Straw burning depends on the market

Every summer harvest, all localities have to deal with the straw burning "big test". This year, although there is a ban on burning everywhere, there is still a lot of smoke in some places, and the PM2.5 index has hit the charts.

Meteorological satellite monitoring shows that straw burning in major summer grain harvest areas across the country in June this year is lower than that in last year, but straw burning is still serious in some provinces.

Reading the word "ban" well is the common experience in dealing with straw burning in various places. In addition to issuing pamphlets and slogans in the early stage, during the period of high incidence of straw burning, various localities organized anti-burning teams to inspect and inspect, and many departments were responsible for the inspection. Town and village cadres also formed inspection groups to ban straw burning and inspected the fields.

Administrative measures to strengthen supervision have indeed achieved certain results in several major grain-producing provinces, but in the long run, this can only cure the symptoms. On the one hand, this method requires a lot of manpower and material resources, the supervision cost is too high, and there is always a gap between thousands and thousands of blockages. Farmers take advantage of loopholes to burn straw, which is difficult to prevent, and improper handling is also easy to intensify the contradiction between cadres and the masses.

In order to find the cure, it is necessary to analyze the root causes of straw burning. In order to seize the time for farming, farmers need to quickly deal with the straw, a fire to burn the most time-saving and labor-saving, burning is of course the first choice.

In fact, in today's mechanized operation, returning straw to the field is not only convenient, but also has the function of increasing fertilizer, improving soil and preserving soil moisture. Why do some farmers prefer incineration treatment? Because in the view of farmers, adding a shredder to the harvester not only affects the progress of the harvest, but also increases the cost of the harvest. Farmers are unwilling to do business that loses money.

There is also a way to turn straw into treasure and sell it to fertilizer plants or purchasers. But there are also many farmers do not buy it, generally a ton of straw purchase price of more than 200 yuan, farmers think that straw finishing is not as good as odd jobs to earn more, so they are not willing to do. In this way, "wealth" is either wasted or burned, and enterprises are not full of straw "gold mine".

Farmers do not buy it because it is not cost-effective, because the market does not play a good role. In order to cure the pollution caused by straw burning, it is necessary to read the "Market Classic".

First of all, professional people should be allowed to do professional things. Cultivate a few brokers in rural areas to link up the fields with the market. In some places, brokers clear straw for farmers free of charge, get it for free, and then sell it to feed or paper companies, earning tens of thousands of yuan a summer. When the use of straw is turned into a profitable "business" for farmers, brokers and enterprises, farmers naturally do not have to burn straw.

Second, small books are included in big bills. Farmers have the willingness to return straw to the field because it can effectively increase soil fertility and help to increase crop production. However, if the farmers do not have much land and cannot produce economies of scale, then this extra cost will become a burden. If the government subsidizes professional cooperatives and allows them to give full play to their organizational role, expand scale operation and unify operations, they will be able to bring small accounts into big bills one by one, so that benefits will be improved and costs will be reduced. straw returning will change from passive to active.

In addition, take the price as the lever and take the straw recycling as the point of increasing farmers' income. On the one hand, we can encourage straw recycling through policies to prevent operating companies from lowering prices and dampen the enthusiasm of farmers; on the other hand, it is also necessary to give subsidies or tax relief to enterprises engaged in straw recycling, or technical support and innovation encouragement, so that enterprises can further broaden the channels of straw recycling and benefit more farmers. In addition, we also need to further improve the comprehensive utilization technology of straw, so that straw produces more added value, so that farmers can enjoy more benefits and dividends. When straw has also become a point to increase income, farmers "like" straw, it can really solve the problem of straw burning year after year.
