Longhu.com News (Reporter Zhang Ling and Wang Mingduo) "The sun blinks at me, and the birds sing to me. I am a new farmer who works hard and is not afraid of hardship. ..." This is "Lao Zhang Calls Me to Check the Field" written and sung by 18 masters from Jiangsu Aijin Agricultural Technology Service Co., Ltd. It is their voice and their life. In the scorching summer, they wear straw hats and rubber shoes, run around the fields, bringing new technologies and new concepts, reducing the use of pesticides and fertilizers, and producing rice that exceeds the European standard... They believe that one day "farmers" will become an enviable profession.
It's not a problem to be tired and wrung out of the toilet.
The author of "Lao Zhang Let Me Check the Field" is Wang Guang, who is one of the earliest "new farmers" who joined Ai Jin. The "Lao Zhang" in the song is their chairman Zhang Shenwei. Wang Guang, who graduated from a master's degree in 2012, originally had a comfortable job from nine to five. However, in July 2014, he chose a "hard road" and joined "Aijin" and became a front-line plant protection worker who had to get up early and go to the ground to check the fields. July to October of each year are the busiest times, and other plant protection personnel, including Wang Guang, have to check the fields at 5 a.m. every day. At that time, Wang Guang was responsible for more than 3,000 acres of farmland alone. He checked it every 5 days. He should detect the disease in a timely manner, issue early warnings, and correctly diagnose and supervise the application of medicine. The rice service was over that time, and the company gave Wang Guang a day off. Unexpectedly, he suddenly relaxed and fainted in the toilet. The examination result was excessive fatigue.
How hot is it to run in the fields in the summer? Aijin's "new farmer" Jin Zhenpeng showed a short video taken by his colleague at that time to Longhu.com reporters - beside the endless rice fields, a shirtless man wearing a straw hat and rubber shoes was twisting the sweat on his clothes. Drops of sweat fell on the ground, and the ground soon became wet. Jin Zhenpeng said that plant protection personnel are "wet" in the fields every day in summer. As a graduate student, in the eyes of people who don’t understand, he is asking for trouble himself, and only he knows why he is working in this job. Jin Zhenpeng said: "I am a rural child who has always watched farmers work hard. When I was a child, I had an idea that through some of our learning development or the development of technology, the labor intensity of modern farmers will be reduced."
Nowadays, with the rise of agricultural social services, more and more highly educated talents choose to go to the countryside and become "new farmers." Jiangsu Aijin Agricultural Technology Service Co., Ltd. has a total of 46 employees, of which 18 are master's graduates. In order to solve the problem of farmers' difficulty in farming, they provide "one-stop nanny service for agricultural production". During the interview, Longhu.com reporters clearly felt that although it is hard to take root in the countryside, sprinkling sweat on the land that needs them can contribute to agricultural production and farmers' income. This group of "new farmers" feel fulfilled, proud and happy from the bottom of their hearts.

"New Farmers" use new concepts and new technologies to change traditional agriculture
From universities to rural areas, from books to world. For the highly educated "new farmers", what needs to be overcome is not only physical fatigue, but also psychological hurdles - not being trusted by farmers is a common problem that this group of "new farmers" encountered at the beginning.
Zou Yan, who came directly to Aijin after leaving the university campus in 2014, told Longhu.com reporters, "At the beginning of 2015, when I went to the fields, the farmers did not trust me very much. After all, they were all old farmers who had planted land for more than ten or twenty years. They had very low trust for us college students who had just come out of school." Zou Yan admitted that this made him very upset. However, after the "ear-neck plague" that occurred in Nanjing rice in 2014 made farmers helpless, Zou Yan and other friends quickly learned about the occurrence conditions and conditions of ear-neck plague and how to prevent it based on the knowledge of the book. Therefore, when the ear-neck plague came again in 2015, they used their professional knowledge to help farmers to reduce the diseases caused by ear-neck plague to less than 10%."Since then, farmers have called us to ask when we will come, and then helped them see the situation in the field. It feels great to be trusted and needed by others!"
such distrust also happened to Wang Jian, who graduated from a master's degree in 2015 and came to work in Aijin. Wang Jian, who is responsible for the prevention and control of rice and wheat pests in Jiangning area, did not do well in the initial work, mainly because farmers did not believe that through Wang Jian's plant protection services, there would be any improvement in grain harvest or quality. However, facts have proved that this group of "new farmers" including Wang Jian can always issue early warnings and provide solutions as soon as pests appear; he can always use the least pesticides to achieve the best prevention and control effect. Under their plant protection services, all farmers' rice testing meets the national green standards or above. Now Wang Jian serves hundreds of acres of land in seven streets in Jiangning area. He hopes that through their services, more and more farmers can produce better rice, and more and more people can eat healthier rice.

"Super European Standard" rice polishes the Su Biao brand "Piaoxiang" nationwide
In addition to "plant protection services", Aijin's "new farmers" are also working hard on their own "one acre and three-point land". By setting high standards and then using standards to force the planting process, this group of "new farmers" planted rice that exceeded European standards in Aijin Rice Garden in Sanyouhu Village, Hengliang Street, Liuhe District, . A reporter from Longhu.com learned that the new "super European standard" rice standard system has superimposed 481 export EU standards, 302 export Japanese standards, 26 international Codex Alimentarius, 48 green standards and 38 pollution-free standards, including a total of 521 rice standards, which is the strictest in history.
In Aijin Rice Garden, Longhu.com reporters saw that the seedlings of Ziyunying in the fallow rice fields had formed a green trend. Jia Bin, a "new farmer" in Aijin, caressed Ziyunying as if he was holding up his own child and told reporters that Ziyunying, as a green manure, can absorb nitrogen in the air at its roots and fix nitrogen in the soil to improve the soil environment. "We use more ecological methods to plant rice, and use healthy cultivation and green plant protection during the planting process to ensure our food security." The reporter learned in the interview that the "Aijin European Standard" rice produced in Aijin Rice Garden is only planted for one season a year, and is a brand rice with quality exceeding the best international standards.
Jia Bin told Longhu.com reporters that Jiangsu is building "Su Biao" rice, and the entire rice industry chain they are making now conforms to the government's policies, and the base model they explore can also be copied to the entire Jiangsu and even the whole country. "We, a group of college graduates, have theoretical knowledge and advanced scientific knowledge, and have a passion for this land. We are willing to bring advanced technology to farmers and the entire agricultural industry. What we are doing now is to make farmers more profitable, make agricultural products better, and make the countryside better."
Nowadays, the "Aijin European Standard" rice is sold at 40 yuan per kilogram, and there is still a shortage of supply. Jia Bin said that they also listed the "Aijin European Standard" rice on multiple e-commerce platforms such as Taobao , "I hope that people across the country can taste our rice, and I also hope that our rice can be 'scented' across the country through the e-commerce platform."
