“In the past, there were scattered ‘palm fields’ of different sizes. After the construction of high-standard cotton fields, small fields have turned into large fields, making cotton cultivation more convenient. Whether we can make money this year depends on it. “On March 6, in Kongque Village, Xingping Town, Yuli County, workers were busy laying pipe networks, and villager Liu Benfu was full of expectations.
Walking into Kongque Village, large excavators are leveling the cotton fields. In the past, the cotton fields in Kongque Village were scattered, small, with many ridges, and backward irrigation and drainage facilities. The comprehensive benefits of the cotton fields have always been unsatisfactory. With the construction of high-quality cotton base in Yuli County With the implementation of the project, these scattered low-yielding fields have been transformed into high-standard cotton fields with flat plots, supporting canal networks, and criss-crossing road networks. After the transformation, the cotton yield and quality will also increase.
“I contracted 100 acres of cotton fields in the village. Relying on the country’s good policies, the cotton fields have been leveled and the underground pipe network has been laid. The entire process can be mechanized, saving labor, energy, and water. Liu Benfu praised.
The Yuli County High-quality Cotton Infrastructure Project located in Kongque Village plans to level 5,000 acres of high-standard cotton fields. At present, more than 1,200 acres have been leveled. Who will plant the completed cotton fields has become a new problem? “Peacock Village” The “Two Committees” and the village work team organized villagers to contract land through land auctions. Contractors and villagers signed contracts on the spot, and the land auction price reached between 950 and 1,180 yuan.
“We contracted large pieces of flattened fields to the villagers through the supervision of the village party branch and villagers’ bidding. The guaranteed base price of the land contract was 700 yuan, and the maximum transaction price reached 1,180 yuan, which protected the interests of the villagers. Maximization. After the land is leveled, the extra 23 acres of land will be owned by the village collective, and it can also increase the income of our village collective.” said Liu Luyun, the first secretary of the County Audit Bureau’s “Visiting Huiju” work team in Kongque Village.
In addition to leveling the land, the project also built three supporting systems, fully implemented efficient water conservation and supporting infrastructure construction such as canals, field roads, protective forests, and power grid transformation, and is expected to achieve water conservation. The production volume is 174,000 m3, and the yield of cotton per mu is increased by 60 kilograms. In May this year, the construction of 3,800 mu of high-standard cotton fields will be completed.
“In 2023, Yuli County plans to build 40,000 acres of new high-standard farmland. While maintaining the progress of the project, we will pay close attention to the quality of the project to ensure that the high-standard farmland will be built into a safe farmland that can efficiently increase production and income, and strive to Create a model for high-standard farmland construction across Xinjiang, accelerate the agricultural modernization process, and achieve high-quality economic development.” said Yasen Keyimu, Deputy Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Yuli County Agricultural and Rural Affairs Bureau (Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau).
