(Baonghean) -Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan, 50 years old, is the village chief of village 3, Binh Son commune (Anh Son district). He was born into a poor farming family. In 2006, he was elected as the village chief by the villagers. He was given Nghe An newspaper by the commune People's Committee, which he often took the time to read after a day's work.
One day, he happened to read in the party newspaper an article about a farmer's comprehensive farm model in a mountainous commune that had high economic efficiency. Relating the article to the actual conditions in the locality, he realized that his hometown still had a lot of potential and advantages, but he did not know how to exploit them effectively.
He discussed with his wife about borrowing money from the bank to rent 3 hectares of the dam to invest in reinforcing the dam body and building a spacious and solid barn system. (The barn system was built right next to the pond to raise pigs and sows to get manure as food for the fish; and to raise ducks and geese.) At first, he bought 100 kg of fish, 50 pigs, 5 sows, 500 laying ducks and geese to raise.
During the process of raising livestock on the farm, he paid more attention to reading newspapers, carefully recording experiences in developing the farm economy from articles to apply to himself. Currently, Mr. Tuan's farm has about 100 pigs and sows, more than 100 laying ducks, meat geese and 2.5 tons of silver carp, grass carp and unharvested birds. His family has both products for sale and self-sufficiency in breeding stock to multiply the herd, reducing costs of buying breeds and limiting the risk of diseases from imported breeds. Mr. Tuan's farm has an average annual income of 100 - 150 million VND, thanks to which he has money to build a spacious house and raise his children to be successful in their studies.
Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan's comprehensive farm.
Seeing the high efficiency of Mr. Tuan's family's livestock farming, many people in the area have come to learn. Currently, in Binh Son commune, there are more than 10 families farming according to Mr. Tuan's model. He said: His mountainous hometown still has a lot of potential for farm development, but due to lack of information, people do not know how to exploit it for economic development. He hopes that all levels and sectors will pay attention to supporting the delivery of press information to the locality and have appropriate propaganda methods so that farmers understand and boldly invest in economic development. For him, since starting a farm, reading newspapers, listening to the radio, and watching TV has become a habit every night.
He excitedly told me: "The change of my family today is thanks to the party newspaper, I owe the newspaper a thank you, today the newspaper's collaborators came, I have the opportunity to ask them to convey my thanks to the newspaper". With his efforts and contributions to his family and society, Nguyen Van Tuan was awarded by the Chairman of the People's Committee of Anh Son district for his achievements in production and business development as a good economic household for many consecutive years.
