One of the pioneers of this movement is Mr. Tran Van Quang, hamlet 10B. Currently, his farm is more than 6,000 m2 wide.2 develop according to integrated farming methods. |
 |
| The land where he opened his farm was swampy, and farming had not been effective for a long time. Therefore, after 3 years of digging, improving the land, building roads and barns, the capital he spent was more than 1.3 billion VND. |
 |
| Currently, his farm has 2 fish ponds over 2,500 m2 wide.2, nearly 4,000 poultry, 15 goats and 10 pigs. This is considered a diverse and highly effective livestock model in the locality. He also said that, taking advantage of the land area in the home garden, for many years, the family has always maintained more than 5 sao of clean vegetables to supply to neighboring communes. The family's products are ordered and purchased stably by traders, creating a good source of income for him and his wife to continue investing and perfecting their farm. |
 |
| Currently, the entire hamlet 10B has 164 Catholic households, of which more than 90% are purely agricultural households. Here, there are many typical examples of good economic performance with an average income of hundreds of millions of dong, creating jobs for many laborers who are children in the hamlet. |

| At Cau Gang field in hamlet 8, the duck-laying model of Mr. Vo Huu Nho is also a bright spot in the local economy. Currently, the total flock of ducks on his farm is up to 7,000 laying ducks. Thanks to proper care, the ducks have a high rate of laying ducks and lay regularly. Each day, the ducks produce from 3,300 to 3,500 eggs. |

| It is known that Cau Gang land was previously considered the water center of Bao Thanh commune, the muddy and low-lying fields made it impossible for people to cultivate rice and crops. However, after the land consolidation policy, Mr. Nho boldly accepted and contracted nearly 6,900 m2to build a duck farm and hatch eggs. After 3 years of farming, the land of Cau Gang has now changed dramatically. |

| If in the past, the incubation was done manually, now he has boldly invested in 4 incubators, each with a capacity of nearly 2,000 eggs. Currently, each balut egg costs 2,500 VND/egg. Eggs at his incubator are purchased directly by traders, and in addition to neighboring communes, they are also imported to Vinh for sale. Vaccination work is also focused on by Mr. Nho, on average, he carries out 6 vaccinations each year to ensure that the ducks are disease-free. |
