In mid April, with the strong spring atmosphere, Wan Wanwen, a villager from Gongdao Village, Fudu Town, Wuwei City, Anhui Province, came to his own aquaculture farm early in the morning to feed and bait crayfish fry. During busy breaks, when it comes to retired soldier Yang Shaobo who helped them get rich together, he smiles and constantly praises him. Yang Shaobo is the head of an agricultural company in Wuwei City. After retiring in 2019, he chose to return to his hometown to start his own business and learned rice and shrimp farming techniques. I cannot live without the land that nurtures me. Nowadays, the prospects for rural development are vast. I believe that as long as we maintain the spirit of soldiers who dare to fight and are not afraid of difficulties, we will definitely be able to make a difference When it comes to the original intention of entrepreneurship, Yang Shaobo firmly said. The beginning of everything is difficult. In the early stages of entrepreneurship in 2020, Yang Shaobo faced a series of challenges including a lack of funds, talent, and technology. With the proactive support of the local government, Yang Shaobo established an agricultural company and transferred about 3000 acres of land in Gongdao Village, Shibei Village, and Huangjinba Village in Fudu Town. The company has built 120 high standard rice and shrimp comprehensive planting and breeding fields, over 10000 square meters of lobster seedling breeding greenhouses, and agricultural facility management buildings. Build a good nest, build a good nest, don't worry about not attracting a golden phoenix. Supported by the local government, Yang Shaobo introduced the "South the Taihu Lake Lake No.3" Macrobrachium rosenbergii, which grows fast, has high yield, is large, tastes delicious and has high nutritional value, from the Zhejiang Institute of Freshwater Fisheries, and is very popular in the market. During the breeding process, Yang Shaobo insisted on putting technology first and recruiting talents widely. He led the technical backbone and management team to participate in professional training organized by various levels of provinces and cities, visited and learned advanced breeding experience in other places, and explored the scientific breeding model of "base+research institute+technology"; Invite experts from Anhui Agricultural University and Shanghai Ocean University to provide in-depth guidance in the field, and provide technical support in rice field selection, rice varieties, seedling placement, daily management, and other aspects. After continuous experimentation, Yang Shaobo's team has developed techniques such as lobster breeding and separation, greenhouse temperature controlled early propagation and breeding of shrimp seedlings, and high-yield rice cultivation, achieving the goal of producing 350 kilograms of crayfish, 50 kilograms of Macrobrachium rosenbergii, and 1200 kilograms of rice per mu. With the continuous development and growth of the rice and shrimp industry, Yang Shaobo never forgot to lead his fellow villagers to become rich together. Yang Shaobo provides free technical guidance and teaching of farming experience to nearby aquaculture farmers; Selling rice seeds to farmers at low prices, purchasing rice grains at high prices, and processing them before selling them to the market; Adopting the operation model of "company+base+farmers", providing numerous job opportunities, and driving more than 40 farmers in the surrounding area to increase their income and become prosperous... "Yang Shaobo has feelings, achievements, love, and can endure hardships, and is the 'leader' of rural revitalization," praised Xiao Wei, the mayor of Fudu Town. Not long ago, at the Wuwei City Science and Technology Innovation Leading Industry High Quality Development Conference, Yang Shaobo's company was named one of the "Top Five Agricultural Industrialization Enterprises". In 2024, his Roche Macrobrachium aquaculture technology won the Annual Excellent Science and Technology Achievement Award from the National Aquaculture Technology Promotion Station. Next, we will continue to deepen the high-quality development of integrated rice and shrimp farming, promote the modernization transformation of agriculture, and assist in rural revitalization Speaking of future industrial planning, Yang Shaobo is full of confidence.
