Yu Huihuai: Peasants cannot fall behind in building a well-off society in an all-round way

More than 30 years ago, in the farmland of Xujia Village, Liujianfang Township, Liaozhong County, Liaoning Province, a 20-year-old farmer watched the villagers cultivate in the traditional way, with low labor efficiency and poor economic benefits. He is determined to be an agricultural machinery farmer, relying on advanced agricultural machinery to make himself and his hometown rich. So Yu Huihuai bought an old-fashioned tractor with a loan and began simple mechanized production. In the past 30 years, the peasant youth of that year not only developed into a well-known "grain king" in Northeast China, but also became a household name "a good hand in leading the rural areas to create wealth".

"Farmers cannot be left behind in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way." Yu Huihuai, who came to Beijing to attend the fourth session of the 12th National people's Congress on the 3rd, said in an interview with China News Service that the 13th five-year Plan period is the decisive stage for China to build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way. Agricultural mechanization is indispensable for farmers to become rich and well-off.

General Secretary Xi Jinping once said,'if China wants to be strong, agriculture must be strong; if China wants to be beautiful, the countryside must be beautiful; if China wants to be rich, farmers must be rich.'" Yu Huihuai believes that agricultural modernization has become the main line of the 13th five-year Plan. As the basis of agricultural modernization, the level of agricultural mechanization needs to be greatly improved.

Solving the problems of agriculture, rural areas and farmers is the key and difficult point to achieve the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way. In this regard, Yu Huaihuai always thinks about how to speed up agricultural development, accelerate farmers to become rich, and promote rural production and income. He came to the conclusion that we must rely on science and technology. "China needs to take the road of modern agriculture with characteristics. From seed production, to efficient pesticides, and then to team building, to carry out the reform of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, it is necessary to insert the wings of science and technology for agriculture. "

Not only that, Yu Huihuai stressed the role of "large grain growers" in the agricultural development of the 13th five-year Plan. "the 'big grain growers' lead the country's agricultural development with professional, advanced technology and concepts to form a support for building a well-off society. The 'big grain growers' should lead the broad masses of farmers to operate in succession, reduce costs, and develop characteristic and efficient agriculture. "

Recalling his entrepreneurial experience at that time, Yu Huihuai felt deeply about the magic of agricultural mechanization. "at that time, the mechanized equipment was not comprehensive and the technology was not perfect. When my villagers and I mentioned agricultural mechanization, they didn't believe it. Promoting the development of agricultural mechanization requires farmers to accept advanced ideas. "

Yu Huihuai believes that the national policy of benefiting farmers has paved a broad road for agricultural mechanization. "before 2000, farmers were unwilling to farm land." He said with emotion that at that time, farmers contracted their own land, and the income of farming was not as good as that of working. As the country pays more and more attention to agriculture and continuously introduces policies to benefit farmers, farmers not only do not have to pay agricultural taxes, but also get a variety of comprehensive subsidies. "in the past, agriculture supported industry; now, industry feeds agriculture."

"the yield per mu of rice transplanting by mechanical transplanting is more than 200 times higher than that by manual transplanting, and the grain is full." Yu Huihuai told reporters, taking the role of rice transplanter as an example, "in recent years, farmers yearn for efficient and energy-saving agriculture." Farmers cannot do without mechanization. "

Under the active promotion and leadership of Huihuai, the fields of Liujianfang Township in Liaozhong County, Liaoning Province have changed. After joining the agricultural cooperative, farmers can increase their income by 350 yuan per mu, and their annual income is very optimistic. "favorable agricultural policies and agricultural mechanization have brought benefits to farmers."

"there are bright spots and difficulties in all localities." For the mountainous and rural areas with relatively slow development, Yu Huihuai suggested that the land should be transferred to "large agricultural households" and agricultural cooperatives, so that "experts who can cultivate land" should engage in the operation of secondary and tertiary industries. "if there are few resources, we must give full play to the advantages of the region, increase its added value with characteristic agriculture and tourism agriculture, and change the predicament. As the whole people go to a well-off society, farmers in mountainous areas cannot be left behind. "
