Land is a non-renewable resource. With the development and utilization of modern society and planned relocation, it is necessary to comprehensively rectify fields, water, roads, forests and villages in order to improve the land utilization rate and production and living conditions, increase the available land area and improve the land utilization rate and output rate. The land department of Jiyang raised funds in many ways and creatively carried out land development and consolidation. In the past eight years, the county has completed 44 land development and consolidation projects160,000 mu of land, and added 50,000 mu of cultivated land; At present, there are 23 projects under construction, 23,000 mu of land has been developed and consolidated, and 5,475 mu of cultivated land can be added. After land development and consolidation, the total amount of new cultivated land in the county reached 55,000 mu.
The land consolidation project area of Jiyang Town-Cuizhai Town included in the project covers a total area of 5,598 mu. Before development and consolidation, low-lying land was overgrown with weeds, sewage was cross-flowing, and drought and waterlogging of sporadic cultivated land could not be guaranteed. Since April 2004, the land department of Jiyang County has started to fill pits and ponds, demolish old houses and level graves. After eight months, the land became flat and fertile, and the road was solid and flat. Land development and consolidation has expanded the construction land space of the county. As the first pilot county in the province to replace the construction land index,
The county replaced the construction land index with 680 mu of land, which provided resource guarantee for the construction land of Jiyang County Thermal Power Plant, a key project.
Water is the blood of the earth. Land consolidation should make "blood" flow smoothly. Jiyang County borders the Yellow River in the south and Tu Hai in the north. They use the Yellow River for gravity irrigation in areas with good irrigation conditions, focusing on building pumping stations, clearing ditches, building bridges and sluices, and dredging rivers. In water-poor areas with poor irrigation conditions and relying on the weather for food, wells are drilled to fight drought according to the standard of one well per 70 mu of land, and ponds are dug to carry fields in particularly low-lying places to build reservoirs. In order to save water, land and irrigation time, all canals have been built watertight canals. Qu Di town Dakui, Sun Jia and other villages 1 1 villagers who have not been able to drink sweet water for a long time laughed, and farmers who finally used cheap water to irrigate their land were also happy.
Fields are the lifeblood of farmers and the foundation of human survival. Jiyang County is re-arranged from the perspective of land saving, mechanized operation and large-scale planting, with every 1200 square meter as a standard, and all plots are unified. In the construction of road network, in order to facilitate people's production and life, field roads are built in villages and production roads are laid in square fields; All pavements unsuitable for mud-bound macadam are hardened with asphalt, making it the first county in the province to harden field roads. This experience has been popularized in the whole province.
