The “second generation of vegetables” invested 22 million yuan in building intelligent greenhouses in their hometown

Next to China National Highway 308 in the south of Shouguang City, Weifang, the 120 mu Ruihang family farm is full of vitality. Surprisingly, there are not many workers in such a large farm. The total investment of the farm is 22 million yuan, and there are 11 high standard intelligent greenhouse greenhouses built. The degree of intelligence of the greenhouses is very high, liberating manpower. “Farm manager Zheng Jingqu introduced that at the beginning of the construction of Ruihang Family Farm, according to the whole industry chain thinking plan, packaging, logistics, and vegetable deep processing projects were introduced, connecting the primary, secondary, and tertiary industries. It is reported that Shouguang aims to promote the modernization of agriculture and rural areas to a new level, tilt basic public services towards rural areas, and achieve the goal of “returning” and “retaining” talents, but also “doing well”.

In 2022, the No. 1 central document of the central government proposed to strengthen the construction of talent team for rural revitalization. As the “second generation of vegetables”, Zheng Jingqu, the head of Ruihang Family Farm, can be said to have experienced numerous battles. I used to develop vegetable bases in Shanxi, Anhui, and other places. Now, I am back in Shouguang to develop a family farm, hoping to make the industry bigger and stronger, and contribute to serving rural revitalization. “Zheng Jingqu said that his father was one of the earliest agronomists to go out from Shouguang, and he has been engaged in the vegetable industry for more than ten years. Ruihang Family Farm implements the “three guarantees and six unifications” management model, which includes production, quality, and recycling, unified planning, construction, seedling, management, brand, and sales. We have achieved closed management from production to sales, utilized digital empowerment of the industry, and completed the quality and safety traceability system for the entire industry chain. The outstanding feature is the exploration of the organizational model of ‘Internet management+farms+new professional farmers’, which has achieved intensive, large-scale, and digital efficient operation of farms, “Zheng Jingqu said.

On the farm under the charge of Zheng Jingqu, 36 year old Wang Guowei is definitely a “tiger general” who has contracted 8 greenhouses alone. I used to plant two greenhouses before, but the construction standards are not high. Now, after planting these high standard intelligent greenhouses, I clearly feel my youthful advantage. As a “new type of professional farmer,” he and his wife Peng Feifei feel that although there are more greenhouses under management now, their hearts are clear. We have all used modern equipment such as intelligent blowers, fill lights, pest control lights, pesticide sprayers, and micro irrigation facilities that cannot be used in old sheds. Efficiency has improved, the quality of vegetables has improved, and income has increased

In Shouguang, like Zheng Jingqu and Wang Guowei, “new professional farmers” with culture, knowledge of business and management are constantly emerging. Relying on Shouguang’s industrial advantages, they devote themselves to family farms, a new platform carrier, and come up with a new way of rural revitalization for Common prosperity. The relevant person in charge of Shouguang Agricultural and Rural Bureau said that Ruihang Family Farm is a model family farm in Weifang City and a typical representative of Shouguang Family Farm. The farm has a strong attraction to resources and elements, which has driven the surrounding people to find jobs nearby, and will strive to build a platform carrier and an “engine” of agricultural modernization that will lead to the revitalization of villages and towns.
