first, the status quo of agricultural mechanization in Yanjiao Town
Yanjiao Town is located in the northwest of Liuzhi Special Zone, which is one of the five established towns in Liuzhi Special Zone, 23km away from the resident of the special zone. The town * * * governs 25 administrative villages and a community neighborhood committee, with 14,555 households with 6,56 people, including 43,56 agricultural people. There are Han, Yi, Miao and Hui people living in the territory. The town covers a total area of 131.4km2, with mountainous terrain and 36,238 mu of cultivated land. It has a subtropical climate, with no severe cold in winter, no vinegar in summer and abundant rainfall, which is suitable for crop growth. The traffic in the town is convenient, and the highway network connecting every village has basically taken shape, which is the main line of the six (branch) Na (Yong) and six (branch) Zhi (Jin) highways.
Yanjiao is a typical agricultural town in mountainous areas. In recent years, the party committee and government of the town have adhered to the guidance of Theory of Three Represents, adhered to the policy of "grasping with both hands and being hard with both hands", persisted in keeping pace with the times, and made bold innovations. Increase the promotion of agricultural machinery, stabilize grain production, and intensify the adjustment of agricultural industrial structure. There are more than 5 mini-cultivators in the town, and there are 3 full-time agricultural machinery administrators in the town's agricultural comprehensive service center. There are 5 village-level agricultural machinery operators with technical secondary school education, including 15 with technical secondary school education, 485 with junior high school education, 21 with 4-5 years old, 263 with 3-4 years old and 27 under 3 years old.
Second, the achievements in the popularization and application of agricultural machinery
1. The popularization and application system of agricultural machinery has gradually developed. As an important force for the government to guide farmers to use advanced and applicable agricultural technologies, agricultural machinery extension system has played a great role in the process of developing rural productive forces, building a new socialist countryside, promoting agricultural efficiency, increasing farmers' income and promoting the transformation from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture. There are 35 micro-cultivators and 45 agricultural machinery maintenance personnel in the town. Have agricultural mechanization operation service professional households? 5, the continuous improvement of agricultural mechanization promotion system has promoted the rapid development of agricultural mechanization in the county.
2. The level of agricultural mechanization has been continuously improved. In 211, the town completed 3 mu of mechanized farming.
3. the popularization and application of agricultural machinery has been vigorously promoted. In order to change the means of agricultural production and enable farmers to fully enjoy the achievements of modern science and technology, in recent years, the town government has made full use of the strength of the whole town, laid a good brand of agricultural machinery promotion, and conscientiously implemented the principles and policies of the higher-level government on agricultural mechanization. The town government has established an agricultural mechanization leading group with leaders in charge of agricultural work as the team leader and agricultural centers, water conservancy stations and other relevant departments as members to guide the agricultural machinery work in the town. By the end of 211, 3 micro-tillers had been popularized in the whole town, making the agricultural machinery popularization in Yanjiao Town rank among the top in the whole region.
Third, the problems and difficulties faced by agricultural machinery popularization
1. The state has insufficient investment in agricultural mechanization
First, there is no special fund for agricultural mechanization development in district-level finance; Second, the town agricultural machinery extension personnel have no business funds and cannot carry out normal agricultural machinery extension work; Third, the higher-level agricultural mechanization projects have less funds, and the demonstration and promotion projects are difficult to implement; Fourth, there is no experimental demonstration fund, and the agricultural center is unable to purchase and promote the demonstration prototype; Fifth, there is no training fund, and the training equipment and facilities are simple; Sixth, the low purchasing power of farmers has seriously restricted the development of agricultural mechanization in our town.
2. The infrastructure of agricultural mechanization is poor
My town belongs to a mountainous area, with complex topography, large adjacent height difference and small farmland. In addition, after the land is contracted to households, the farmland is further divided, the land is arranged in flowers and scattered, and there are few mechanized roads and poor road conditions, which is not suitable for agricultural machinery operation, resulting in limited agricultural machinery operation, low efficiency and high cost, which affects the promotion effect of agricultural machinery.
3. The agricultural machinery extension system is not perfect
First, the agricultural machinery extension organization is not perfect. Except for the agricultural machinery extension training institution set up by the Agricultural Machinery Bureau of the Special Zone, there is no special agricultural machinery management and extension department in the township. After the township agricultural machinery extension station was abolished, it was merged into the township agricultural comprehensive service center, and there was no special business fund, so it was not suitable for the current development of agricultural machinery to do other work. Second, there is a shortage of agricultural machinery technical personnel, and the agricultural machinery system has shown aging knowledge, less agricultural machinery professionals, less continuing education and training, and generally low technical level. It is extremely incompatible with the current agricultural machinery promotion work. Third, agricultural machinery maintenance services can't keep up. The agricultural machinery maintenance points and promotion operations in the town are small in scale and few in number. And mostly manual maintenance, lack of professional maintenance equipment, which brings inconvenience to purchase users.
IV. Countermeasures and Suggestions
1. Fully understand the position and function of agricultural mechanization
Agricultural mechanization is the foundation of agricultural modernization, an important symbol of advanced productive forces in rural areas, and an important material basis for transforming traditional agriculture and building a new socialist countryside in an all-round way. To build modern agriculture and improve the level of agricultural productivity and the quality of agricultural products, it is necessary to equip agriculture with modern agricultural machinery. Agricultural mechanization is indispensable to the adjustment of agricultural structure and the implementation of agricultural sustainable development strategy. To increase farmers' income and realize the transfer of rural labor force, we must rely on the substitution and pulling role of agricultural machinery.
2. Strengthening the construction of agricultural mechanization technology extension system at the grass-roots level
The national agricultural mechanization technology extension system at the county and township levels at the grass-roots level is to introduce, test, demonstrate and popularize new agricultural mechanization technologies and new machines in their respective regions. It is necessary to turn the basic agricultural mechanization technology extension department into a showcase of new technologies, new machines and tools, new achievements, a pilot base for introduction and promotion, a platform for training and educating farmers, and a window for publishing wealth information. We must effectively solve the backward appearance of the existing township agricultural mechanization extension department that there is no base for experiment, no place for training and no stage for promotion. First, it is necessary to innovate the employment mechanism, equip professionals, promote competition for posts, gradually implement qualification examination and assessment, hold certificates for posts, improve distribution methods, promote performance linkage, publicize assessment results, and implement all-round social supervision. Second, it is necessary to establish a stable and efficient agricultural machinery socialized extension service system, strengthen the investment in infrastructure construction at the township (town) level, guarantee the promotion funds, implement various treatments for agricultural machinery extension personnel, and stabilize the agricultural machinery extension team. The third is to explore various forms of agricultural machinery popularization and application models and extend the extension service network. According to the principle of "government guidance, market action and standardized management", we should cultivate the agricultural machinery promotion market, focus on building agricultural machinery promotion brands, improve the socialized agricultural machinery promotion service system, develop village-level extension service networks, and improve the scale, organization and mechanization level of agricultural production.
3. Pay attention to the popularization of agricultural mechanization technology at the grass-roots level
At present, the rural economy of our town is in an important period of building a new countryside and a new rock foot, which is also a good development opportunity for the popularization of agricultural mechanization at the grass-roots level. Governments at all levels should attach great importance to this work, strengthen the awareness of leadership in science and education, and strengthen the government's leadership over the popularization of agricultural mechanization at the grass-roots level. Fully guarantee the promotion funds of grass-roots agricultural machinery personnel, and create all favorable conditions to develop agricultural machinery promotion. Agricultural machinery extension departments at all levels should take the initiative to be good government staff, actively participate in local economic construction, and lose no time in popularizing advanced and applicable agricultural machinery scientific and technological achievements into agricultural production practice to promote the development of rural economy in our county.
4. Strengthen the education and training of grass-roots agricultural machinery extension
First, we should strengthen the knowledge updating and technical training for grass-roots agricultural machinery extension personnel who insist on the front line of production and carry out technology popularization activities all the year round, and carry out targeted training according to different age structures and professional title structures, change their knowledge structure, strengthen knowledge learning in modern market economy management and improve their professional quality. Second, direct users of new technologies and machines of agricultural machinery should be given theoretical teaching and on-the-spot operation training, so that they can better and faster understand and master the theoretical points and use and maintenance skills of agricultural mechanization technology.
