If agriculture is to be strong, farmers must be strong.

At present, it is the peak season for the purchase of summer grain, and the State Grain Administration recently issued an emergency notice calling for strict supervision and serious investigation and punishment of "white slips" to grain farmers. The circular pointed out that since the second half of 2014, individual grain management enterprises have violated the state grain purchase policy and issued "white slips" to grain farmers, seriously harming the interests of farmers and affecting the implementation of the central policy of benefiting farmers. Therefore, the State Grain Administration requires all kinds of grain management enterprises to fully implement the grain purchase policy of settling cash from grain farmers and not "making white slips." Self-inspection and self-correction shall be carried out immediately on the payment of grain by the enterprise. if there is any non-payment of grain sales to the peasants, it must be settled immediately.

As early as the 1980s, it happened repeatedly that farmers were given "blank slips". The Farmers' Daily once reported the phenomenon of "white slips" in Hubei and other places with the front page headline of "ten thousand IOUs bring five difficulties", which promoted the relevant departments and localities to pay attention to and solved this problem, which has caused trouble to many farmers. Nearly 30 years have passed, our social wealth has greatly increased, and the market economic system has been much more perfect. Now we can see that some places have reappeared the behavior of "making white slips" to farmers. The author is really sad for what happened to farmers. I am even more angry that "playing white slips" has such a strong "vitality".

Why are farmers repeatedly "marked with blank slips"? Let us not study in detail the rights and wrongs of some grain enterprises in the process of "making white slips" to grain-selling farmers, because a recurrent social phenomenon must have deep-seated social reasons. Through the Internet, we can easily find that the recent media reports of "blank slips" are not uncommon. "white slip" means that the interests of farmers are in arrears and infringement, while daring to default and infringement means contempt and fearlessness. Through the phenomenon of "white slips", we can see that the overall social status of farmers has not been improved over the years, and the market negotiation position and ability of operators have not been significantly enhanced. And these two reasons influence each other for a long time.

If China wants to be strong, agriculture must be strong, while if agriculture is to be strong, farmers must be strong. At present, China is in the middle and later stage of industrialization and the acceleration period of urbanization and informatization, and is in the period of agricultural development transition. This situation determines that China's agriculture not only undertakes its own tasks, but also has a problem of making up, catching up and catching up. Agriculture is not only meeting the people's rigid demand for agricultural products and providing raw materials for industry, but also providing a huge market for industrial products and providing solid and strong support for the development of industrialization and urbanization. The chain of agriculture absorbs the largest number of employed people from field production to processing, trade and services. At present and for quite a long time in the future, agriculture in China is still the largest industry for farmers' employment and an important source of farmers' income. Under the background of the state vigorously promoting the development of modern agriculture, when the peasants become stronger, our agriculture can really become strong, food and food safety can be effectively guaranteed, and the shortcomings in the development of agricultural modernization with Chinese characteristics can be made up. So as to promote the realization of the country's "five modernizations" development.

It is still illustrated by solving the problem of "typing white notes" as an example. Many years ago, the State Grain Administration required all grain purchasing operators to strictly implement the "five desires and five forbids" purchase rules, that is, they should be open to purchase, purchase at any time, and do not bother farmers; they should be fairly determined, measured accurately, and farmers should not be deducted; prices should be set on the basis of quality, high quality and high prices, and farmers should not be harmed; cash settlement should be made, no notes should be made, and farmers should not be calculated; quality services should be provided, problems should be solved, and farmers should not be neglected. The rules can be said to be very meticulous. In recent years, in order to protect farmers' enthusiasm for growing and selling grain, the state and relevant departments have repeatedly issued documents and issued repeated orders demanding that farmers must be paid in time for grain sales, and that they should not be given "blank slips" to ensure their interests. This year's emergency "ban" even requires the central grain enterprises concerned to, in accordance with the requirements of the "three strictures and three practices" of the central authorities, supervise and urge the enterprises directly under them and their renting, warehousing and storage points to strictly implement the national grain purchase policy and take practical measures to strictly standardize the work flow of grain purchase and capital settlement, prevent the occurrence of any form of "blank slips", and effectively protect farmers' interests and enthusiasm for growing grain. Earnestly maintain social stability. These requirements are both up-to-date and strict, but there is no guarantee that this will be the final "ban". In order to solve the problem of "writing white slips", we have to rely on the farmers to be "strong" so that they do not dare to issue them, or they have to pay a great reputation and market price to issue them.

How can farmers become stronger? The author believes that farmers should learn and organize, actively adapt to the characteristics of the development of the market economy in the information age, and join or set up suitable organizations such as farmers' specialized cooperatives on the basis of actively strengthening their own ability. improve the existing social and market status. The state and local governments should support the new agricultural management system to absorb and drive farmers as much as possible, and should encourage more young people with knowledge and ability to join agriculture as new farmers, so that every farmer can better transform his own resource advantages into realistic productive forces under the background of mass entrepreneurship and innovation.

Of course, it will be a long process for farmers to become stronger. At present, it is the peak season for the purchase of summer grain, and the purchase of early rice has also been carried out one after another.In order to avoid "white slips," the most realistic thing is to expect grain administrative departments at all levels and central and local state-owned grain enterprises. we will earnestly understand the spirit of the policy of strengthening farmers and benefiting farmers and rich peasants, implement them in place, safeguard farmers' interests and enthusiasm for growing grain, and enable farmers to benefit from growing grain without losing money.
