Farmer has 'money chest' in the forest

(Baonghean) - After 10 years of planting and caring, 50 hectares of meter forest of Mr. Nguyen Ba Phuong, hamlet 10, Nghia Binh commune (Tan Ky) has been exploited on a large scale. It is estimated that ntodayHe earned about 600 million dong.

The bushes are quite even in the forest of Mr. Nguyen Ba Phuong.

Following the newly opened road with fresh soil, we arrived at the immense forest of Mr. Nguyen Ba Phuong's family, hamlet 10, Nghia Binh commune (Tan Ky).

Mr. Phuong excitedly said: 50 hectares of meter forest is the "money chest" of the family after many years of hard work and accumulation. To open the "money chest", I invested more than 40 million VND, hired an excavator to work continuously for 5 days to open a road to the end of the meter forest, enough for large trucks to load and unload goods.

New path opens to the "money chest".

The entire meter forest is the Ho Tru area of ​​hamlet 10, Nghia Binh commune, before the 1990s it was a dense forest, but was cut down indiscriminately by humans, leading to the forest being depleted. In 2003, he submitted an application to the District Forest Protection Management Board and the local government to contract for forest planting.

Each year, he invests in planting a little, after 6 years, the meter forest is closed. Mr. Phuong said: Meter trees are planted for 7 years before being harvested, so in previous years, he harvested from the bushes planted first, serving the needs of local people. From this year, he has been exploiting on a large scale, so he has to consider professional exploitation and stable consumption. Therefore, all of the more than 20 workers who are setting up a camp on site to exploit meters for themselves are from Thanh Hoa. They accept exploitation, combine output contacts, and consume products.

The newly exploited trees were rushed down from the mountainside.

Thousands of m clumps on the mountainside, each clump has 15 or more trees, each tree is straight and even, with a diameter of 7-12 cm. Workers exploit m, choose trees 2 years old or older to cut, the requirement is to cut close to the root, ensuring that the neighboring trees are not affected, especially protecting the newly grown bamboo shoots. Each day, the exploitation team can harvest 1 thousand m clumps.

Nearly 15 thousand m2 of clumps, this time can exploit over 40 thousand trees, enough quantity for 40 trips of cars, the "3-legged" type to transport. Counting trees and receiving payment at the yard, with an average price of 15,000 VND/tree, so this year Mr. Phuong earned about 600 million VND from this "money chest".

Mr. Nguyen Ba Phuong said that big trees cost 20 thousand VND, the smallest tree costs 10 thousand VND.

Mr. Phuong said: Planting the bamboo shoots to harvest the trees, absolutely do not exploit the bamboo shoots, especially pay attention to grasshoppers that chew the leaves, if you find a nest, spray pesticides immediately. Therefore, during the bamboo shoot growing season, it is necessary to strictly protect and not allow people to exploit the bamboo shoots. The growth characteristic of the bamboo shoots is that they produce bamboo shoots every year, so if you plant them once, you can exploit them for many years. However, during the business process, you need to add fertilizer and hill up the roots to prevent the soil from becoming depleted, the bamboo forest from degenerating for a long time, and to increase the biomass productivity of the bamboo forest.
