The main body of grain management says to look forward to

Recently, the Hebei investigation team of ten thousand households in 100 townships held a discussion with 15 major grain growers, family farms, farmers' specialized cooperatives, agricultural enterprises, and other grain scale operators in Sijiazhuang Town, Luquan District, Shijiazhuang City. everyone introduced some of their own experiences and ideas.

The price of land transfer has risen year after year, which has become a heavy burden on the main body of grain scale operation. Ma Yanbin, a post-80s farmer in the Spring Valley Cooperative, made an account for the investigation team with his fingers: "the contract signed with farmers was about 1000 yuan per mu of wheat per mu, but now because the government subsidizes the land for planting trees on both sides of the highway, the land rent has also risen to 1200 yuan. Growing grain does not make money at all, and if there is a disaster, it will not only work in vain but also lose money." It is generally reflected that the government should give reasonable guidance to the price of land transfer in order to protect the enthusiasm of the main body of grain scale operation.

Zhang Baoshu of the Danong Aerospace breeding Research Center in Shijiazhuang took over: "at present, the soil nutrients in this area are very uneven, and the application of fertilizer is relatively blind in the planting process." For example, returning straw to the field has made the soil rich in potassium, but potash fertilizer is still being applied in large quantities. " He suggested that the agricultural sector should innovate working methods to provide scale operators with one-to-one accurate, targeted soil testing formula services and follow-up solutions, so that they can really get real benefits.

"A total of 22 agricultural machinery and tools, including 11 seeders, 3 high-power tractors, and 2 small tractors, have no place to put, so they can only be placed in the courtyard of a friend's house. If the supporting land cannot be granted, we can only consider selling it." Shi Zhiliang, a big grain grower, complained to the investigation team that with the expansion of the planting scale, grain warehousing and the storage of agricultural machinery and tools have become a major problem troubling him. After a bumper harvest, there is also no place for drying and storage, so they can only be sold to small merchants and hawkers at a low price. "if the wheat is put away and stored for a month, it can be sold for an extra 10 cents per catty. Last year, I harvested a total of 300000 jin. If I had warehousing facilities, I could earn an extra 30,000 yuan."

When we heard from the investigation team that in September 2014, the Ministry of Land and Resources and the Ministry of Agriculture jointly issued the "Circular on further supporting the healthy Development of Facility Agriculture," which made the latest regulations on the land for the construction of supporting facilities for the main body of large-scale grain production, everyone welcomed it and hoped that these policies would be implemented as soon as possible, so that they could engage in large-scale grain production at ease.

"at present, it is difficult to obtain loans. Bank loans usually need to be guaranteed by financial people, and the procedures are extremely complicated, while the interest rates of private loans are high and the costs are difficult to bear." Xu Yongke of the Le Nong Cooperative proposed that the state would provide interest-free or discount loans to large grain growers like him to buy agricultural machinery and tools. Hearing about the issue of subsidies, Ma Yanbin snatched the words again: at present, the agricultural insurance subsidized by the state takes the contracted farmers as the insured, and if disaster losses occur after the land transfer, the funds paid will still be paid to the contracted farmers rather than the main body of grain scale operation. "I hope that the state will introduce an agricultural insurance program specifically aimed at the main body of grain scale operation as soon as possible, so that people who really grow grain can be protected."

The afternoon passed quickly, and Wei Jianghua, a big grain grower, said with emotion: "this forum here has opened our eyes and gained insight. I hope that we can organize more such exchanges and professional training in the future to improve our own production management level." Everyone generally said that they had met together this time, held discussions, exchanged each other's information, and found solutions to some of the usual problems and difficulties, hoping to build a long-term mechanism. to provide more opportunities for exchanges and training for grain scale operators.

"We have also gained a lot, learned a lot about agricultural production, learned about the local problems and difficulties, mastered some of the actual conditions of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, and accumulated a large number of firsthand materials, which provide reference and reference for future work." Members of the investigation team generally reflected.
