Leverage policy "Dongfeng" Agricultural Machinery Cooperative Development

[ China Agricultural Machinery Industry News ] Just after the Lunar New Year, the Central No. 1 document will be released as scheduled. This year's No. 1 Document of the Central Committee focused on the goal of “deeply promoting structural reforms in the supply side of agriculture, accelerating the development of new kinetic energy for agricultural and rural development, and creating a new situation in agricultural modernization”, and detailed the reform direction of the “three rural” structural adjustment in 2017.

Among them, actively developing moderate-scale operations and vigorously cultivating new agricultural business entities and service entities has become one of the priorities for promoting rural reform and development. As a new type of socialized service activity active in agricultural production lines, agricultural machinery cooperatives are playing an irreplaceable role in promoting China's agricultural modernization and leading farmers to become rich. The policies on the development of moderate-scale operation of rural areas released in the No. 1 document this year are undoubtedly the same as the development of agricultural machinery cooperatives.

Stabilizing grain, excellent economy, and expanding into a cooperative development

In the countryside, the end of the year means that the new year’s farming is about to begin. For Xin Junyin, this year’s farmer’s busyness came earlier. “The dumplings of the 30th year did not have time to eat at home. The villagers who worked outside the hometown returned to their hometown for the New Year, eager to talk about the land, and took me home from the phone. Called away. This is my third year of Chinese New Year without eating dumplings at home." As the chairman of the Wencun Agricultural Machinery Cooperative in Yutian County, Hebei Province, Xin Junyin has taken on more responsibility than ordinary farmers. He told reporters that he began to farm at the age of 17 and began to transfer land at the age of 23 to 52 years old. Over the years, he has been studying the land and looking for ways to make farmers rich. "Agricultural development is inseparable from mechanization, and mechanization is the vanguard of agricultural development." Through years of accumulated experience, Xin Junyin summed up this conclusion. So, led by him, founded the Wencun Agricultural Machinery Cooperative. At the beginning of the establishment of the cooperative, the land transfer and agricultural machinery operation services were the main ones, and the benefits were good. However, in recent years, with the continuous improvement of the level of agricultural mechanization in China, the benefits of providing agricultural machinery operation services to growers have been much worse than before. In the past two years, the country has adjusted the corn planting area. The corn purchase price is in line with the market. Most of the 7,300 mu of land that was originally transferred by the cooperatives used wheat and corn rotation planting structures. Undoubtedly, it is not advisable to continue the development path of “land circulation + agricultural machinery operation service”.

As the chairman of the cooperative, Xin Junyin began to find a new way out. Last year, the cooperative took out 3,000 mu of land to plant corn silage and signed a contract with the local Hengran animal husbandry. Xin Junyin calculated an account. The silage purchase price per ton was more than 300 yuan, and the average yield per mu was about 3,000 tons. Compared with corn, it is more labor-saving. In addition to planting silage, the cooperative also planted 1,000 acres of cash crops, including local specialty Yutian cabbage, mustard and so on. In the constant innovation, we explore the road suitable for the future development of cooperatives.

In this year's No. 1 document, the adjustment of grain and forage planting structure was proposed. In accordance with the requirements of stable grain, excellent economics and expanding feeding, we will speed up the construction of a ternary planting structure for the coordinated development of grain, grain and feed. This also pointed out the direction for the development of agricultural machinery cooperatives. The Wencun Agricultural Machinery Cooperative is the epitome of the development of many agricultural machinery cooperatives. Ningxia Yinchuan Jingusui Agricultural Machinery Professional Cooperative has focused its development on silage harvest in recent years. The main project of the Qilian Mountain Forage Machining Professional Cooperative in Shandan County, Gansu Province is the mechanized planting and harvesting of pasture, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province. The straw straw mechanized processing cooperatives have enhanced the development of cooperatives by mechanized harvesting and processing corn green feed. These changes indicate that the current development of agricultural machinery cooperatives is no longer closely related to traditional food crops. Stabilizing grain, excellent economics, and expanding feed have become another way for today's agricultural machinery cooperatives to improve their vitality and resist risks.

Extend the industrial chain to promote brand building

"With the agricultural machinery cooperatives as the mainstay, the combination of farmers' cooperatives, large grain growers and agricultural science and technology companies, complementary advantages and common development are the main modes of our current development." Xin Junyin told reporters. In the interview, the reporter found that at present, many agricultural machinery cooperatives have taken a diversified development path, relying on the advantages of agricultural machinery cooperative equipment, funds, personnel, etc., constantly expanding the development field, extending the industrial chain, and placing "eggs" in different baskets. in.

As a model society, the Zhongli Agricultural Machinery Professional Cooperative of Lanling County, Shandong Province is a model for diversified development. Shandong is a large province for corn planting in China. The national policy of adjusting corn planting area has certain influence on the Zhongli Agricultural Machinery Professional Cooperative in Shandong. "In order to reduce the impact of the downward adjustment of corn prices on our land, the cooperatives have reduced the area planted with corn and increased the cultivation of sorghum, soybeans, millet and other crops," said Wang Xiangcheng, chairman of the cooperative. Don't underestimate the sorghum, soybeans, and millet in Wang Xiangcheng's mouth. These crops have developed new markets for cooperative development.

In 2016, the cooperative registered the Yimeng Zhongli Agricultural Products Co., Ltd. to produce noodles and other foods. The wheat used in the noodles produced by the company is all planted by cooperatives. “As the saying goes, 'the pigs can't make pigs', the cooperatives use their own wheat to produce agricultural products, which greatly increases the added value of agricultural products.” Wang Xiangcheng said, “ Since the company has just been established for a year, it is still in the process of testing the water. However, this road is not wrong.” He also told reporters that the sorghum planted by the cooperative was sent to a nearby winery to process the wine into soybeans. Was sent to a nearby oil plant, constantly looking for sales for the crops they planted, and greatly increasing the added value of the cooperative production of agricultural products.
