The research of hybrid peanut obtained 8 patents of 18. What supported farmer Li Xianming?

Suining, Sichuan. Li Xianming, a 67-year-old farmer, once studied seed planting. Curious about why peanuts don't spend, he began to invest 200,000 yuan in peanut seed improvement research from 1994, and borrowed10 million yuan during the period. After 18 years of research, 8 kinds of peanuts have been successfully cultivated and 8 patents have been obtained.

After graduating from junior high school, Mr. Li Xianming became the production team leader and scientific research team leader of the second group of six villages in Xiping Commune from 65438 to 0974 because he loved scientific research. Because of his outstanding work performance, the leader sent him to Mianyang Agricultural School to study seed cultivation for three years. After graduation, Li Xianming happened to meet the opportunity of reform and opening up and decided to go it alone. At that time, he scraped together a few hundred dollars and started selling grain, which made him earn the "first bucket of gold". After more than three years, he earned more than 30,000 yuan, which was already a big income at that time. Li Xianming used the money to buy a truck and began to run transportation. This run is ten years, and it took ten years of hard work to get more than 200,000 profits.

However, Li Xianming has never forgotten that it is still the dream of agricultural scientific research. I asked Mr. Li, "Why did you think of developing peanut?" Li Xianming said with a smile: "I think peanuts are peanuts. Why don't peanuts bloom? " It turned out that with his research on seed culture, he found that the quality of ordinary peanuts was not good enough and the nutritional value was not fully tapped, so he wanted to cultivate a brand-new peanut variety. It took him 18 years to do this. During the research and development of "Flower Peanut", Li Xianming had no income at all. On the contrary, the cost of materials and labor is more than 20 thousand yuan a year, not including the living expenses at home. In Mr. Li Guangming's view, his work has the same mission and significance as Yuan Longping's.

In this regard, the family did not understand, and relatives and neighbors laughed. Li Xianming always stubbornly persisted. After a lot of hardships, he finally cultivated a "natural selenium-enriched series of tourist wonders peanuts" with higher quality than any other peanut products. At the suggestion of professors from Huazhong Agricultural University and Sichuan Agricultural University, Li Xianming successively obtained eight invention patents, and contacted Beijing Institute of Nutrition Sources to compare the quality of "peanuts". The results show that the selenium content is 204 mg/100 g, and it is rich in 65433.
