Farmers can also do science

Ms. Dao Thi Xuan Huong, farmer of Phu Yen province is attached to the farmers not only in the garden, rice fields, but also in the laboratory. The scientific investments have helped her to do something that has rarely dared to think by farmers. It is the production of mushroom mushroom spawn right at the central weather conditions.

Ms. Dao Thi Xuan Huong is a farmer with more than 10 years of mushroom cultivation. But now, her hands are familiar with both the computer keyboard, the statistical calculation program, and the list of her friends. There are households in just 6 months collecting tens of millions of VND from growing mushrooms. They all took the same source of moss as her mushroom.

The story of making mushrooms is nothing new in rural areas. Rice straw seems to be turned into a valuable mushroom item. People call them clean meat. In the central provinces, many farmers choose to make mushrooms to solve idle labor, and take advantage of agricultural by-products.

From Phu Yen, Dao Thi Xuan Huong spent money in Hanoi to learn scientists how to make mushroom cultivars. The first two years failed, and in 2004, she succeeded. Up to now, she has established a Mushroom Business Cooperative, supplying about 1.2 tons of seed bags to farmers every week.

Ms. Huong said, there will be a lot of work to be done in mushroom making, which is a stable market, which is the intensive investment for this job . But, Huong's contributions have helped many farmers. change the way of thinking, how to do, have more income. More importantly, Ms. Huong's research and research has proved one thing: Farmers can also do science.
