Do you agree with Yuan's remark that the money for subsidizing oil should be used to replenish farmers?

Mr. Yuan Longping said: the money subsidizing oil should be used to supply farmers, and the purchase price of grain should rise to 2 yuan.

Yuan said this sentence is intended to improve the income of farmers, one is that the older generation of breeders have the feeling of making a life for farmers, and the other is based on the consideration of stimulating farmers' enthusiasm to grow grain so as to ensure national food security. Once again, I would like to pay tribute to his old man and the agricultural practitioners who have changed the fate of farmers and are unwilling to abandon them.

However, from this sentence of Old Yuan, I would like to express three points:

The first goal of raising the purchase price of grain to 2 yuan.

If you simply want to rely on rising to 2 yuan to significantly improve the living standards of the broad masses of farmers is obviously not realistic. With the increase of prices, the rise of the price of the means of production and the rise of house prices, the price of grain has risen from 1.5 yuan to 2 yuan, which is obviously a drop in the bucket. For farmers who live on one mu and three divided fields, they are still living at the bottom of the society.

It is also unrealistic to rely on raising grain prices to stimulate farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain. Let's take a look at a set of data. Since the abolition of agricultural tax and the increase in grain subsidies, grain prices (wheat) have increased from 1400 yuan per ton in 2006 to about 2300 yuan per ton at present. Correspondingly, due to the increase of idle land in rice from "double to single" in recent years, poor-grade fields have been abandoned to good-grade fields. It is obviously of little use to change the status quo by closely relying on an increase of 0.5 yuan.

The second reason is to use the money to subsidize oil to subsidize farmers.

Yuan Lao said in an interview that the drivers outside are all rich people. It would be better if gasoline is more expensive, but the income of farmers is too low. From here, we can also see that Old Yuan, like me, has a simple idealistic idea of robbing the rich to help the poor and egalitarianism, which is, of course, just an analogy, emphasizing that the state should increase subsidies for farmers' income. the second is to emphasize that we should not vigorously develop the oil and automobile industry. So Yuan Lao's real purpose is to appeal to society and the state to attach importance to agriculture, whether it is money to subsidize oil or money to subsidize other places.

Third, how can we improve the income of farmers?

The increase in income is related to price as well as cost. Reducing costs and increasing prices can increase income. Metaphorically, why can hybrid rice be popularized on a large scale? The most important reason is that the breeding cost of hybrid rice is greatly reduced, using male sterile parents (if male sterility does not need to be artificially emasculated) as female parents and better combining ability as male parents. Choosing the offspring with high yield is the hybrids we can buy on the market.

In the face of the situation of large population and little land, ensuring food security, increasing production costs and abandoning agriculture and industry, increasing farmers' income is bound to become a necessary and arduous process. We should see the continuous implementation of many measures, such as the abolition of agricultural tax, the continuous increase of agricultural science and technology, the guidance of land transfer, the promotion of modern agricultural technology, the subsidy for the purchase of agricultural machinery, the continuous standardization of the seed market, and so on. it will open doors after doors for the increase of farmers' income. Here, I once again admire the feelings of agriculture, rural areas and farmers in the heart of Old Yuan, and once again appeal to the state and society for further support and investment in improving farmers' income.

Here is science to promote agriculture, welcome to add attention, with you to grow knowledge.
