Terrain complex machinery is difficult to launch new professional farmers to break

[China Agricultural Machinery Industry News] At present, with the acceleration of industrialization and urbanization, major changes have taken place in the social economy. The rural youth labor force has gone out a lot, and the problems of land reclamation, aging of agriculture, lack of agricultural success, and low production efficiency have become increasingly prominent. In the future, "who will plant the land" and "how to plant the land" are already the real problems before us.

The question of "who is going to plant the land" is actually a question of whether or not to plant the land, whether to plant the land, who will plant the land, and how to plant the land. In the past few years, the central government proposed to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of people and vigorously cultivate new types of professional peasants, which is the key to cracking the dilemma of farming.

Who is planting land today?

Tongliang has 956,500 mu of cultivated land, and the registered agricultural population is 614,500. Among them, the rural labor force is about 390,000, but there are 20 million rural young and middle-aged laborers going out, leaving only 128,800 people engaged in agricultural production in rural areas. Most of them are left-behind old people and women. "Women are over 55 years old, and men over 65 years old are replacing the real young and strong labor force in the countryside." Yang Desheng, deputy director of the district agricultural committee, said that it can be said that a large part of agricultural production in rural areas is non-labor.

Tens of thousands of people can cultivate more than 90,000 mu of land? Yang Desheng said that if mechanization and specialization are high, this is ok. However, the copper geological terrain is complex, the hills are more, and the degree of agricultural mechanization is not high. Except for the land that is transferred out for centralized operation, the rest of the land is still left behind by the elderly and women in a single household, extensive management, and most of the traditional cultivation. crop.

Under the current circumstances, one person cultivates 5 mu of land, which is also the family's land. The cultivated land in the whole area needs at least 160,000 people to plant. At present, the rural labor force is seriously inadequate. The direct consequence of the lack of agricultural labor is the shortage of cultivated land. Land reclamation has led to the failure to fully and effectively utilize land, resulting in low land productivity.

Pulian Street Xinlian Village is a typical karst landform area with more than 2,800 people in the village. Less than one-third of the land is planted at home, and a large amount of land is idle and abandoned. "The people who have the skills are working in the city and buying houses in the city. Nowadays, most of them are old people at home, and they are reluctant to waste their own food." Xinwen Village Party Branch Secretary Chen Wengui said that young adults They all go out to work. If the two couples go out to work, they can earn at least 70,000 yuan a year, which is far higher than the income of farmers.

In 2015, the per capita disposable income of Tongliang rural residents was 13,747 yuan, of which income from agriculture was 2,682.64 yuan, accounting for only 19.5% of disposable income. Low agricultural income, low social status of farmers, and yearning for urban life have led to more capable rural people rushing to cities.

After the "70s", they are reluctant to plant land. The "post-80s" and "post-90s" new-generation peasants will not plant land and generally lack the willingness and skills to engage in agricultural production. This has to be contemplative. In the rural areas after ten or twenty years, after the farmers of six or seventy years old have withdrawn from the farming stage, who will cultivate the land?

Who will plant the land tomorrow?

In order to solve the problem of "who will plant the land", in 2012, the Central No. 1 document clearly stated that it is necessary to vigorously cultivate new professional farmers. In the same year, the Ministry of Agriculture launched a pilot project for the cultivation of new professional farmers in 100 counties across the country. In 2014, the Ministry of Agriculture officially launched a new type of professional farmer cultivation project.

Since 2014, our district has been focusing on cultivating new types of professional farmers. Up to now, more than 2,800 new professional farmers have been trained. This year, 400 production and management professional farmers will be cultivated.

In the path of solving the problem of "who is going to plant the land", it is immediate to cultivate thousands of new professional farmers.

Li Meng, who lives in Dripshui Village, Hufeng Town, is a college graduate who just graduated last year. After learning about the information on the new professional farmer cultivation project in 2015, he resigned from the work of Tongwei Feed Company and returned home to take the initiative to enroll in the new professional farmers. After systematic study, he carried out a “big transformation” of the fish pond that his father had been operating for many years, and used the open space around the fish pond to plant 30 acres of fig trees; optimized the fish breeding, changed the fish culture to water culture, and reduced the cost of breeding; The marketing method changed the single marketing method to the cooperative cooperative system... Li Meng successfully changed the single breeding industry into a modern agricultural demonstration park integrating farming, planting, leisure, sightseeing and fishing.
