The "opinion" is clear that our province will start the cultivation and development of family farms this year; by 2018, the province will strive to cultivate and develop about 20000 family farms (including 3000 provincial demonstration family farms). The operating area accounts for more than 20% of the province's scale operating area, and the land output rate is more than 25% higher than the average of the province. The per capita net income of family members is more than twice the per capita net income of local farmers or equivalent to the per capita disposable income of local urban residents.

It is necessary to encourage large professional families of a certain scale to set up family farms, and encourage and support college and secondary school graduates, new vocational farmers, practical and technical personnel in rural areas, and migrant workers returning to their hometown to set up family farms. Select the best to cultivate and support a number of exemplary family farms, play an exemplary and leading role, persist in maturing and develop one by one, and lead the scientific and standardized development of family farms.

The "opinion" requires that in this work, all localities should focus on strengthening service management, carrying out the establishment of demonstration farms, strengthening the training of farm operators, guiding the transfer of land to family farms, and exploring the interest connection mechanism of family farms. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen financial support, implement land for infrastructure construction, strengthen financial and insurance tax support, and increase technical service support.
