Before the promotion of the household contract responsibility system, China was able to implement mechanization. On the one hand, the intensification of land and the development of agricultural machinery; manpower, creating an environment suitable for agricultural mechanization.
However, in mountainous areas, there is still resistance to promoting agricultural mechanization.
On the mountain road in the village, it is difficult to deploy your agricultural machinery and equipment. Driving a walk-behind tractor on the mountain road on our side is exciting. Large-scale agricultural machinery is even more difficult!
Why do people not want to farm now? To put it bluntly, farming is time-consuming and labor-intensive and not profitable.
If the farmers are tied to the countryside as before, even if the countryside is mechanized, the output every year will not be enough for the young men in the city.
There are fewer and fewer people in rural areas, especially young people
Like us, we still go home to work every year when the farming is busy, just because the old people are unwilling to leave the farmland, and always feel that they are farmers after all.
But if there is no such main force in farming in the future, it is basically impossible to expect middle-aged and elderly people like us to farm again.
If a professional civil engineering team is required to carry out the construction and renovation, the cost cannot be covered at all, and the cost benefit is directly disproportionate!
There is a basic consensus on our side of the farm: if you can farm for a year, you can count it as quite acceptable.
Furthermore, the nature of the land transfer contractors is no different from that of individual farming, but it is just a variety of land. Spring planting and autumn harvesting are employed, and few of them earn considerable income in a year.
Therefore, they still use farming as a sideline. They farm only to produce fodder raw materials for their own farms. Many of us even directly use cultivated land to grow fodder grass.
Now, even farmers who have been farming all their lives realize that farming is a negative income, so since the post-80s generation, there is no new generation willing to farm, even if they don't have a job, they are unwilling to go back to farming.
And now the decline of rural areas is further accelerated with the separation of young people, and the older generation cannot plant land in rural areas.
And the children do not plant the land, which leads to the shortage of land, or simply planting trees and other semi-permanent crops. The problems faced by the rural areas now and in the future are far more serious than what you see online.
The premise of agricultural mechanization is industrialization
If a farmer's family has only one mu of land, mechanization is obviously not necessary, but if he has contracted 500 mu of land for rice cultivation, mechanization is necessary.
At that time he was not just a farmer, but should be called a farmer entrepreneur.
Personally, I believe that the household contract responsibility system is really a test of the waters for the restructuring of the agricultural industry.
Why is China's agricultural output value low? Is the production level low? Why are production levels low?
There are many reasons, one of which is that production units are too fragmented and lack integration.
The Sunkist company in the United States was our agricultural cooperative in its previous life. In 1893, it began to engage in the Agricultural Federation, unified production standards, and put aside the middlemen to engage in channel construction and branding.
When the awareness of China's agricultural industrialization has generally improved, let's look at the agricultural output value of Europe and the United States. The reason for doing large-scale contracts is that under the commune system, it is difficult to mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers.
In fact, many rural areas have returned to the feudal mode of production that was oppressed by the clan. It does not matter whether they are rich or not. The peasants depend on their relationship with the clan chief, because the production wealth is concentrated in their hands.
The reason why the landlord is the landlord is not only that the land is the landlord, but also because the landlord has the right to distribute the production of this land. The latter is the core of the landlord class.
Under the commune system, a new class of landlords was in fact formed in the countryside. They are not very wealthy on the surface, but their children are not hungry.
Relatives are allocated more, and their children have more opportunities to study abroad. After becoming an urbanite, they in turn consolidate their dominant position in the countryside.
Perhaps because of this, many farmers are unwilling to produce, because more work and less work are for the landlords, so it is better to concentrate on finding a way to get a commercial grain urban household registration.
Why did Baogan appear in Fengyang County? Because when the product produced by the land is small enough, the landlord will not have enough power. Therefore, the implementation of large-scale contracting means that the peasants have new powers。
To implement agricultural mechanization, we still cannot do without the help of the state
In the past 40 years, the country has made great efforts to alleviate poverty to targeted poverty alleviation. It has increased financial resources to carry out advanced modernization of agricultural land, improved land fertility and infrastructure, and increased subsidies to attract capital to expand modern agricultural mechanization.
Although the bowl of China's staple food is guaranteed to be firmly in their hands, it cannot prevent the hollowing out of rural areas, aging, and the desolation of agricultural land.
Finally, I personally think that the real restriction on agricultural mechanization is the geographical factor. Northeast and Xinjiang have few people, few mountains and few rivers, and it is easy to mechanize large plots.
There are many mountains and rivers in the southern region, which makes the fields so small that even hand-held machinery cannot be used. In fact, as long as the scale is hundreds of acres, mechanization is not a problem.
