Although it was already more than 50 years of age people, but he looked very relaxed, unloaded leaf posture, is nothing more than the presence of young people in difficulty. Has now entered the peak period of tobacco purchase, Xiangxi 26735 farmers are beginning to own one after another will be sent to the tobacco leaf collection stations. Fu Yuan Song is just a typical microcosm of them. Tobacco production has not only changed their farming methods, but also to their lives brought real change. Tobacco leaf production for five years a big step Western Hunan is not only beautiful, due to the unique climate and soil and other natural conditions, many of the region is also a good place to grow tobacco. The state has 150 million mu of flue-cured tobacco production potential, the production of tobacco, "elegant fragrance, delicate aroma, compatibility and strong" and "white sand", "Lotus King" Guangdong "Double Happiness" cigarettes, high-quality Ingredients, the market has been in short supply. However, the western Hunan, "old or young, frontier, and poor" situation, restricted tobacco production. Xiangxi kinds of smoke can be traced back the history of the last century, 60's, and begin large-scale kinds of smoke from the early 80s of last century. Xiangxi Tobacco Monopoly Bureau data show that in 2007 the state of the flue-cured tobacco production in less than 340,000 dan, then the income of farmers per mu 1100 yuan per mu 220 kilograms. Fu Yuan Song kinds of tobacco since 2004. "At the beginning I always kinds of bad, I grow tobacco fairly good, but baking is always Guobuleguan.

Tobacco Board in the state funding support, the village began to repair mechanized farming, built canals and other water conservancy facilities, agricultural officers entered his home Dento. Growing conditions are good, and technology can enhance, Fu Yuan The more kinds of loose tobacco as possible, yield and grade were increased. He's getting more and more momentum he built a tobacco room, but also bought a farm machinery and tools. "This is different from Tobacco Board gave a subsidy, a barn only a small portion of the money, machinery and subsidies by 60%." He says with satisfaction. Of tobacco production in 2009 is the development of western Hunan best year, production from 34 million quintals in 2007 to develop by year's 55 million quintals, but also increased to 300 kg per mu is about revenue is expected to farmers will exceed 450 million yuan, income of 1800-2300 yuan per mu, the average income of 20,000 yuan. "5 years, we have the tobacco industry has invested 250 million yuan, comprehensive supporting projects carried out in order to smoke the water, mechanized farming roads, barn-intensive projects such as the main content of the tobacco leaf production infrastructure. Farmers who have high standards and supporting the building of irrigation droughts can be and floods can be a basic Kamada row and improved production conditions. These facilities not only when the lingua franca of kinds of tobacco, did not grow tobacco, the mechanized farming Road, drainage and other agricultural infrastructure, the same convenience for farmers to plant other crops, but also take into account to solve the difficulty in drinking water, the farmers have all praised this is a Huimin project, benevolent works.

Previously, curing tobacco growers are based on the soil drying room to control temperature and humidity depend on the simplest hygrometer, but also must be placed in the upper part of drying room, each must take a look at the temperature climbed up and down the stairs, labor intensity Great. As the drying room of the structure is irrational, Moisture effects of tobacco is not good, affecting the quality of flue-cured tobacco. "Now Well, centralized and unified to build up barn is fully automatic computer control, baking temperature and humidity of the room on the computer can be real-time monitoring. Before an individual can only control a barn, and now here for 50 barn four individuals the possession of it. "Zhang Xuehua said. Modern barn saving labor, but also lower costs. He worked out an account, before baking 0.5 kg of tobacco to the use of coal 1.4-1.5 kg, but now only need to 0.6-0.75 kg. Wang Peng is a professional team mechanized farming tractor-plowing hand, mentioned that he just bought in a tillage machine, seem to have lots to talk about the words: "This machine should be 60005 1000 money, the tobacco companies gave me a 60% subsidy, I spent only 20005. Ever since the tillage machines, turned 10 acres of land as long as 1 day of time. cattle for plowing, 1 day can turn an acre in many varieties. "Murakami's tobacco growers are willing to please him, because with the machine plowing is not only fast, but also low cost, to save 40 yuan per mu. Flower farmers in Europe Road who sur-passed this year the way the land transfer, the contractor has 672 acres of tobacco fields and has become a well-known family of tobacco farmers.

There are eight professional group of peasants for his service. He worked out an account, deducting the cost, he could earn more than 20 million a year. Intensive production of specialized farmers change their production methods. Of them, many people like Zhang Xuehua, as in tobacco production into factories busy season, workers wear overalls, holding a steady salary. ZHANG Xue-hua, said: "I addition to its own kinds of tobacco, so long as there is a need to come here to plant to provide baking services to about 2,000 yuan a month of income, generally do 3 months a year."
