With the process of urbanization, young and middle-aged groups in rural areas have found suitable jobs in cities and enterprises, and agricultural land is more managed by the left-behind elderly. The current situation of "farming for the elderly" has objectively accelerated the process of rural land transfer. During the investigation in a certain place in the south of Henan Province, the author found that farmers have great expectations for land transfer, and at the same time, there are "six fears and six worries".

For one thing, there is no agreement for private transfer, and it is worried that oral agreement will lead to disputes. In some places, because of the remote location, there is no larger company to transfer the land management right as a whole, and some are only short-term behavior between households, oral agreement, transfer time, transfer business scope and so on. After the transfer of land, some unauthorized change of land use caused dissatisfaction with each other; some have just invested in the land, and the transferee wants to take it back, which leads to numerous contradictions and disputes.

Second, I am afraid that the circulation company does not have the strength and worry that the transfer cost is not guaranteed. In recent years, a large amount of capital has gone to the countryside to carry out land transfer. Some large companies have abundant funds and local government support, so farmers are more at ease. However, some transfer parties are only near the village or local farmers, their strength is general, some are set up in the form of cooperatives, the purpose of the transfer of land is to use land as a capital declaration project to obtain loans. For this kind of transfer, farmers are worried that it will be difficult to cash in the transfer cost after the land transfer.

Third, they are afraid of changing the use of the transferred land and are worried that grain subsidies will not be issued. Some of the transferred land is planted with fruit trees or fish ponds. Farmers are worried that they will not grow conventional crops such as wheat, corn and rice, and that "direct grain subsidies" will not be distributed.

Fourth, I am afraid that there is nothing to do in the transfer of land and that there is no guarantee of the source of income. This kind of situation is mainly farmers who make a living by farming, aged between 50 and 65, and no one wants to go out to work. To plant the land to others, first, there is a sense of emptiness in my heart, and second, the transfer fee of about 500 yuan per mu per year is too small. If I grow it casually, I can earn thousands of yuan per mu.

Fifth, they are afraid that the transferred land will be mortgaged and that the transferred land will be confiscated. After the land is transferred by enterprises, farmers worry that these enterprises are not mainly farming, but in disguise to encircle the land, build farms, engage in breeding farms, and then set up projects to their superiors and use them as collateral to apply for loans from banks. Farmers worry that if the circulation enterprise goes bankrupt or poorly managed, the mortgaged land will be confiscated by the bank or the debtor, and the farmers will have no place to reason.

Sixth, I am afraid that the circulation time will be long, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to recycle when the circulation expires. The contract signed by both sides of the transfer is usually more than 10 years. Farmers are worried that the transfer time is too long and it is difficult to recover the management right when it expires. Some circulation parties have built houses on the circulation land and planted valuable trees, whose value is difficult to calculate. If the contract expires, the transferor is unwilling to withdraw for various reasons, such as operating loss, building demolition compensation, tree relocation compensation and so on. As a vulnerable group, it is difficult to argue.
