During the critical period of the growth of Xiong Zhang mushroom, the Qinxian People's Armed Forces Department coordinated agricultural technicians to enter the greenhouse to inspect its growth and guide villagers in scientific management, with a focus on temperature and humidity.

As winter approaches, temperatures in Changzhi, Shanxi Province drop sharply, but the warmth in the greenhouse in Xindian Village, Qin County remains strong. In recent days, the Qinxian People's Armed Forces Department has invited agricultural technicians to come to their homes and provide technical guidance to the villagers. In the past, villagers mainly planted corn and worked hard all year round to earn little money. Nowadays, when planting morel mushrooms, as long as the management is in place, the highest income per mu of land can reach 30000 yuan, which has multiplied the income several times Villager Yang Junjun, while following the guidance of technical personnel to loosen and disinfect the soil, happily talked about his income: "Many villagers have become wealthy by growing morel mushrooms, and their wallets are getting fuller and fuller." Qin County is located in the Taihang Mountains, with many mountains and less land. Yang Fan, the secretary of the village party branch, introduced that in the past, due to outdated technology and extensive management, villagers mainly relied on the weather for farming. In 2021, Changzhi Military Sub district and Xindian Village formed a rural revitalization assistance pair. After multiple investigations and assessments, the military sub district assistance personnel and the village "two committees" team have decided to develop characteristic planting based on existing resources, led by the village collective, using 500000 yuan of rural revitalization assistance funds from Changzhi Military Sub district to develop two greenhouse planting sheds in the early stage, carefully selecting economically efficient mushroom crops for planting, and coordinating with technical experts from Qinxian People's Armed Forces Department for specific assistance and guidance. The daily maintenance of the greenhouse is the responsibility of the poverty-stricken households in this village, with a daily income of nearly 100 yuan. During busy farming periods, more than 30 people are employed every day Yang Fan told me that each greenhouse covers an area of about 2.5 acres, with a yield of about 300 kilograms per acre. Last year alone, the village collective increased its income by 150000 yuan. The development of greenhouse planting not only strengthens the collective economy of the village, but also enables a group of villagers to find employment at their doorstep. In order to increase the added value of the mushroom industry, this year, the military district continues to coordinate funds. In addition to building 5 medium-sized greenhouses for Xindian Village, a new storage cold storage facility has been constructed, and drying equipment has been purchased. Fresh morel mushrooms can be directly dried and processed here after being picked from the greenhouse. At the same time, they also coordinated with their superiors to include morel mushrooms in the province's consumption assistance list, basically improving the integrated industrial chain of "production, supply, storage, and sales". These days are the critical period for the growth and harvest of shiitake mushrooms, and it is necessary to strictly control the temperature and humidity After guiding the cultivation of morel mushrooms, the agricultural technicians went to the nearby bear paw mushroom greenhouse to check the growth. In order to enrich the variety of mushroom crops, they planted a greenhouse of bear paw mushrooms under the guidance of technicians after winter. This mushroom has a short growth cycle, low environmental requirements, high yield, and can be harvested in 45 days. It is suitable for planting during the idle period of morel mushroom greenhouses. Watching the clusters of plump bear paw mushrooms growing well, Yang Fan couldn't help but calculate his income: "The purchase price of 1 kilogram of fresh mushrooms is about 40 yuan. Calculated based on 3 crops of 15000 plants in one greenhouse, the expected income can reach more than 100000 yuan." Thinking of this, Yang Fan felt happy in his heart. (New Society)
