farming in rice fields, enriching the people and strengthening the town.
At first, the town carried out a pilot project of raising crabs in thousands of acres of rice fields in Zhongwa Village, which is close to Hongze Lake and has a long-term basis for raising crabs in rice fields. A large number of farmers, such as Zhu and Liu Zengxi, aged 6 18 in Zhongwa village18 group, contracted 10~20 mu experimental field for raising crabs in rice fields respectively. According to the guidance of the town party committee and government, they feed crabs every other year, reduce stocking density, not only plant high-quality aquatic plants such as Elodea in ponds around rice fields, but also increase the input of animal feed. In 2000, the experiment of raising crabs in Sunyuan Town 1000 mu paddy field was a success, with an average net income of nearly 3,000 yuan per mu.
Animal bait has high nutritional value and is necessary for raising crabs in rice fields. However, at the peak of crab breeding, in the past, we only bought small fish to feed crabs in the retail market, and the supply was not guaranteed. Moreover, you raise the price and I raise the price, which greatly increases the breeding cost and reduces the income of farmers. In order to fundamentally solve the source of animal bait needed for raising crabs and ensure the sustainable development of raising crabs in rice fields, the Party Committee and government of Sunyuan Town introduced "American snails" which are fast-growing, high-yield, low-cost, nutritious and easy to breed, and are more suitable for stocking in rice fields, rivers, ditches, ponds and warehouses. The yield of this snail is as high as 4,000 Jin per mu. When it is raised in paddy fields, it can not only purify water, but also scrape off moss, rot, weed buds and plankton on paddy fields, remove the mucus layer on the mud surface for paddy fields, improve the air permeability of soil, remove weeds and plankton for paddy fields, and promote the growth of rice crabs. The 100 mu "American snail" introduced for trial planting in Sunyuan Town is fresh and tender, and its growth is gratifying. Sunyuan Town will also promote the breeding of "American snails" on a large scale.
Yang Jing rice
In the autumn of 2000, according to Sihong County, where the town is located, the party committee and government of Sunyuan Town believed that there was a broad prospect for expanding the production market of pollution-free rice, and encouraged and supported rice processors to update their machinery and equipment, expand the scale of production and operation, improve product quality, unify their brands, and raise funds from various sources160,000 yuan, with a built-up area 100 mu. Twenty-three economic talents, represented by Shi and Liu Bingfei, purchased complete sets of rice processing equipment with a daily output of 200,000 Jin, such as computer color sorter and rice polisher, at a cost of 1 10,000 yuan per household. The produced Yang Jing brand pollution-free rice is crystal clear in appearance, complete in particles, fragrant after cooking, and the products sell well all over the country. In July, 2003, Yang Jing rice processing base was recognized as "demonstration industrial zone of villages and towns" by Suqian Economic and Trade Commission. In 2003, the community realized operating income of more than 200 million yuan and profits and taxes of more than 654.38+07.2 million yuan. The average annual income of each rice processing household is about 6.5438+million yuan, and more than 600 local surplus laborers are absorbed. Local farmers have also earned considerable income by engaging in the purchase and sale of rice industry. Sunyuan Town Industrial Park was founded in 20 1 1, with a planned area of 500 mu and a built-up area of 300 mu. The industrial park is located in Zhang Tang Village, with Qinglin Road passing through the territory and surrounded by Sun Shi Road and S330, with superior geographical position and convenient transportation. After nearly two years of construction, 50 million yuan has been invested in infrastructure construction, and supporting facilities such as power supply, water supply, telecommunications, radio and television, drainage and sewage treatment have been fully put in place. A number of key projects, such as Kaizhimeng Garment, Haode Industry and Trade, Bainis Mechanical Transmission and Purun Textile, have been introduced into the park one after another, and a standardized factory building10.2 million square meters is under construction, with a total accumulated investment of nearly 500 million yuan, initially forming an industrial cluster led by mechanical processing, textiles and clothing.
