Bai Yaozhong, a 60-year-old villager, proudly introduced that the 2K watermelons planted in the shed were imported from Shouguang, Shandong, which had just been planted in early May this year, and were pure natural watermelons without pesticides. Watermelon is small, thin, watery, sweet, and has an excellent taste. One weighs about 3-4 pounds, has a high sugar content, "is as sweet from the inside out, even the red flesh close to the skin is sweet and silky." ”

In the next shed, workers are busy planting the second batch of seedlings of ice cream melons, mushroom melons. A batch of melons planted in May has been on the market, and the fruits are sweet and delicious, nutritious and popular in the market. After the watermelon and melon are harvested, strawberries will be planted in the greenhouse, and it is estimated that each greenhouse can earn 80,000 yuan a year, which is a considerable benefit.

Who would have thought that the agricultural park that is now in full swing was actually the Fen River beach that had been abandoned for 40 years. In the past, the low terrain and dense waterways led to salinization, which made it unsuitable for cultivation and was abandoned for many years. 43-year-old Deng Wanjie is a native of Jinyuan, after graduating from China Agricultural University, he returned to his hometown to engage in agricultural planting, and founded the Ainong Jinci Modern Agricultural Park. In January of this year, Deng Wanjie began to transform the wasteland.

The large excavator digs deep and rotates the tillage, removes the roots of the reeds, refines the second cleaning, removes all kinds of abandoned construction waste accumulated over the years, and digs a 1-meter-deep drainage ditch at the head of the ground to prevent waterlogging and discharge salinity. At the same time, experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Agriculture and Rural Bureau were invited to the site to test soil, water and fertilizer, and put forward targeted planting suggestions according to the local water and soil conditions, and required all planting varieties not to use pesticides and chemical fertilizers. As a result, Deng Wanjie purchased cow dung, donkey manure and other farmer organic fertilizers to adjust fertility and ensure that high-quality agricultural products were grown. After 5 months of arduous remediation, the barren beach became fertile land, and the melons and fruits finally became fragrant.

In addition, Deng Wanjie reached an agreement with the two village committees and growers: to implement the "special" and "excellent" strategies to create characteristic and high-quality agricultural products. If you want to create characteristic and high-quality agricultural products, you must have your own brand. The development of facility agriculture to build their own brand to lay a good foundation, Deng Wanjie actively explore the "cooperatives + farmers" of "benefit sharing, risk sharing" development model, and gradually realize the "unified seedling, unified management, unified standards, unified sales" standardization, standardized planting methods.

Relying on policy support, Ainong Jinci Modern Agricultural Park strengthens basic industries, strengthens scientific and technological support, further develops and expands the planting area and scale of cooperatives, establishes a number of high-quality and efficient melon and fruit demonstration bases, and makes enough "special" and "excellent" agricultural products to drive the common development of surrounding farmers and villages and towns.
