Is it true that handing over land to cooperatives for planting and farmers acting as "hands off managers" not only does their income not decrease, but also increases? What is the logic behind this? The Awakening of Insects has passed, and the Spring Equinox is approaching, which is the critical season for spring plowing and preparation. After visiting multiple places in Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia, reporters found that many local farmers only signed the agreement, not only completing the preparation work for spring plowing, but also not having to worry about it until the autumn harvest. Bada Shanggui, a farmer from Yihe Prague Gacha in Khorchin Left Banner, is such a "hands off shopkeeper". He has been entrusting his 63 acres of land to a cooperative led by the Gacha Party branch since the previous year. Once the land is entrusted, I can free up my hands to focus on farming Bada still said, 'I am still running agricultural machinery in the cooperative, and I earn an extra 30000 yuan in wages in a year.' In 2024, led by the Yihe Prague Gacha Party Branch, together with 5 Gacha and 12 small groups in the Sumu, the Bahuta Sumu Party Branch was established to lead the cooperative union, achieving full custody of 17200 acres of arable land. This year, we are preparing to manage 50000 acres of arable land. We started signing agreements with farmers door-to-door before the Spring Festival and are now nearing completion, "said Liu Jinshan, Deputy Sumu of Bahuta Sumu. Why can increasing production and income be achieved by entrusting? Liu Jinshan calculated an account. lower corporate costs. Liu Jinshan said that the cooperative led by the party branch stepped forward and, due to the large area of land handled, had bargaining power and significantly reduced various costs. "On March 7th, we joined forces with representatives of 9 village cooperatives to negotiate cooperation with agricultural material manufacturers in Heilongjiang and Jilin. The cost of agricultural materials per mu of land was 550 yuan, which is 50 yuan cheaper than farmers purchasing them themselves. After land consolidation, small fields became large fields, and the ridges of each household disappeared. Corn was planted all over, which really increased the planting area and allowed each household to harvest more grain, "said Liu Jinshan. On technology. With the integration of land, large-scale mechanized operations and the promotion of advanced planting technologies can be used, which makes it natural to increase production and income, "Bada still said. In Chejiazi Gacha, Yaolin Maodu Town, Keerqin Left Banner, Chen Huricha, the head of the Chetian Planting Professional Cooperative, is receiving newly transported tractors. Two brand new tractors are just over one person tall with just the wheels. Chen Huricha said that this type of tractor is fuel-efficient and efficient, and can grow over 300 acres of land in a day. The Chetian Planting Professional Cooperative adopts a full custody model, charging farmers a custody fee of 480 yuan per mu of land, and all the harvest in the land belongs to the farmers. From sowing to sales, the cooperative provides one-stop services, and villagers basically don't have to worry. The agricultural machinery is bought by the cooperative themselves, and we have all the equipment from planting to harvesting, including tractors, sprayers, rotary tillers, seeders... "Chen Huricha said. The benefits brought by the trusteeship model are considerable, with an average net profit of 60 to 70 yuan per mu of land, so that the cooperative's agricultural machinery can be continuously updated and replaced. The only thing that troubled him was that the newly expanded 1000 square meter agricultural machinery warehouse was already full. Having tasted the sweetness of land trusteeship, more and more people are starting to participate. From 2022 to 2025, the cooperative has developed rapidly in recent years, with the number of members increasing from 5 to 20, and the land trusteeship area increasing from 3000 acres to 20000 acres, "said Chen Huricha. The land is still the same as before, with new forms of management, such as new corn varieties, new agricultural machinery and equipment, and new planting technologies, all appearing in the farmland of Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia, bringing new vitality to the land.
