Time flies, time flies.

　　 With the great changes of the times, the farms in the Yellow Flooding Area of ​​Henan Province have gone through 55 years of arduous and extraordinary development. In 55 years, the road has been ruined and dusty, and in 55 years, it was a flick of a finger.

Over the past 55 years, through the joint efforts of several generations of farmers, farms in the Yellow River flooding area have grown from nothing, from small to large, from weak to strong, and have developed into a land area of ​​98 square kilometers, 102,000 mu of arable land, and a total population of 3.02. Ten thousand people, 15,000 employees, under the jurisdiction of 28 administrative institutions, 1 regiment-level armed department, more than 1,200 individual industrial and commercial households and private enterprises, and 13 large-scale provincial first-class units in Zhoukou City and Xihua County State-owned farming enterprises. A small town with a beautiful environment, fresh air, complete infrastructure, and complete service functions, which is most suitable for people to live and even for leisure and sightseeing, has initially appeared in front of people.

　　 55 years of long journey, 55 years of arduous struggle, 55 years of trials and hardships, 55 years of great changes in rivers and rivers.

The vicissitudes of the yellow flooding area is facing the green plains with abundant grains and lush forests and the new look of the yellow flooding area full of vitality. Who will believe that this is the desolate yellow flooding area of ​​the past? Naturally, people will not forget it. The past of the Yellow River flooding area, the history of the Yellow River flooding area will be engraved in the hearts of the people of the Yellow River flooding area...

In June 1938, after the Japanese invaders occupied Kaifeng, a major town in eastern Henan, they marched westward and threatened Zhengzhou and Wuchang. Using water as an excuse to stop the Japanese army, the Nationalist government brazenly blasted the Yellow River embankment at Huayuankou in Zhengzhou. The surging yellow water swept away thousands of miles, and the vast plain became a country of Zee. 893,000 people died in Huangquan and 12 million people were displaced in 44 counties in Henan, Anhui, and Jiangsu provinces. By 1946, the Yellow River was closed, and the Yellow River was flooded for 8 years. In the past eight years, there have been years of famines and starvation in the east of Henan Province, and the "Yellow Flooding Area" of 54,000 square kilometers has been artificially created.

"Yellow flood zone", a symbol of shame.

"Yellow flood zone", synonymous with suffering.

"Without a hundred miles of smoke, only the yellow sand rushes into the empty city, the fox and rabbit run in the wild grass without a path, and the reed frog crows in Zeguo", this is the true portrayal of the yellowish flooded area after the disaster.

After the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the party and government attached great importance to the reclamation of the Yellow River flooded area. In February 1950, the central government established the Huangfan District Rejuvenation Committee and set up an office in Kaifeng, the provincial capital of Henan Province, the Huangfan District Rejuvenation Bureau. The state allocated special funds to start the "rejuvenation" movement for the benefit of future generations.

The rejuvenation work has achieved great results and won the praise of Premier Zhou Enlai. Zhou Enlai instructed after listening to the report on the revival: the end of the revival work, the land can be distributed to farmers by households, there are too many land and few people, and the farmers can’t be divided. Can a large farm be built in the Yellow River flooding area? So the care of the central government and the Henan Provincial Government After a short period of preparation, in January 1951, the Yellow River flooded area farm was formally established.

The farm in the Yellow River floodplain was born. This land full of cattail grass and wormwood was awakened by a group of pioneers who were fighting against the sky and daring to fight. With the support of the party and the people, the 194 pioneers gathered from all sides of the motherland in the Yellow River flooded area, kicked off the prelude to working hard and conquering the wasteland. At that time, there were no ridges and no houses, and the living and working environment was very difficult. "A cup of tea and half a cup of mud, thin noodle soup in the bottom of the sand plate. There is no shelter from the cold in winter, and no shelter in summer." This is what the team members lived at that time. Portrayal. However, hardships and hardships cannot frighten the brave and fearless reclamation team members. They live as a house, live as a bed, live in a hayloft, burn reeds, carry forward the spirit of Nanniwan, rely on a few old machines, a few marching pots, and fight against the sand. Sowing autumn seeds, using diligent hands to open up a fertile ground, and using his youth to write a earth-shattering picture.

In May 1951, the farm in the Yellow River flooded area ushered in the first mechanized harvesting season after the construction of the farm. The manpower and material resources of the whole farm were concentrated on the harvesting battle. That year 1.76 million catties of wheat were all harvested and put into warehouses. The average yield per mu is 210 jin, nearly twice that of the surrounding villagers.

Recalling the tragic years of the past, history will not forget, and the Republic will not forget. In the boiling hot land of the Yellow River flooded area, batches of outstanding farmers have used their ingenuity to develop, create, and consolidate the new state-owned mechanization. The farm uses the spirit of self-reliance and hard work to create the glory of the Yellow River flooding area. In 1965, the farm in the Yellow River flooded area was named one of the eight model farms in the country by the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation, and was known as the "Pearl of the Central Plains".

Reform and innovation "Pearl of the Central Plains" reappears the glorious Yellow River water that records the joys and sorrows of the children in the Yellow River flooding area, and also witnesses the reform and opening up of the Central Plains today.

On the 98 square kilometers of the hot land of farms in the Yellow River flooded area, groups of outstanding farmers rely on the spirit of self-reliance and hard work in the land to create the immortal glory of the Yellow River flooded area. However, due to poor natural conditions, several changes of affiliation, insufficient investment and overburden, especially after entering the 1990s, the country’s social and economic system has undergone significant changes, and the farm in the Yellow River flooding area is a typical “old brand”. Large state-owned enterprises, the rigidity of systems and mechanisms brought about by the inertia of the long-term planned economic system, and the self-enclosure and conservativeness caused by the self-contained social ecology have left many glorious farms in the Yellow River flooding area behind the tide of market economy. A state of decline is increasingly appearing. By the end of 1997, the entire loss had reached 24.48 million yuan.

The farm in the Huangfan District, with more than 10,000 employees, is on the verge of being difficult to survive!

What to do? Where is the way out for the pan-regional people? How to save this ill-fated large state-owned farming enterprise?

In September 1997, a new leadership team was established. In the face of numerous difficulties, they are determined to gradually deepen reforms to change the backwardness of the farms, and use broader, deeper, and more powerful reforms to rejuvenate farms in the Yellow River flooded area.

The party and government team of the farm in the Huangfan District uses the "three benefits" as the standard, abandons the staleness, reforms and innovates, strives hard, keeps pace with the times, seeks survival through reform, seeks development through reform, and uses reform to solve the problems encountered in progress. They focused on implementing the land lease system, deepening the reform of the agricultural system, focusing on the reform of the shareholding system, deepening the reform of chemical companies and enterprises, focusing on the form of private office assistance, deepening the reform of the education and medical system, and streamlining institutions and introducing Responsibilities, powers, and benefits should be based on the corresponding mechanism to deepen the reform of government agencies and administrative institutions. Among the reforms, the most complex and arduous is the reform of the agricultural system based on the land lease system. The farms in the Huangfan District began to implement the family land contract system in 1984. Since 1997, the basic policies of "two self-care", "four households", and "six unifications" have been gradually implemented. In 2002, the farms made every effort to promote the land lease system. The main content is that the field-owned land is divided into three types: social security fields (employee status fields), leased fields, and life security fields. Social security land is where employees raise social security fees in the form of planting land. The growers are required to engage in efficient planting according to the plan. The leased field is set up in accordance with the principle of conducive to unified planning and layout and the advantages of machinery, technology, capital and resources, and is mainly engaged in the production of high-quality seeds. The land lease system has realized the fundamental transformation of the general farm from operating to asset management in agriculture, and the entire farm has achieved a historic breakthrough in agricultural production.

The reform of the industrial and commercial enterprises is mainly based on the reform of the shareholding system and gradually move towards modern company management and operation. In 1998, the farm carried out a drastic restructuring of industrial and commercial enterprises. Among the 23 enterprises owned by the farm, 3 were directly formed as limited liability companies, 2 were leased, 8 were bankrupt, and 10 were merged. In 2002, the farm again took property rights replacement, capital increase and share expansion as the starting point. Based on the principles of reducing the share of state-owned shares, holding large shares by managers, and increasing the share of natural persons, the farm has a limited liability for Dishen Seed Industry Co., Ltd. and Tianying Cylinder Liner. The company, Xinxin Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd., and Luyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. underwent the second restructuring. The asset-liability structure of the enterprise has improved, the burden has been reduced, the sense of responsibility of the operators has been significantly enhanced, and the production and operation have shown a good momentum.

By 2005, the entire farm had achieved a gross national product of 21.920 million yuan, a total social output value of 560.2 million yuan, a total agricultural output value of 160.6 million yuan, a total industrial output value of 104.34 million yuan, commercial sales of 50.43 million yuan, and 61,835 live pigs. 100264 heads of slaughter, 10500 heads of breeding pigs were sold, and the degree of agricultural mechanization reached more than 98%.

The farm in Huangfan District has been rated as the National Agricultural Advanced Collective for many times, and has been awarded by the State Council. In 2000, it was identified as the leading enterprise in agricultural industrialization by the Henan Provincial People's Government. In May 2004, it was awarded the "National May 1st Labor Award".

After the wind and rain, the mountains are more beautiful, and the flowers are more red after the wind and frost. Today’s farms in the Yellow River flooding area are developing rapidly through the idea of ​​“planting and raising costs, industrial breakthroughs, technological leadership, management efficiency, optimizing structure, encouraging innovation, activating circulation, and increasing the total amount”. Enterprise" makes the "Pearl of the Central Plains" add more brilliance.

Planting demonstration, science and technology first, the Yellow River flooding area, as a national "seed engineering" base, is responsible for the development, trial planting and promotion of new varieties of cotton, grain and oil all year round.

The cotton area of ​​the whole field stabilized at around 80,000 mu. It has successively explored the advanced experience of intercropping with grain and cotton, staged fertilization of cotton, treatment of insects at the egg stage of cotton, and fast hand-picking of cotton, etc., and took the lead in the implementation of mulching cotton. In 1985, the national cotton regional experiment undertaken by the Agricultural Science Research Institute of the Yellow River Flooded Area won the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award.

The cotton seed production of the farms in the Yellow River flood area started early and has a large scale. It has always been the main cotton seed production base in the surrounding areas. It has successively demonstrated and promoted more than 70 excellent varieties such as Lumian No. 1 and Jimian No. 8. It was designated by the state in 2000. "High-quality cotton production base".
