How to renew the power of agricultural machinery after the "Golden decade"

A few days ago, the Management cadre College of the Ministry of Agriculture held the second rotation training class for county directors of agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery this year, with 115 agricultural machinery directors from major crop mechanization demonstration counties across the country, as well as system cadres of the Ministry of Agriculture, participating in the rotation training. In this rotation training, nearly ten lectures, case studies, and on-site teaching have been organized. The students focus on how to promote the whole process of mechanization, how to implement subsidies for the purchase of agricultural machinery, how to complete the land preparation of deep loosening of agricultural machinery, and how to cultivate a new type of agricultural machinery socialized service market.

Since 2004, the development of agricultural mechanization in China has gone through a "golden decade": the total amount of agricultural machinery has been continuously improved, the equipment structure has been further optimized, and the comprehensive mechanization rate of crops has reached 61%. New socialized service organizations such as large agricultural machinery households and agricultural machinery cooperatives have developed vigorously, and agricultural mechanization development policies have also been continuously developed.

After the "Golden decade", how to re-develop agricultural machinery and promote the transformation of the mode of agricultural development has become the problem that every student thinks about most.

The main direction of improving the level of mechanization in the whole process of grain crop production is to promote advanced agricultural mechanization technology, of which subsoiling soil preparation is an important one. This year, the State Council requires 200 million mu of subsoiling land preparation operations. Some directors have reflected that there are still many farmers who do not realize the benefits of deep loosening and land preparation. "the key is to do a good job in comparative tests and demonstrations, so that farmers can see that deep loosening and land preparation can increase production." Zheng Ronghui, director of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau of Yuci District, Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, said.

Mechanical harvesting of potato, cotton, sugarcane, rape and mechanical harvesting are all bottlenecks in the whole process of cash crop production. "I was very moved in the class, but I couldn't make a move when I went back." Xiang Jihua, deputy director of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau of Zhanyi County, Yunnan Province, believes that a breakthrough in agricultural mechanization technology is the key to the realization of potato mechanization, and he calls for policy guidance to promote the research and development of agricultural machinery suitable for potato planting in hilly and mountainous areas.

Since the implementation of agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy in 2004, it has played an important role in improving the level of agricultural mechanization in China. How to give further play to the policy guiding role of purchase subsidies is also an issue of general concern to directors. "the standard of subsidy for the renewal and scrapping of agricultural machinery and tools should be higher, and the pre-conditions should be lower, otherwise the enthusiasm of farmers will not be high." The words of Yang Zhengjun, director of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau of Donghai County, Jiangsu Province, represent the voices of many directors.

Wang Jianxi, director of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau of Bole City in Xinjiang, thinks more about the renewal of agricultural machinery. At the symposium, he proposed to set up a national unified second-hand agricultural machinery trading market. After the meeting, he introduced this idea to the reporter in detail: in Xinjiang, a large number of old agricultural machinery sleep in farmers' homes, which has affected the upgrading of agricultural machinery. By establishing a second-hand agricultural machinery trading system, it can not only invigorate the assets in the hands of farmers, but also promote the upgrading of agricultural machinery equipment, and facilitate the realization of agricultural machinery safety supervision, which can be described as "killing three birds with one stone."

Agricultural machinery cooperatives are the main body of the market for new agricultural machinery socialization services. the case teaching of this rotation training class is targeted at Renfa farmers' cooperatives in Keshan County, Heilongjiang Province. on-site teaching is arranged in Haibin Cooperative in Liyang City, Jiangsu Province-- two "feasts" make directors who pay attention to cooperative issues feel very "enjoyable".

"Agricultural machinery cooperatives should not only provide specialized services, but also improve the efficiency of the use of agricultural machinery and carry out diversified economy through land transfer." After listening to the development experience of Haibin Cooperative, Li Jian, deputy director of the Bureau of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry in Zunyi County, Guizhou Province, had a lot of feelings.

The difficulty of financing has always been a major problem for cooperatives, but Chongqing Dazu District has found a local solution. Jiang Shengbin, director of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau of the area, said that Dazu area should give full play to the role of state-owned enterprises as the main force and encourage enterprises to set up modern agricultural companies. by the latter to set up agricultural machinery cooperatives, the financing problem can be easily solved with enterprise guarantees.

The five-day rotation training ended quickly, and "harvest" and "confidence" became the common key words for the directors' representatives to learn and sum up. "you see, this is about the socialized service of agricultural machinery, and this is about the scrapping and renewal of agricultural machinery." Bo Chuanmin, director of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau of Lijin County, Shandong Province, pointed to seven or eight pieces of paper that he remembered fully and said to reporters, "these are the research results of our group, and they are also the 'magic weapon' for everyone to carry out work in the future."
