Over the years, he has actively carried out research on new varieties and technologies, carried out technical cooperation with provincial and municipal academies of agricultural sciences and other units, and carried out breeding and selection of crops such as corn, soybeans, and wheat. He has become a well-known grain grower and has won honorary titles such as National Model Worker and National Grain Planter Model.
