Once upon a time, the farming happiness of "planting a millet in spring and harvesting ten thousand kinds in autumn", the farming happiness of "hoeing the lotus in the morning" and the farming interest of "returning grass to the father and grazing in the rain in the village" painted us a picture of the rich, comfortable and indifferent farming civilization of the Chinese nation. However, with the arrival of industrial civilization, farming has become a tasteless business and a pity to abandon it. "Agriculture is the foundation of the world", "grain is the first policy, and agriculture is the foundation of the country". Ignoring agriculture, discriminating against farmers and ignoring agriculture will inevitably threaten national food security, social stability and economic development. Therefore, making farming more interesting and farmers more glorious is related to the overall development, the national rejuvenation and the inheritance of civilization.
To make farming more interesting and farmers more glorious, we can't help but ask, what makes hardworking and kind farmers have no intention to farm and are keen to leave their homes to work? The reason is actually very simple. One is the ticket issue. The comparative benefit of agriculture is low, farmers can't make money, and farming loses money. Naturally everyone is willing to do it. According to the author's investigation, it takes five months for a farmer to grow 5 mu of wheat to earn 2000 yuan, while it takes only half a month to work in the city to earn 2000 yuan. The second is the issue of face. For a long time, the dual barriers between urban and rural areas have widened the gap between urban and rural areas. The glory of farmers has turned into a humble, poor and weak rural area today. Farmers who have made great contributions to society and the country seem to be synonymous with poverty, backwardness and ignorance. Not only did they not get the respect they deserved, but they were also discriminated against. Therefore, to make farming more interesting and farmers more glorious, farmers must earn money and have face.
To make farming more interesting and farmers more glorious, it is necessary to increase farmers' income and make farmers' money bags swell. Increasing farmers' income depends on developing efficient agriculture. It is necessary to boldly break through the restrictions of rules and regulations and plant whatever money comes under the premise of keeping the red line of land. It is necessary to highlight the varieties and regional characteristics, vigorously develop the characteristic breeding industry, and change "vast land and thin materials" into "vast land and abundant materials". It is necessary to have a modern market awareness, highlight the characteristics of varieties, and strengthen the registration of agricultural products. People have no ego, people have their own advantages, people are superior to me, and people are particularly strong; Highlight the characteristics of time, advance or postpone the harvest period; Highlight processing characteristics and develop deep processing, creative product design and packaging design. Increasing farmers' income depends on improving farmers' quality. The key to improving farmers' quality is to attach importance to cultivating "professional farmers". The so-called professional farmers refer to farmers who take farming as their occupation, just as doctors take medical treatment as their occupation and teachers take teaching as their occupation. Wolf, an American anthropologist, believes that unlike traditional farmers, professional farmers completely enter the market, regard agriculture as an industry, and make use of all possible choices to maximize their rewards. The key to cultivating "professional farmers" is to vigorously develop vocational education and provide technical and talent support for beneficial agriculture.
To make farming more interesting and farmers more glorious, we must promote urban-rural integration. For a long time, the difference between urban and rural areas caused by the dual structure of urban and rural areas has not only affected the development of agriculture and rural areas, but also caused great injustice to farmers. Traffic accident compensation's "same life but different price", employment, social security, medical care, education and other areas of people's livelihood, "the same person is different" and other issues make farmers feel inferior. To promote the integration of urban and rural areas, we should use the market to allocate agricultural resources, respect farmers' dominant position, and let farmers become masters of production and market. More importantly, it is necessary to let farmers and citizens enjoy public services "equally", let farmers participate in the "dividend" of balanced distribution reform, let farmers enjoy the fruits of development, and let farmers no longer suffer from social discrimination.
Well-off is not well-off, the key depends on fellow villagers. China should be strong and agriculture should be strong; If China wants beauty, the countryside must be beautiful; If China wants to be rich, farmers must be rich. Only by making farming more interesting and farmers more glorious can China be stronger, China more beautiful, China more prosperous and the Chinese dream come true.
