The knowledge of farming is endless.

Autumn 2014, the season for grain harvest. Li Dajun, an old farmer in Dongfeng Village, Yilong Town, Yi'an County, and his son Li Sheng, when harvesting corn of the same area, the same variety, and the same farming method, their yields are not the same. The yield per mu is less than 600 kg and the yield per mu is more than 800 kg. Behind the great disparity in output is nothing else, but because old man Li dislikes the density of corn planting, so he separates 5000 corn seedlings per mu from one tree to another, while his son Li Sheng follows the routine and keeps one tree at a time. This is a typical result of not knowing science and believing in science.

The purpose of leapfrogging from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture is to increase the land output rate and increase economic benefits. In this process, it is the only way to embark on the journey of modern agriculture to gradually abandon the traditional farming methods, constantly explore and use new planting techniques, combine agricultural machinery and agronomy, and carry out scientific assembly. However, at present, there are still some old farmers who have come from the period of "big gang coaxing" of the production team, have a low level of education, and are used to using the old methods of farming. They always think that they can farm the land, which is the "old style" of the crop courtyard. Therefore, in the process of modern agricultural construction, they are often slow to accept new things, and there are people who "don't like" new planting techniques. There are also skeptics, and as a result, the pace of the promotion of new technologies is delayed. Although the father and son at the beginning of this article are only the difference in the number of seedlings, they show that the potential consciousness of the "old style" to traditional agriculture is deeply rooted.

Although the old farmers are old-fashioned, they are also heartened by the news that the yield of corn per mu exceeds the ton per mu, the yield of rice per mu exceeds the ton and the yield of other crops rises. Some can quickly adjust their mindset and follow up in time, taking big steps, while others take a wait-and-see attitude of waiting and taking a look. Throughout the northeast of the motherland and Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and other regions, basically planting crops one season a year, good planting, high yield and bumper harvest, poor planting, low yield and poor harvest, a year has passed.

To take the road of modern agricultural development, what is needed is all farmers who cultivate land, who have higher comprehensive quality to control the whole process of planting. Where there is a deviation, the land will wear an "eye patch". At present, both old farmers and new farmers should become professional farmers and land farming experts, constantly use the high-yield models explored by professional experts and land farmers for their own use, and completely abandon the outdated and peak-to-peak planting model. continue to advance to the goal of low input and high output, high input and high output.

Agricultural experts are the strong backing to ensure high yield and bumper harvest in agriculture. They should constantly communicate with farmers through distance education platform or face to face, so as to contribute wholeheartedly to the increase of production and income of farmers and the protection of national food security.
