Green Treasure Melon Brings the “Emerald” of Wealth

“This year, more than 40 mu of Lvbao cantaloupes were planted, and the yield was also good. The yield per mu was also about 3000 jin, but it was still not enough to sell. The first crop of Lvbao cantaloupes sold about 170000 jin, and earned more than 300000 yuan. Basically, they were directly bought by nearby merchants. The second crop of cantaloupes was relatively small, and the price was also cheap, so the supply was short of demand.” Shen Youtang, head of Panpan Farm, New Market Town, Wuhe County, said.

In the Panpan family farm, lush melon vines grow vigorously, with a refreshing fruity aroma. Melons are hidden among the vine leaves, showing even more vitality under the sunlight.

The melon skin is green, the flesh is crispy and tender, sweet and juicy, and the flesh is like jade. It can be opened with bare hands, chewed sweet, chewed crispy, and smelled fragrant. The delicate aftertaste has a faint taste of rock sugar, and even belt seeds can be eaten. This is the evaluation of the surrounding neighbors and merchants who come to purchase the green treasure cantaloupe on the Panpan family farm, which is also one of the characteristics of oversupply.

Ecological planting to create green and pollution-free agricultural products. Nowadays, people are paying more and more attention to “safety on the tongue”, and the greenhouse fruits and vegetables planted by Shen Youtang are also increasingly recognized by the public. While ensuring the high-quality growth of Lvbao cantaloupe, it is also important to ensure that the public eats healthily and with peace of mind. Panpan Family Farm will recruit 5 workers during the weed growth period to carry out manual weeding for over a month until the seedlings are fully grown. That’s why as soon as you enter the Panpan family farm, you can smell the dense aroma of melons and fruits.

Free technical guidance to help farmers lift themselves out of poverty and become rich. Nowadays, the Panpan Family Farm has a greenhouse covering over 100 acres of land after land transfer. The development of the farm cannot be separated from Shen Youtang’s selfless dedication. In 2015, he led two impoverished households in Wangchang Village, Xinji Town to start greenhouse planting. In 2016, two impoverished households were lifted out of poverty, and now the two families also have over 40 acres of greenhouse, earning around 120000 yuan a year.

The current development is thanks to Shen Youtang’s selfless guidance at that time. At that time, he knew very little about greenhouse planting. He helped us select seeds, manage and protect them, and provided a series of guidance, so that our greenhouse could truly become a source of income for us. “Wang Biaoru, a poverty-stricken household, thanked us.

In recent years, Xinji Town has developed large-scale cultivation of characteristic agricultural products such as melons, fruits, and vegetables, which has driven the income increase of batches of people and comprehensively promoted the development of characteristic industries, helping to revitalize rural areas.
