Zhou Xianbin from Xinfeng Village of Qik Town founded Honghu Poultry Industry Co., Ltd., which has now become the largest quail breeding base in Heihe City, with fixed assets of 800,000 yuan. The company oversees a poultry breeding cooperative, a quail farm, a quail specialty farmhouse restaurant, and feed processing. After more than ten years of development and expansion, it has formed a one-stop business model of breeding, development, processing, and sales. In 2009, it was awarded the title of practical talent with outstanding contributions in Heihe City. Currently, there are 2,247 types of rural practical talents in the whole county, including agricultural science and technology demonstration households, large-scale planting households, large-scale breeding households, and large-scale agricultural machinery households, playing a positive role in promoting the economic construction of the new countryside in Sunhe County.
Enriching carriers and focusing on guiding various talents to innovate. Sunhe County launched the "Talent Service for New Rural Construction" activity. By organizing science and technology fairs, a service team composed of 56 technical personnel from 13 relevant departments such as the Personnel Bureau, Health Bureau, Education Bureau, Agricultural Committee, Family Planning Bureau, Culture and Sports Bureau, etc., entered towns and villages. Through science and technology consultation, popular science exhibitions, free medical diagnosis, and distribution of information materials, they answered questions related to farmers' production and life on-site, spreading scientific ideas, knowledge, and advanced culture, actively guiding the masses of farmers to adopt scientific, civilized, and healthy lifestyles, providing timely and effective services for agricultural production and farmers' lives.
Optimizing services and paying attention to the promotion of excellence among various talents. Sunhe County emphasizes the role of various talents, encouraging, guiding, and supporting position-based excellence and industry excellence, serving the people at their posts.
