Chapter 282 Unified Implementation Standards

The old man, who had been a farmer all his life, asked nervously: "Chairman, what's wrong with me?"

"A lot of places! Whether it's quality, appearance or other aspects, the quality is average!"

"But I'm here this time just to solve this problem!"

Expert Zhong briefly explained the plans of the Peasant League. Although he tried to be as concise as possible, he still talked for a long time.

A brief summary -

That means selecting better-quality seeds; using more reasonable planting plans, such as companion planting and vegetable rotation; adjusting fertilizer ratios based on soil test results; and growing high-profit vegetables.

Take tomatoes as an example. Most people think today’s tomatoes are not tasty.

this is correct.

Because the current mainstream tomato varieties have undergone great changes, the current varieties are more convenient to transport and have a longer shelf life. They are all those that are picked as green as bananas, transported all the way, and then ripened with ethylene.

It's definitely not as tasty as the previous quality.

However, Zhong Tao mainly engages in catering rather than selling food in the vegetable market. He does not focus on appearance, but more on deliciousness, so he can allow villagers to grow a variety of delicious vegetables that suffer heavy transportation losses and have a short shelf life.

He also doesn't mind offering a higher purchase price for it.

Compared with ordinary farmers, Zhong Tao has a much larger choice of vegetable planting varieties because he owns Taoyuan Village Food Store.

After all, farmers will worry about not being able to sell or the vegetables will rot in their hands... Boss Zhong is not worried about not being able to sell. Even because the customer flow of Taoyuan Village Food Store is very stable, he can even plan in detail how many vegetables are needed every day.

With more quality choices, it is obviously easier to make more money.

It’s not impossible to have all the good varieties in one vegetable variety. I can only say that... agricultural experts are so worried that they don’t know how many brain cells it takes to optimize a new variety. The emergence of every advantageous trait was obtained by using their hair.

In addition, promoting some high-profit varieties of vegetables, such as "cherry tomatoes" such as cherry tomatoes, can directly increase the price of the fruit.

It is worth mentioning that compared to today's large tomatoes, small tomatoes like cherry tomatoes are not only not descendants, but are closer to their ancestors.

Tomatoes are actually small in the beginning.

In pursuit of filling their stomachs, human beings have finally cultivated small tomatoes to the shape of a large round fruit. As a result, they have gone round and round, and have turned back with the development of the economy.

In addition to planning the standards and rules for joining the Peasant League, the chairman repeatedly emphasized one thing at the end -

All produce!

We must strictly abide by the standards of the Agricultural Alliance!

"If any unqualified products are found during random inspections, they will be returned at least, or destroyed at worst! And the individual will bear the losses. I stress again, if it is destroyed due to serious quality problems! The grower will bear all losses!"

Chairman Xiao Zhong has no choice but to be so strict.

Take this 7 cents and 8 pounds of celery as an example.

The pesticide 'chlorpyrifos' used in the celery cultivation process is extremely harmful. After use, the pesticide can remain in the soil for up to a month.

If you eat this excessive amount of celery residue, you will be directly poisoned. Mild poisoning can cause tearing, salivation, sweating, nausea, and headache; moderate poisoning can cause muscle spasms, vomiting, diarrhea, and visual impairment; severe poisoning can cause seizures, unconsciousness, paralysis, lung failure, suffocation, and death.

And even small doses may have adverse effects on the development of fetuses and children!

Therefore, in the news, we often see situations where celery sold for a few yuan is fined tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, because it is really very harmful!

But for a poor old farmer who was fined tens of thousands for selling celery with pesticide residues, can there really be a proper solution?

If you fall into this circle, it will naturally not happen.

But outside of this circle, of course there is!

This is why Zhong Tao wants to implement a unified acceptance standard system for agricultural technical instructors and agricultural alliances!

Some people may also say that if pesticides are so harmful, why are they still used? Isn’t it good for everyone to eat organic, healthy and green food without pesticides?

But the fact is-

The current ability of human beings to eat enough is inseparable from the two major contributors of chemical fertilizers and pesticides!

If you understand how the famine problem has been solved since the founding of the People's Republic of China, you will find that the most direct reason for increasing food production is actually the increase in chemical fertilizer production.

The contribution of pesticides is also significant. Without pesticides, it is no joke that many crops will have reduced or even lost production.

Until humans find a better way to replace pesticides, it is impossible to break away from actual agricultural production.

Moreover, the hazards of pesticides are not completely uncontrollable.

The harm of pesticides is mainly reflected in concentration and time.

Over time, pesticide residues will decrease, until eventually, the toxicity will be reduced to a level that does not cause side effects and is even completely harmless to the body.

But at this level,

Do you expect an old farmer who has never read a book to understand?

He knew that it would be a good idea to buy medicine to fight insects.

Therefore, the position of agricultural technician is very important!

Farming needs guidance, not to mention whether the farming methods passed down from the past can still work now...it is impossible for the ancestors to know the correct way to use 'chlorpyrifos'.

Moreover, after the Agricultural Federation implements unified standards, other agents with low toxicity and high efficiency can be selected.

For example, nicotinic insecticides such as clothianidin and thiamethoxam are used instead of chlorpyrifos, which have low toxicity, small residues, good insect control effects, and are beneficial to plant growth.

Later generations adopted these alternatives and completely banned the use of chlorpyrifos on vegetables.

But if there is no unified implementation of standards, when old farmers encounter insect infestations, they will only go to agricultural product stores to buy "insecticides". How will they know what kind of insecticides are less toxic and more efficient?

How do you know that some pesticides still have residues a month after application?

If you meet a store owner who doesn’t know much about the business but wants to make money, he recommends high-profit products to old farmers...

This kind of thing is really possible.

Chairman Xiao Zhong then once again emphasized to the villagers the importance of adhering to 'unified standards'. This is the bottom line that must be observed after joining the farmers' union system. He also informed that if you encounter a problem, you must not think of solving it casually by yourself.

If you have any questions, call an agricultural technician!

It doesn’t matter if the agricultural technician doesn’t understand, he can shake people up!

Dean Tian always understands!

Even Dean Tian doesn’t understand. He has been doing scientific research for many years, and he always knows his friends and colleagues. He himself always has a mentor... Just shake it up and it’s over!

"That's right! Your village will arrange for a few people to attend a training class. If they pass the training class, they will become vegetable planting technical instructors. About five of them will be sent. The training will take one month. The two who pass will be eliminated and the three who pass will be eliminated. The Peasant League pays wages.”

Patriarch Xu nodded his head excitedly.

It's great to join the Peasants' League. Chairman Xiao Zhong actually arranged work for me.

There are less than 100 households in their village, and the two work stations are already very good. They can send a total of five people for training. If they are eliminated, it can only be said that they did not study well enough, so they should also be eliminated!

After all, Chairman Xiao Zhong said that agricultural safety is very important, and laymen who don’t know how to pretend to understand will harm others and themselves.
