On the 5th, the reporter learned from Haidong citizens and Hui Turk Autonomous County, known as the "East Gate" of Qinghai, that since 2008, the county has promoted the cultivation technology of full film double ridges, and planted "magical crops" with an output of more than 1,000 kilograms per mu in arid mountainous areas.
Minhe County is a large agricultural county in Qinghai and a poverty-stricken county in the country. More than 60% of the county's 632,900 mu of arable land is in arid mountainous areas. "Relying on the sky to eat" has always been a "bottleneck" restricting the high-quality development of the people and agriculture.

In 2008, the county tried to plant thousands of acres of full-film corn, using the full-film double-ridge cultivation technology, planted an unprecedented yield of 700 kilograms of mu, and the average yield per mu increased by more than 1,000 kilograms, which was called "magical crops" by mountain farmers. In 2011, the total grain output of Minhe County ranked first in grain production in Qinghai Province, becoming one of the 200 advanced grain production units commended and rewarded by the State Council.
As of this year, the planting area of full-film corn in Minhe County has stabilized at 300,000 mu, and the total grain output of the county in 2021 will reach 378,500 tons, of which the total output of full-film corn under the influence of continuous drought will reach 145,500 tons, accounting for 38.44% of the county's total grain output.
The change of farming methods has not only brought about a sharp increase in grain production, but also spawned a new model of agricultural and animal husbandry linkage, grass and livestock integration, and circular development.
The whole film corn promoted in pieces has produced a large amount of corn straw, and the use of rich straw resources has led to the development of the aquaculture industry of thousands of households. As of 2021, the county has built 4 forage processing enterprises, 25 forage processing points, 6,058 silage ponds with 664,200 cubic meters, the total amount of forage processing has reached 590,000 tons, and the processing utilization rate of corn straw has reached 58%. There are 1,676 professional cooperatives of various types of farmers in the county, 1,685 large breeding households, 5,829 family ranches, and 38,000 cattle and 280,000 sheep in the county.

The rapid development of the aquaculture industry has greatly solved the organic fertilizer needs of farmers, and a plateau circular agriculture and animal husbandry development model of "grain belt grass, grass to promote grazing, grazing fertilizer, and returning to the field with fertilizer" has consolidated the industrial foundation for rural revitalization.
In recent years, Minhe County has accelerated the adjustment of the agricultural industrial structure, vigorously developed modern agriculture on the plateau, a large number of facility agricultural bases have "broken through the ground", strawberries, ginseng fruits, Ganoderma lucidum, red pine mushrooms, yellow peaches and other characteristic industries from scratch, from excellent to excellent, from excellent to refined, high-quality facilities fruits and vegetables make facility agriculture from scale development to quality and efficiency.
How do agricultural products from the mountains enter the market? Minhe County vigorously develops the e-commerce industry, shortens the time and space distance between agricultural products in the upper district and the urban market with "one network cable", provides a stable and reliable sales channel for the county's high-quality agricultural products, opens up the "mountain road" for agricultural products, enriches the table of urban people, and also promotes farmers' income increase and agricultural transformation and upgrading.
Minhe County has solidly promoted the comprehensive demonstration project of e-commerce into rural areas, taking the Minhe E-commerce Industrial Park as the "core", promoting "one-stop service", improving the e-commerce industry chain, and realizing the normalization of "industrial products going to the countryside and agricultural products entering the city".
As of 2021, the county has built a county e-commerce service center, 22 township e-commerce service stations, 125 village-level e-commerce service points, township e-commerce coverage rate of 100%, village-level e-commerce coverage rate of 40%, the introduction of 12 e-commerce enterprises, beef and mutton, Maying vinegar, Longzhi apples and other more than 20 kinds of people and agricultural products through e-commerce best-selling national market, beef and mutton, native chicken, potatoes, garlic and other more than 50 kinds of agricultural products sold to the Yangtze River Delta region.
By the end of 2021, the county has completed a total of 12 million orders of "industrial products going to the countryside" with a transaction volume of 600 million yuan, and achieved 1.6 million orders of "agricultural products entering the city" with a transaction volume of more than 80 million yuan. At the same time, the rising e-commerce industry has effectively driven the average income of 1751 rural households to increase by more than 4,000 yuan. (End)
