Economic overview of Yellow Lake Farm

There is a saying that once circulated in Huanghu: "Yellow Lake has three treasures: pheasants, rabbits and thatch." It can be seen that the original desolation and difficult conditions, after the hard work and efforts of several generations of Huanghu people, the farm has It has now developed into a medium-sized and second-level agricultural reclamation enterprise integrating agricultural and forestry planting, high-quality crop seed breeding, special aquatic product breeding, famous and high-quality aquatic product seed breeding, and commercial pig breeding. It is a national-level agricultural high-tech demonstration park, a high-quality aquatic species base in Henan Province, a key cultural relics protection unit in Henan Province, and an ecological demonstration zone in Xinyang City.

In March 1988, the farm carried out its second institutional reform and established three companies: agriculture, breeding services and business. The agricultural company has 7 teams and 12 units in Xigang, brick and tile factories, east and west forest farms and Huanggang branch. The breeding service company has 4 breeding groups in the south, north, middle and west. The commercial company has supply and marketing cooperatives and Yellow Lake Hotel. In 1989, the Huanghu Farm Water Conservancy and Fishery Station was established. In 2000, the water conservancy station merged with the agricultural company. In 2001, there were 1,716 people in the site, including 1,504 agricultural personnel, a total production value of 58.32 million yuan, and a per capita net income of 2,300 yuan. The farm governs three major companies, two farms, and 25 production and operation accounting units, with a total area of ??15,000 acres, including: 6,500 acres of cultivated land, 1,400 acres of fishing water surface, 1,400 acres of lotus seeds, 1,000 acres of Sanshan forest, and 800 acres of fruit land. . The total power of agricultural and forestry machinery is 2210 kilowatts. Agricultural mechanization has been achieved in planting and harvesting.

In 1987, 300 hectares of high-quality, high-yield rice such as "Sixi Nian" and "Yanghu No. 2" were introduced, accounting for 70% of the planting area. In 1989, hybrid rice seed production was carried out on 6.7 hectares, with an average yield of 104 kilograms per mu, ranking first in Xinyang region. In 1991, we cooperated with Hunan to introduce Xianglian, with a yield of 125 kilograms per mu. From October 1993 to April 1994, 1.696 million yuan of construction funds for the Huanghuaihai Agricultural Comprehensive Development Project were introduced to conduct comprehensive management of fields, forests, roads, and canals in the site, and to renovate 63 support canals covering 27.4 kilometers. There are 245 supporting buildings. 66.7 hectares of breeding base for fine varieties and 53.3 hectares of lotus seed base have been built. Purchased 8 agricultural machinery (sets). A farmland network of 666.7 hectares was built, 202,800 "Three-Fir" trees were planted, and 23.3 hectares of chestnut orchards were built. Develop 6.7 hectares of high-yield fish ponds and introduce 160,000 fish seedlings of various types. It basically meets the standards of Tian Cheng Fang, Lin Cheng Wang, connected roads and connected canals. In 1995, the hybrid rice seed production area increased to 33.3 hectares, with a yield of 230 kilograms per mu. Since 1996, it has organized training for 231 people in 7 majors including rice breeding, lotus seed cultivation, agricultural machinery, forest fruit, animal husbandry, veterinary medicine, and freshwater fish farming, and 4 training courses on rice breeding, lotus seed cultivation, forest fruit cultivation, and freshwater fish farming. Promotion of projects.

Huanghu Farm makes full use of its advantages such as its vast land area, fertile soil, concentrated water surface, and rich resources. It insists on focusing on its advantages, targeting market demand, vigorously developing aquaculture, and forming a regional leading industry. The development of aquaculture industry has achieved gratifying results. The first is to use seedling breeding as a breakthrough, increase investment in infrastructure, and expand the annual production scale from the original 200 million fish to 300 million fish, becoming the largest fry breeding base in Henan Province. Second, the structure of high-yield fish ponds has been adjusted to demonstrate high-yield and efficient fisheries, and the high-yield and efficient demonstration breeding model of high-back silver crucian carp mainly raised in ponds has been promoted. Obvious results have been achieved. The output of high-back silver crucian carp per mu is 300 kilograms. Wuchang fish , 200 kilograms of silver carp, the average benefit per mu is more than 1,000 yuan. The third is to further improve the efficiency of breeding, based on the current development status of the aquaculture industry, through scientific, efficient and large-scale adjustments, to achieve an overall plan and implement it in stages. Adjust the single breeding structure to a comprehensive breeding structure to achieve complementarity, mutual benefit, reduce production costs, and improve breeding efficiency. The silver carp and bighead carp breeding pond implements three breeding modes of pig-fish, goose-fish, and sheep-fish according to its own conditions, and grows feed vegetables and grass to form vegetables and grass for raising pigs, geese, and sheep, and manure The ecological cycle of fertilizing fish ponds and pond mud fertilizing fields.

The farm has nearly 5 acres of cultivated land per capita and is rich in rice, wheat, rapeseed, kenaf, fresh fish, cultured silver crucian carp, healthy carp, silver carp, freshwater Baichang, Wuchang fish, silver carp and other information. A high-quality aquatic product, producing more than 5,000 kilograms of high-quality commercial fish. 170 acres of chestnuts have been developed, and more than 100,000 chestnut and ginkgo seedlings have been cultivated.

Huanghu Farm has convenient transportation. The farm is directly connected to the asphalt road of National Highway 312 for 6 kilometers. The market trade is relatively prosperous. There are 9 state-owned stores, 25 individual stores, and 36 stalls. The annual sales volume is 5 million yuan. .

The farm has fully completed the task of reforming state-owned farm taxes and fees, greatly reducing the burden on farmers and workers; it has planned and constructed a new farm street and a market, and the pace of small town construction has continued to accelerate. We will further promote the construction of a new socialist countryside, comprehensively promote biogas construction, implement safe drinking water projects, build new standardized public toilets and garbage pools, and improve related public welfare facilities.

Over the years, Huanghu Farm has based on its resource advantages and has always regarded "ecological agriculture, scientific and technological agriculture, tourism agriculture, and benefit agriculture" as the general direction of development, vigorously adjusted the industrial structure, and followed the path of agricultural industrialization development. , achieved remarkable results. A new economic development pattern has been initially formed with three industrial chains of planting, aquaculture, and animal husbandry, and the Huanghu Hotel in the city serving as the external liaison window. Six major bases have been built, including 300 acres of high-quality aquatic seed breeding, 2,500 acres of high-yield fishery breeding, 15,000 large-scale pig breeding, 1,000 acres of fir forest, 600 acres of flower planting, and 300 acres of agricultural high-tech demonstration. At the same time, social undertakings are developing with each passing day. The 5-kilometer cement road from Huanghu to Quanji was widened and renovated, a 13-kilometer "village-to-village" project was implemented in the site, and the main road in the site was hardened; branch and bucket canals, bridges, culverts, and gates were renovated, and the Chunhe irrigation station was built. ; High and low voltage power transmission and transformation lines and mobile phone communication base stations were erected, and program-controlled telephones, cable TV and Internet services were opened, further improving production and living conditions. It is located next to the former site of the "May 7th Cadre School" in Huanghu Farm, 35 kilometers northeast of Huangchuan County. In April 1969, 1,970 people from organizations directly under the Communist Youth League Central Committee came here, including Hu Yaobang, who was then the first secretary of the Secretariat of the Communist Youth League Central Committee. They were divided into 11 companies. Hu Yaobang was assigned to the first company as the central administrator of the regiment. He lived in three rooms. Next to the office of the first company headquarters, he lived with farm workers Sun Zhifu and Lu Hongzhi, and he formed a deep relationship with them. camaraderie. Later, the company headquarters office was retained as the former site of the "May 7th Cadre School". After arriving at the "May 7th Cadre School", Hu Yaobang and other comrades immediately devoted themselves to the planning and construction of the cadre school. He participated in repairing reservoirs and embankments, and went to the Dabie Mountains 40 kilometers away to pull stones to build the Yuejin Bridge; Raising pigs and fish, he is one of the experts at transplanting rice. In a very difficult natural environment and severe political situation, Hu Yaobang carried forward the fine tradition of hard work and maintained an optimistic spirit. After experiencing heavy physical labor during the day, he still did not relax in his study of Marxism-Leninism. Because he was afraid of disturbing others' rest, he often covered the lantern with a quilt and lay on the bed to study. Later, when Hu Yaobang met with comrades from the "May 7th Cadre School" in Huanghu, he recalled fondly: His systematic study of Marxist-Leninist works was completed at the "May 7th Cadre School" in Huanghu. He also encouraged young cadres such as Hu Qili and Wu Shaozu to strengthen their studies. At the end of 1972, Hu Yaobang returned to Beijing and successively served as director of the Central Organization Department, director of the Propaganda Department, and general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and other important leadership positions in the party and the country. Hu Yaobang's former residence is a brick-and-tile bungalow with three bedrooms, covering an area of ??50 square meters. The interior displays more than 20 daily necessities such as tables, chairs, beds, quilts, tea bottles, tea cups, and lanterns used by Hu Yaobang in the cadre school. There are more than 10 pieces of labor supplies such as shovels and trowels. The items are neatly arranged, and some precious items are stored in special display cabinets. In 2000, it was approved by the Henan Provincial People's Government as a provincial key cultural relics protection unit. Hu Yaobang's former residence is connected with the adjacent Thousand Mu Lotus Seed Base of Yellow Lake, Thousand Mu Ecological Public Welfare Forest, Science and Technology Sightseeing, Agriculture and Ecological Tourism. It has formed a series of tourist hotspots with tourist attractions such as the Btaji Flower and Tree Ecological Tour located 10 kilometers south of Huangchuan County, the Huangchuan Revolutionary Site Tour, and the Huangguo Ancient City Scenic Spots Tour 5 kilometers west of Huangchuan County.

Currently, the Huangchuan County Government is promoting the integration of cadre school cultural resources and building the "May 7th Cadre School" Memorial Hall of the Huanghu Farm League Central Committee.

To visit Hu Yaobang’s former residence, you can take a train from Beijing-Kowloon Railway or Ningxi Railway and get off at Huangchuan Station, or you can take a bus along National Highway 106 or National Highway 312 to Huangchuan County, and then take Huangchuan to Huanghu can be reached by bus or car, and the transportation is convenient. Sanshan Public Welfare Forest is the ecological forest demonstration base of Huanghu Farm. The species are metasequoia, pond fir, and bald cypress. The forest area is 3,000 acres, with 450,000 fir trees planted.

The forestland was first established in 1989. Fast-growing varieties of pond cedar and bald cypress were introduced from North America, and metasequoia, a specialty product of China and a living fossil in the botanical world, was introduced from Sichuan. The main trunk of Metasequoia is tall and straight, with side branches extending horizontally. The whole tree is pagoda-shaped. The leaves are flat, slightly needle-shaped, arranged in a pinnate shape, soft and elegant. The colors of the four seasons are different. It is green in spring and summer, golden in autumn, and brown in early winter. It is extremely beautiful.

Sanshan Public Welfare Forest is located in the northeast of Huanghu Farm, at the intersection of Spring River and Bailu River. The soil here is fertile and the water is abundant, suitable for tree growth. The average height of standing trees in the forest is 9 meters, the average diameter at breast height is 14 centimeters, and the wood storage volume is 9,000 cubic meters. The trees in the forest are straight and beautiful, arranged in vertical columns and horizontal rows, like a huge "tower forest". The forest is cool, quiet and has fresh air. It is a natural oxygen bar. The forest area has a good ecological environment and is a paradise for wild birds and animals, including more than 20 species of wild birds such as pheasants and turtle doves; more than 10 species of wild animals such as hares and roe deer; and more than 20 species of wild fungi such as straw mushrooms and mushrooms. . Relying on the Sanshan Public Welfare Forest, a farmland forest network of 12,000 acres has been built and completed, initially forming a forestry ecological system and a developed forestry industry system that combines points, patches, networks, and belts. Huanghu Lotus Seed Production Base integrates lotus seed planting, series food processing and lotus pond viewing. The planting base is 3,000 acres, and the main varieties are high-quality hybrid Xianglian No. 4 and Cun Sanbailian imported from Hunan. The base relies on the agricultural industrialization production model of "company + base + farmers" and introduces advanced processing production lines from Germany to produce a series of lotus seed products. The product combines traditional craftsmanship with modern science and technology, and adopts a unique production process to maintain the green quality of lotus seeds. Every summer, the 3,000 acres of lotus ponds are filled with blooming lotus flowers, which are brightly colored and beautiful against the dark green lotus leaves. When admiring lotuses in the rain, you can see the raindrops rolling on the lotus leaves like pearls in the green jade plate, forming a wonderful interesting lotus pond.
