Respect for laws and excessive innovation are incompatible with the issues of agriculture, rural areas and farmers.

The farmland circle has seen all kinds of agricultural innovation in the market recently. combined with so many years of agricultural practice, I vaguely feel a question: is excessive agricultural innovation a good phenomenon?

Some things are stable and do not change according to people's will. these are the laws. "innovation" that violates the law is often a disaster.

Of course, it is not that some people deliberately create disasters, it is that they do not know what the law is, or they think they have mastered the law, but in fact, what they know is not the law of things.

What are the laws of agricultural production?

Agricultural production has to abide by many laws, economic, biological, natural, social and cultural, and it may be one-sided to look at agriculture from a single perspective.

There is another law in agriculture, from around the world, it is difficult to find cases where agriculture can get rich, and developed countries have to give large-scale subsidies to large-scale agriculture. This all confirms a law that agriculture is a primary industry with low economic benefits, which is far lower than the secondary and tertiary industries only in terms of economic benefits. This is not only a law, but also a necessary condition for the effectiveness of national land use control.

Therefore, the farmland circle has always despised all kinds of enterprises in the market that boast that agriculture is about to become a profiteering industry or excessively deceive ordinary people into such innovation. Of course, enterprises should make profits, but they should also have the most basic moral bottom line, and they should not rely on that knowledge advantage to deceive farmers for the short-term interests of enterprises. After all, huge knowledge biases make it easy for farmers to be deceived and fooled.

The issue of agriculture, rural areas and farmers in China, of course, should pursue efficiency, but not only efficiency, because the domestic issues of agriculture, rural areas and farmers have their own particularity. Agriculture is not just a profession for farmers and rural areas, but also means more significance such as security and stability.

More than 30 years ago, the reason why the contracted production to households burst into huge energy, launched and promoted China's reform and rapid development, and quickly solved the transformation from hunger to food and clothing, what is the reason, and what brings such great power? In other words, what is the experience of the essence of reform in Xiaogang Village? Different disciplines may have different understandings and interpretations. However, there is one point that we all agree on, that is, the problem of "peasants working for themselves" has been solved. The characteristics of agriculture determine that only by working for ourselves can we achieve the highest labor efficiency. This is the most valuable experience left to us by Xiaogang Village in developing agriculture.

Second, the family business is out of date?

Unfortunately, disturbed by a mess of theories, today's Xiaogang Village may have changed and given up this regular precious wealth, because they do not realize the wealth value of this experience.

With the development of society, there are indeed all kinds of problems in peasant household management. Some people began to doubt whether the family business is out of date, and even began to blame the distribution of land to households is wrong, but also cited the case of collective prosperity to negate the family business.

For those who have this view and understanding, please answer a question in the farmland circle: would you please take two steps to find a typical person in the world who does not rely on subsidies to grow grain and get rich only by collectivization? If you think you can find it, it is recommended that you study it carefully after going to the local field research.

But the farmland circle finds individual industrial and commercial households who get rich anywhere. Because, in fact, those rich "collectives" are on the road to prosperity through the development of industry and commerce, rather than growing corn and wheat together. The reason why the income of farmers represented by Xiaogang village has not been improved for a long time is that they have persisted in farming for a long time, which is a career that contributes to the country and society and does not benefit them. That is, the externality problem that economists talk about. This is determined by the different nature of agriculture and industry, not the difference between collectives or individuals.

III. A bottom line that must be adhered to in agricultural reform is to insist on farmers working for themselves.

So how to solve the problem of farmers' management, make agriculture move towards sustainable development, and effectively increase farmers' income? There is only one rule, and there can be more than one road. This law is to adhere to the bottom line of peasant household management and let farmers work for themselves.

To this end, the central government has adhered to a series of systems and policies to stabilize the contracting relationship, from 15 years to 30 years, and then to long-term changes. In order to remain unchanged for a long time, the work of issuing certificates for farmers' rights has also been carried out. Its purpose is to stabilize farmers' rights to arable land, and on this basis to make farmers feel at ease about farming, so that they do not have to worry about the infringement of your land at will. The elderly who have entered the city or lost the ability to work, withdraw or transfer the land to the farmers on a voluntary basis, thus realizing the scale of family management, that is, family farms. As a management unit with family labor as the main labor force, family farm still obeys the law of farmers working for themselves, so it is the ideal trend of agricultural development.

Fourth, there is reform murmur and pseudo-innovation in the three rural markets!

However, the correct way to adhere to the bottom line of peasant household management has been interfered by all sides, and agriculture in many places has gone astray.

First, some so-called scholars, who do not know where to learn some theories, talk a lot about how to get rich in agriculture and encourage capital to contract land in an attempt to get rich. as a result, of course, they run up against a brick wall everywhere, and then engage in non-agriculturalization, harming farmers and society.

Other grass-roots cadres always want to manipulate the land themselves, invent the method of recovering the land to the collective, and obtain "collective" income by issuing contracts year after year, until the enterprise goes bankrupt because of low agricultural efficiency, or the land has been non-agriculturalized.

Of course, there are also some officials colluding with capital to circle the land, in the name of so-called "modern agriculture", to obtain state subsidies and try to change the use of land to engage in real estate. When this road is blocked, there is a result of massive government subsidies to create large-scale wasteland. This phenomenon can be seen everywhere.

Of course, there is also the promotion of the media, creating lies about making agriculture rich, publicizing individual cases as universal facts, and predatory management of capital and unsustainable agriculture as typical modern agriculture. it has also seriously misled people's understanding of agriculture and objectively deceived investors and entrepreneurs.

Some people ask, is there a new law for agricultural development? The farmland circle believes that: without new laws, people still lack understanding of the inherent laws of agriculture, and even engage in innovation on the premise of not knowing what agriculture is, failure and absurdity are inevitable.

Fifth, there are ten irreplaceable advantages of family business!

Family farm is the inevitable choice for farmers to manage. Family farms have ten benefits:

L helps to improve labor efficiency. Farmers work for themselves, showing a high sense of responsibility and sense of responsibility.

L is conducive to the realization of appropriate scale operation. The size of a family farm is a moderate scale. That is, the lower limit is the standard of livelihood, and the upper limit is the maximum level of skills available to the family labor force.

It is helpful to improve the income and social status of farmers. Realize the stability and full employment of farmers

L is conducive to long-term investment. The contract relationship will remain unchanged for a long time, it can inherit, transfer and withdraw, the rights and interests will not be disturbed, and there are long-term business expectations.

L is conducive to cultivated land protection and sustainable development

It is beneficial to the inheritance and development of excellent agricultural culture.

It is beneficial to the application of agricultural science and technology.

L is conducive to the formation of agricultural organizations

L is conducive to national identification and effective support for agriculture

It is beneficial to the agricultural security of the country.

People with general knowledge of agriculture can understand these advantages and will not repeat them.

VI. The speed and rate of land transfer are by no means indicators of agricultural modernity. Excessive intervention will lead to social problems.

Where does the cultivated land come from to develop a family farm of moderate scale?

Arable land is transferred from farmers who give up agriculture. Some people go to the city to work, unable to take care of agriculture, so they have to transfer the land to the farmers, so that the farmers can have more land.

This process occurs naturally and is a slow process. Don't try to get the land transferred in one morning.

The speed and rate of land transfer can not reflect the indicators of agricultural modernity, and the artificially driven speed of land transfer is only an indicator of social problems.

Cultivated land has two major functions: for the state and society, cultivated land has the function of agricultural security, therefore, it is necessary to protect the red line of cultivated land, to specify the use of cultivated land, to delimit basic farmland, and to implement strict land use control. this is the case in any country, and agricultural production cannot be regulated by the so-called market.

For farmers, cultivated land is an important guarantee of farmers' life and the basic condition to achieve farmers' employment, income and maintenance of life. As long as farmers do not get perfect social security, cultivated land can not be deprived. In the absence of perfect security, no matter what reasons or conditions force farmers to give up their land, it is a crime against farmers and directly creates social problems. The landless peasants who have given high compensation are at best the rich poor who have lost their social life.

At the same time, it should also be noted that those who already have perfect social security conditions should withdraw free of charge, or at least transfer the land at a low price for long-term use by farmers. Those slogans and practices advocating the property income of farmland and benefiting farmers by high land rent essentially hurt the fundamental interests of farmers, the agricultural security of the country and agricultural investors. Because in fact, no subject can benefit from it. The phenomenon of scale operation and rent withdrawal this year has gradually exposed the problem.

Finally, the agricultural circle wants to say: to return the land to farmers, agriculture without farmers is dangerous and unsustainable, or at least agriculture that has to pay a huge price. Industrial scale agriculture may be an inevitable trend in contemporary culture, but it is by no means an ideal result and inevitable choice.
