Let a good harvest bring good income
2025-07-18
Nowadays, wheat harvest is becoming more and more technological. The harvester is equipped with Beidou navigation and driven straight; The artificial intelligence platform seizes the harvesting opportunity and commands the machine to descend to the ground; Where are the harvesters all over the country busy? It's easy to see on the dispatch platform; The wheat grains have also fallen less, giving me more confidence in a bountiful harvest. This summer harvest, more than 800000 harvesters are running in the fields, with an efficiency increase of over 30% compared to five years ago. But it's not without troubles. Someone posted a bill online - they had contracted nearly 3000 acres of land, worked hard for half a year, and finally calculated the net profit of only 20000 to 30000 yuan. Fortunately, there is still income during the autumn harvest, and the government also provides subsidies for grain cultivation, otherwise it is easy to dampen the enthusiasm of farmers for grain cultivation. On one hand, high technology brings a bountiful harvest, and on the other hand, there are not very substantial profits, revealing the two major "problems" in the development of modern agriculture: the cost burden and who will share the input cost of high technology? What should we do if the grain cannot be sold at a high price due to the balance between production and sales? To truly bring good income from a good harvest, we need to come up with good solutions on both ends. The first hurdle: the "high threshold" of new agricultural work, who will take the lead? Nowadays, in order to improve efficiency in farming, we can no longer rely on the old trick of "facing the yellow soil and turning back to the sky". The more we pursue modern agriculture, the more we need to invest a large amount of capital. Regardless of the rent for farmland, high-yield seeds, pollution-free fertilizers, biodegradable pesticides, scientific watering, or machine harvesting, all of them are significant expenses. This' high threshold 'must be weighed carefully. Agricultural technology and machinery are certainly good, but if they cannot be used or are unwilling to be used, they will not be able to play their role in promoting high grain yields. To enable cultivators to enter the field lightly, it is necessary to build a community of diverse participation and risk sharing. Policies should be pulled in. The agricultural machinery subsidies provided by the government have brought many good machines into the village, which is a tangible benefit. In the future, it is necessary to further improve the subsidy mechanism and explore the inclusion of more intelligent devices and digital platform services in the scope of policy support. For example, Xinxiang, Henan Province has built the "Tian Guan Jia" platform, which utilizes Beidou navigation and digital technology to not only manage and protect farmland, but also dispatch agricultural machinery for farmers. This intensive service model itself is a beneficial exploration of optimizing costs. Enterprises may also lend a helping hand. Enterprises are not just sellers of equipment, but also organizers and service providers of the industry. Some have already taken the lead in breaking new ground by launching "hosting services". Farmers contribute to the land, enterprises contribute to technology and management, and the harvest is distributed proportionally. In this way, farmers do not have to empty their wallets, and enterprises can also have stable bases and businesses. The country is also encouraging the cultivation of such "leading enterprises" to contribute more in the industrial chain and lower the threshold for farmers to use new technologies. The second hurdle: How to prevent "cheap grain harming farmers" after "full grain storage"? The high yield brought by technology, if it cannot achieve high quality and good price in the market, its value is equivalent to hitting a "white stripe" on the field. One acre of land can yield up to a thousand pounds of wheat, but with a high yield, the market is prone to "sneezing", resulting in oversupply and inability to sell at a high price. This hurdle needs to be overcome by breaking away from the old path of selling raw materials and finding a new path towards marketization. We need to find a way to transform food. Wheat is not only sold directly as a way out, but can also enter factories from the ground and be transformed into high-quality flour, specialty noodles, and instant convenience foods that can be opened and eaten. The longer the industrial chain, the higher the value. Leading enterprises lead the way and build processing plants in the fields, turning good food into good commodities. Only then can the income of grain growers be guaranteed and sustainable. To sell good quality at a good price. The wheat grown with Beidou technology and managed by an intelligent platform will definitely have guaranteed quality. By establishing a brand and obtaining certifications, quality itself can be exchanged for money. Only good products that are full of technological content and safety guarantees can sell at a good "value". Ultimately, technology is the "golden key" to increasing production, but to unlock the "door to wealth" for increasing income, having the "key" alone is not enough. Someone has to help share the investment cost at the front, and someone has to pave the way to the market at the back. Only when farmers can afford new technology and earn good income through it, will the drama of technology promoting income increase become louder and louder. (New Society)
