I am the author of Baijia @SannongXiaoxiao, focusing on sharing agricultural knowledge, rural life and culture. Today I want to share with you a story about agricultural output, that is, who is the proposer of "10,000 catties per mu".
The concept of "10,000 catties per mu" first appeared in China in the 50s of the 20th century. At that time, China was in the early stage of socialist construction, and the national leaders put forward the slogan of "Great Leap Forward" to encourage all parts of the country to speed up economic development and increase agricultural output. In this context, in order to meet the above requirements, some local governments and agricultural departments have exaggerated agricultural output and put forward the goal of "10,000 catties per mu".
However, this goal was not realistic under the agricultural conditions of the time. In order to achieve this goal, some localities have adopted the method of false production declarations and deliberately exaggerated actual production. This behavior has led to serious consequences, not only for the state to misjudge agricultural production, but also for the country's macro decision-making. Later, under the leadership of Comrade ***, our country gradually restored the ideological line of seeking truth from facts and corrected the mistakes made in the Great Leap Forward.
Although the goal of "yielding 10,000 catties per mu" was not achieved at that time, it became an important lesson in the history of China's agricultural development. Today, the level of agricultural science and technology in China has been greatly improved, and a very high agricultural output has been achieved. However, in the process of development, we must still keep in mind the principle of seeking truth from facts, and we must not exaggerate the output so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Readers, what do you think of the proposer of "10,000 catties per mu"? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area, and we will work together on the road of agricultural development.
