Before coming to attend the National Two Sessions, the weather gradually warmed up. Li Shiyao would walk around in the strawberry planting shed every day to check the growth of strawberries, record the opinions of the masses, prepare for the more targeted suggestions to be submitted at the upcoming National Two Sessions, and explain the technical points to the villagers to prepare for the production increase this year. "Strawberry is a characteristic industry in the village, and it is also the 'golden fruit' for the villagers to become rich. The management work should not be sloppy."

Li Shiyao is a peasant child who came out of the mountain and a doctor of agriculture after graduation. In 2017, after one year of scientific research in Northwest A&F University, Li Shiyao chose to return to his hometown to start his own business without hesitation, leading his hometown's people to plant land scientifically, and research, demonstrate and promote efficient agricultural technologies and models in mountainous areas.

Just returned to his hometown, Li Shiyao faced a difficult problem - what industry should be developed in the village to drive people to find jobs nearby and generate income To become rich What about?

After much thought, Li Shiyao decided to use the professional knowledge he had learned to lead the villagers to develop the featured and beneficial agriculture in mountainous areas.

After in-depth research and reading a large amount of data, Li Shiyao developed characteristic industries such as watermelon, fresh corn, strawberry, and actively carried out the rotation planting experiment of "strawberry+watermelon", "summer corn+winter wheat" through scientific and technological means such as carefully selecting excellent varieties, innovating planting techniques and models. He led the establishment of the Liupanshui Shanhai Garden Planting Farmers Professional Cooperative, which began to develop in the mode of "cooperatives+family farms+farmers". "The villagers who work here not only have land transfer fees, but also have extra income every day. The economic benefits are considerable."

"We mainly hope to use this base as a platform to test excellent varieties at home and abroad in this place. After the test is successful, we will drive nearby growers and ordinary people to demonstrate and promote. We hope to take them to develop together and screen out high-quality varieties suitable for us in Liupanshui," said Li Shiyao.

At present, the intensive mode of strawberry and watermelon rotation in the Shanhai Garden Planting Cooperative Base has been formed, and a set of ways suitable for Liupanshui mountainous characteristics of "storing grain in the ground, storing grain in technology, and seeking benefits from good varieties and methods" has been preliminarily explored.
