What kind of family farm should be supported to open a new pastoral dream?

Editor's note: family farms have played an important leading role in promoting the modernization of agricultural household management, scale, standardization and intensification of agricultural production. In order to promote the standardized and efficient development of family farms, the Department of Economics and Management of the Ministry of Agriculture recently held a national training course on family farms in Yanbian, Jilin Province. At the training course, there are not only the insights of authoritative experts, but also the innovative practices of local grass-roots units. This issue selects some wonderful viewpoints from the training meeting, in order to show the readers the true and complete picture of the family farm in the process of realizing "Rural Chinese Dream". Please pay attention to it.

We still need to take advantage of the initial results of the lead and the speed of running.

Investigation on the present situation of Family Farm Development in Zhucheng City, Shandong Province

In mid-late April last year, cities in Shandong Province successively issued "four documents" such as measures for the identification and management of family farms to encourage the development of family farms and become the "front-runner" in exploring new main bodies of agricultural management. A year on, how is the family farm going? What changes have this new form of management brought to farmers?

Become a farmer, good things happen again and again.

"over the past year, I have gained a lot of affordable policies, and I have more confidence in farming!" A year later, Wang Ruli, a big tobacco grower in Wujiazhuang Village, Jiayue Town, Zhucheng City, said with great pleasure when he saw the author again.

He began to plant tobacco on a large scale in 2009 and transferred 1130 mu of land in three villages of Yan Jiazhuang, Wujiazhuang and Jiayuedong Village in Jiayue Town within 3 years. With the scale of tobacco leaves, drying and storage have become a problem. "I heard that after setting up a family farm, you can apply for temporary construction land, build a flue-cured tobacco room and a drying field, and the loan interest rate is still low." Therefore, Wang Ruli applied for registration of the family farm at the first time.

"what are the benefits?" The author asks. "for example, loans, the transfer of land, the construction of warehousing facilities, agricultural technology services, and many supporting policies, governments and departments at all levels as well as villagers also support me very much, so I can become bigger and bigger." Speaking of this, Wang Ruli went on and on.

Song Haiyuan of Fengjiazhuang, Jia Yue Town, registered an individual industrial and commercial household "Song Haiyuan Grain Family Farm in Zhucheng" in April last year, with an actual circulation of 913 mu of land.

This "national grain grower and grain seller" commended by the State Council has tasted the benefits of "family farms." This spring, the city's agricultural department carried out soil testing and formula fertilization, and because Song Haiyuan registered a family farm, the agricultural department sampled and tested his land at 12 sites and prescribed a formula for nothing. "with one mu of land, the cost of chemical fertilizer alone will save 50 or 60 yuan."

Song Haiyuan told me that the most intuitive feeling after registering the family farm is that the crops in the field are more valuable than before and the ability to resist market risks is also stronger. "take selling wheat, for example, since we registered a family farm last year, the credibility of agricultural products has increased. Most of the products are sold through orders, and the price per jin of wheat is 0.1 yuan higher than the previous market price. our farm produces more than 300 tons of wheat a year, so we can earn more than 60,000 yuan more in a year. "

The policy is fermented, and the comprehensive benefit is highlighted.

Wang Runhong, director of Zhucheng Rural Economic Administration, said that by the end of July this year, the number of family farms approved and registered in Zhucheng had reached 772, with a registered capital of 510 million yuan. Although these figures are not enough to evaluate the harvest over the past year, in the process of interviewing family farmers, I really felt their heartfelt joy, self-confidence and hope, which are perhaps the most far-reaching gains that this new form of management has brought to farmers.

The data show that the rapid development of family farms has accelerated the transfer of land to large professional households in the city, and stimulated the vitality of rural economic development with the family as the basic management unit. By the end of July this year, the city had added 99000 mu of land transfer area, totaling 469000 mu.

At the same time, the development of family farms will liberate more rural labor force from the land and transfer to cities and towns and secondary and tertiary industries. In the process of production and operation, all family farms in the city can enable more than 5000 farmers to work stably, and 23000 rural labor force need to be used seasonally. the division of labor and orderly circulation of rural labor force has promoted the agglomeration and integration of rural areas. the pace of development of a new type of urbanization has been accelerated.

It is necessary to "make up for many courses" and look forward to the improvement of the policy.

"it is the warehouse of sorrow." Song Haiyuan hopes that the government can help him solve the problem of land for production facilities and build drying farms and warehouses.

The difficulty of financing also restricts the further development of family farms. The early investment of the family farm is relatively large, but at present, the difficulty of agricultural production loan is still prominent, coupled with the rising cost of land transfer in recent years, the difficulty of financing restricts the further development of the family farm.

In addition, the high price of land transfer also worries farmers. "now, the transfer price per mu of land is about 1000 yuan, and farmers' psychology of cherishing land coupled with high-cost input makes the transfer of land more and more difficult. If we do not grasp the "bull nose" of land circulation, family farms will not develop in any case. " Zhang Huanxin, director of the Agriculture and Industry Office of the Zhucheng Municipal CPC Committee, said that when carrying out large-scale land transfer, family farms often fail to reach an agreement because one or more peasant households cannot reach an agreement, which makes it difficult to succeed in the large-scale transfer of land, resulting in the dispersion of land and restricting the development of family farms.

With the establishment of the family farm, not only the scale of planting and breeding is expanding, the variety is increasing, but also the emergence of new links brought about by the direct docking market, such as processing, sales, brand management, etc., but the actual operation of the farm is still one by one. There are a lot of "homework" to make up in technology, management and other aspects. In the interview, many family farmers suggested that the government should build an education and training platform for family farms, integrate farmers' training resources, innovate farmers' education and training mechanism, and focus on training farm operators in production, operation and management skills. improve the quality and management level of family farm operators. At the same time, we will attract and absorb a number of young and skilled new farmers to engage in agricultural production. (Guo Peisheng and Xu Chunguang)
