Shi Xuejun from 1995 began to engage in the logistics industry. 10 years ago, he began to devote himself to modern agriculture, and in Changshan Township, Yan Village transfer of land, set up the eight ecological family farm. Subsequently, it started by growing grain, gradually expanded vegetables, and began to plant pear trees in 2017. "To improve the quality of fruit, organic fertilizer is indispensable. So, the idea was to breed livestock and poultry and produce organic fertilizer by yourself." Shi Xuejun said.
At the same time as the development of the pear orchard, Shi Xuejun also has a new breeding duck farm. He said that in order to ensure the hatchability of eggs and the quality of ducklings, the feed is strictly controlled to ensure that the heavy metal content does not exceed the standard. This also ensures the quality of duck manure, planted out of the agricultural products safer and more assured.
In the breeding of ducks, eight ecological family farms using fermented bed farming technology: breeding process, every month to the duck house floor a layer of rice husk and microbial fungicides, a good solution to the problem of duck manure treatment. According to Changshan Township Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Station Director Zhao Shoushan, rice hulls have a strong water absorption capacity, the use of rice hulls as bedding can be avoided to produce fecal water. In addition, through the fermentation effect of microbial bacterial agents, manure in the fermentation bed to complete fermentation quickly, avoiding the production of odor. The adoption of this breeding technology ensures a dry breeding environment and reduces the chance of breeding duck diseases.
At present, eight ecological family farm breeding ducks stock nearly 100,000, duck manure are all used for family farming of fruit trees, vegetables and grain cultivation. The farm also built its own organic fertilizer ecological fermentation workshop, for grain, fruit and vegetable green production provides a reliable quality of organic fertilizer. At present, the average annual application of organic fertilizer per mu of fruit trees exceeds 8 cubic meters.
In order to improve the quality of pears, the farm also adopted the orchard grass, net frame cultivation and other new technologies, not only to improve the ecological environment of the orchard, enhance the quality of fruit, but also to facilitate the mechanization of operations, greatly saving labor.
In recent years, the planting and raising ecological cycle mode has become the characteristics of the eight ecological family farms. 2021 and 2022, the farm also undertook the Zouping City green planting and raising cycle agriculture pilot project. Through the combination of planting and raising, comprehensive utilization of livestock and poultry manure and organic fertilizer to replace chemical fertilizer technology, to achieve the promotion of chemical fertilizer to reduce the amount of efficiency, organic fertilizer resource utilization, product quality enhancement, soil quality enhancement, for the development of modern agriculture in the local area to make a useful exploration and demonstration.
Due to the superior soil environment, cultivation and management measures of science, the farm planted pears fruit shape symmetrical and beautiful, good taste, strong antioxidant, specially registered "eight honey pear" brand, and get green certification.
At present, eight ecological family farm covers an area of more than 2700 acres, of which more than 1800 acres of food crops, fruit 700 acres, 200 acres of vegetables, the formation of food feeding ducks, duck manure fertilizer field cycle of agricultural chain. In food production, the farm continues to introduce new varieties for experimental demonstration, while constantly integrating a number of grain green high-quality and efficient production technology, and gradually become a set of grain production, facilities for agriculture, farmer training in one of the comprehensive experimental demonstration base. Last November, Binzhou City Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs announced the first batch of Binzhou City ecological farm list, eight ecological family farm list.
