Guide the "second generation of farmers" to shoulder the heavy burden of "new farmers"

With the pace of spring, more "farmers of the second generation" come into the fertile soil and join the ranks of "new farmers".

The addition of the "second generation of farmers" to the "new farmers" makes us feel the new hope and strength of the fields. In practice, the "second generation of farmers" who have returned to agriculture in recent years are playing a more and more important role. Some large growers have shown advantages in the introduction of new varieties and large-scale management because of the addition of the "second generation of farmers"; because of the new technologies and means brought by the return of the "second generation of farmers" to the village, the land efficiency of some traditional agricultural areas has increased rapidly; the value of some traditional products has doubled because of the introduction of Internet thinking by the second generation of farmers. As a new generation with new knowledge and new vision, the gold content of "new farmers" has become increasingly prominent.

From a local point of view, there are generally several types of "new farmers" transformed by the "second generation of farmers". One is the descendants of family farms, large professional families or leaders of professional cooperatives, who are familiar with farming and learning management under the leadership of their parents, and some have come to the stage; one is the children of farmers who have returned from their studies or grew up on the spot, who spread their knowledge and skills on the cultivated land and come to prominence in the fields day by day. The other is that under the influence of the new wave and new thinking of modern agriculture, they join the ranks of agriculture in the form of "agriculture + Internet" or as "university student village officials", adding modern color to traditional agriculture with their knowledge and courage.

No matter which type, they have a common identity, the "second generation of farmers". This kind of identity makes their "homesickness" go deep into the bone marrow, and makes them have profound identity, emotion and responsibility to agriculture, rural areas and farmers. Therefore, when they are faced with career choices or life planning, under the same background and interest balance, they have stronger initiative and higher consciousness to choose and join agriculture. This characteristic also makes them fundamentally different from several major "waves of going to the countryside" in the history of New China. They "go to the countryside" in order to eat better and eat longer, and to combine the goal of realizing the value of life with changing the appearance of the countryside.

A clear understanding of the characteristics of the "second generation of farmers" has a strong reality and pertinence for the current efforts to guide, cultivate and strengthen the growth of new professional farmers. To cultivate a new type of professional farmers, we should not only encourage more young people with knowledge, management, and management to enter the "new farmers," but also take advantage of the situation and conform to the trend. create conditions for the "second generation of farmers" who love agriculture and have natural blood ties and emotional ties with agriculture to grow into "new farmers". This will prevent us from taking detours. To achieve this, we must make more efforts in the training of agricultural colleges and universities, rural vocational education, and agricultural skills training, and put our limited funds, manpower and material resources into agricultural successors and "new farmers" in the future.

Benefit attraction is the biggest driving force to guide the "second generation of farmers" to shoulder the burden of "new farmers". Many "second-generation farmers" choose to go home to take over, and it is their parents who have laid the foundation. They have been able to accept the joy of a bumper harvest and embrace gains that are more attractive than other professions; and the fundamental reason why the "second generation of farmers" have jumped out of the "peasant gate" and that agriculture is trapped in "agriculture for the elderly" lies in whether the farm work is hard and does not earn money. At present, China's modern agriculture is stepping up its efforts, and the appropriate scale operation of land and the promotion of agricultural mechanization and informationization have brought about great changes in traditional agriculture and made the "new farmers" have more room for interests. it is bound to attract more "new farmers" to grow up. For this reason, we must continue to break through the institutional obstacles that restrict the growth of agricultural benefits, and explore long-term solutions in the areas of infrastructure construction, agricultural insurance and rural finance that urgently need to be solved in agricultural development.

Modern agriculture is in the ascendant, and most of the "second generation of farmers" will leave the countryside and enter cities and towns with their dreams, and there will be many excellent "second generation of farmers" who will inherit their father's work, expand their father's career, and become the future "masters" of modern agriculture.
