The development of agricultural mechanization on more than 3 million farms in the United States should be used for reference.

Last Updated: 2024/11/24, I think we can get an overall sense of American agriculture from a set of figures. The population of the United States is 400 million, but there are only 5 million agricultural workers. The United States has 3 million farms and less than two people own one.

As for the situation of American agriculture, I think we can first have an overall perception of it from a set of figures. The population of the United States is 400 million, but the agricultural employees are only 5 million. The United States has 3 million farms, and less than two people own a farm. In sharp contrast, China has a population of 1.3 billion and agricultural employees of about 400 million, not to mention farms. Up to now, the whole country is basically a small-scale peasant economy.

It can also be seen from the above that the current agricultural economy of our country is backward. In the United States, less than two people can manage a farm. How can this be achieved? This is nothing more than a highly mechanized agriculture in the United States. It can be said that the current agriculture in the United States is the most developed agricultural country in the world.

Because of the characteristics of farm management in American agriculture, its intensive scale characteristics are also very distinct, which is also a major feature of American agriculture.

Agricultural production in the United States in the 1940s has basically realized the machinery from sowing, fertilization to harvest are basically mechanized operation, efficiency is very high. The standardized mechanical operation of American agriculture is not only efficient, but also outstanding in terms of yield.

At present, the export volume of corn, soybean, wheat, beef and pork in the United States is among the highest in the world, which is unmatched by other countries.

The development of agriculture in the United States cannot be separated from the high investment in agriculture. Monsanto, the giant of the world seed company, is located in the United States. From the perspective of high-level papers, the United States is very prominent in biological research. The most typical one is that the United States can apply the research results to practical production faster.

Take the newly approved golden rice, for example. On Children's Day this year, the FDA approved that golden rice can be marketed in the United States and approved for commercial cultivation. Although the research can help poor African countries eliminate vitamin A deficiency, it is developed countries like Australia and the United States that are the first to be applied.

The ability to apply scientific research results more quickly to production has a very obvious effect on the advancement of agriculture. As far as our laboratory is concerned, some genetically modified rape varieties that are convenient for mechanized rape operations are still in the laboratory and cannot benefit the common people. I have to say that this is also worth reflecting on.

Here is science rejuvenates agriculture, welcome to add attention, take you to grow knowledge together.
