Where is Xitan Village?

Xitan Village of Huaitoutala Town is located in the southwest of Huaitoutala Town, 57 kilometers away from Delingha City and 2 kilometers away from Huaitoutala Town Government. In 2003, Huaitou Tara Farm was handed over and a new village was established. There are 724 people in 3 cooperatives and farmers 174 households, including Mongolians, Tibetans and Hans, among whom Han is the majority. There are 345 laborers in the village, including male 185 and female 160. There are 70 poor households, 300 poor people, poor households 1 1 person, poor population 3 1 person, 2 five-guarantee households and 2 low-guarantee households with 60 people. The village covers an area of 5,000 mu, and the cultivated land area is 266 1 mu. (including 855 mu without canal system and saline-alkali land, and the actual cultivated land area is 1765 mu). Mostly saline-alkali beaches. The main crops are wheat, highland barley, rape and potato, and the planting variety is single. In 2008, the annual gross domestic product (GDP) of the village was 1.32 million yuan. The existing advantages of Xitan Village are: 4 mu of cultivated land per capita, which is convenient for the development of large-scale planting. Secondly, the villagers' residential areas are planned and built neatly by the government. The village looks clean and tidy, with complete water, electricity and roads, which lays a good foundation for the next step of separation of people and animals. In recent years, projects such as road hardening, power grid transformation, afforestation and field passage construction have played a positive role in the construction of new countryside in Xitan Village.

The disadvantages and problems to be solved are that since the establishment of Xitan Village in 2003, the villagers are composed of immigrants from Haidong counties and some farmers from the original farm, with mixed personnel and many poor households. Village collectives have been established for a short time, with weak foundation and difficult management. At present, the primary problem facing the development of Xitan Village is that the aquaculture area has not been built because of the lack of funds and bases. Up to now, the residential areas are inhabited by people and animals, which is messy and brings a lot of inconvenience to farming. Secondly, in order to better develop agriculture, Xitan Village needs to increase irrigation channels 10 km and build 7 field roads and bridges. Finally, with the growth of the village and the increase of population, some villagers who need to separate households have no plots, which leads to more disputes and contradictions in the village.

Future development direction and demand of Xitan village

The future development direction of Xitan Village is the separation of human and livestock, that is, the separation of residential areas and breeding areas. Residential areas have been planned and constructed in a unified way, while aquaculture areas have not been built because of lack of funds and bases. The mixed living of people and animals in residential areas leads to dirty, chaotic and poor conditions, which also restricts the development of aquaculture in Xitan Village. In order to adapt to the development requirements of "one township, one industry, one village, one product", Xitan Village established a breeding association, mainly raising cattle, because the shortage of funds has not yet been officially put into operation. In Xitan Village, the per capita arable land is 4 mu, and the arable land area is relatively sufficient. The village committee plans to introduce excellent crop varieties, implement "less grain and refined grain", and at the same time use the remaining arable land to grow cash crops or forage to develop animal husbandry and promote the economic development of Xitan Village. In order to meet the requirements of building a new socialist countryside and strengthen the infrastructure construction in the village, it is planned to build kindergartens, elderly activity centers and village-level libraries in the village to enrich farmers' spiritual and cultural life.
