Landscape plants

Along the line from Huangzhu village to Chaoyang village, Hekou Township, we can see that on the continuous hillside, there are many landscape plants, such as shrubs and trees, with luxuriant branches and leaves. Within a year, a landscape plant belt with a length of 10 kilometers and an area of 1600 mu has rapidly risen. Wang Weihua, Secretary of the township party committee, said happily: "the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposes to build a" beautiful China ". We should first build a" beautiful new countryside. ". The development of landscape plants not only beautifies the rural environment, but also finds a good channel for farmers to increase their income. " Hekou township is located at the junction of Nanzhang County, Xiangyang City, in the remote mountain area. For a long time, it has been difficult for farmers to increase their income and for village collective economic income. The township party committee realized that only by making full use of land and forest resources, can they bring economic benefits to farmers. Hekou township has sent three groups of personnel to study experience outside the province. After contacting and negotiating with many landscape seedling companies in Zhejiang, Wuhan and other places, the huge market prospect made the township party committee decide to guide farmers to develop landscape plant planting and make the landscape plant industry as the main channel to promote farmers' income. the township adopts the development mode of "company + cooperative + farmer", in which the company provides materials and technology, the farmers use land and labor services as shares, and the income distribution is carried out by the combination of minimum income and profit sharing, so as to minimize the risk. by carrying out the propaganda of "economic account", the township finance gives priority to the full amount of fund subsidies, and the traditional thinking mode of farmers "farming and collecting grain" has quietly changed. In Huangzhu village, Hu Pengju, a villager, successfully transferred more than 100 mu of land to farmers by leasing, planted all landscape seedlings, with an annual income of more than 400000 yuan. Nearly 2 million finished seedlings in the village will be put on the market soon, and the net profit per mu will reach 10000 yuan. In the next step, the township will devote itself to the construction of standardized base, strive to achieve a planting scale of 5000 mu in three years and 10000 mu in five years, build a "green benchmark" of landscape plants in Yichang, and make the green industry the growth pole of rural economy in the new era.
