Recently, at the Tianyuan Family Farm in Dehui City, the smile of the harvest hung on the face of Yang Bochuan, the person in charge of the farm: "Last year, the family farm owned 350 hectares of land in circulation, nearly 400 hectares of land trusteeship, and harvested 27,800 catties of corn per hectare. According to Yang Bochuan, compared with the land trusteeship area of more than ten hectares in 2022, the trusteeship area in 2023 will be greatly increased, "Dehui City's 'land trusteeship has a subsidy', and we will calculate the subsidy amount in the trusteeship fee to subsidize farmers, and farmers' enthusiasm for trusteeship will be improved." "The centralized and contiguous trusteeship of land has realized large-scale, intensive, mechanized and specialized production, and the one-stop service of "cultivation and harvest prevention" has made farmers "hands-off shopkeepers".
How is it possible to trust land to family farms at a lower cost than farmers to grow their own crops? Yang Bochuan gave the answer in four words - "economies of scale". Yang Bochuan said that after the peasant households entrusted the land to the family farm, the family farm purchased seeds and chemical fertilizers in a unified manner, and implemented unified management in the production links such as "cultivation and harvest prevention," which effectively reduced production costs. In particular, after the land is concentrated and contiguous, the mechanized operation efficiency is higher and the operation cost is lower. The cost savings are shared between the family farm and the farmer.
In recent years, more and more farmers in Dehui City have recognized land trusteeship services, and the benefits of trusteeship services have been verified in Wenxing Agricultural Materials Professional Cooperative. "In 2019, only more than 20 farmers entrusted 30 hectares of land to us with the mentality of giving it a try, and the land yield was very high that year, which was widely recognized by farmers. In 2020, the cooperative's land trust grew to 100 hectares; In 2023, the cooperative's land trust has reached more than 500 hectares. Zhang Wenxing, head of Wenxing Agricultural Materials Professional Cooperative, said.
The harvest is good, and the confidence is full. Zhang Wenxing said that this year, the cooperative will actively promote the whole process of mechanized operation and socialized custody services, and increase corn storage and sales business, expand the scale of production and operation, and strive for stable grain production and increased production, and bumper harvests year after year.
Land trusteeship services liberate farmers from manual labor, increase their incomes, and achieve a virtuous circle of industrial scale. Zhang Wenxing said that under the first-class policy of benefiting the people, cooperatives should work harder to make farmers' lives better and better!
