How to promote agricultural technology and provide services to create a Chinese ecological kitchen in our county

In order to promote the healthy and rapid development of the county's agricultural industry, comprehensively and accurately grasp the county's conditions and people's conditions, and effectively enhance the initiative and feasibility of promoting and applying agricultural science and technology, we adopted information review, individual interviews, and data comparison. In the form, an in-depth investigation was conducted on the promotion and application of agricultural technology in the county, and the following brief analysis was made.

1. Analysis of the Current Situation of Agricultural Technology Extension and Application

(1) Use and Supervision of Agricultural Technology Extension Funds

Last year, the county actively implemented the "Science and Technology to Promote Agriculture" Strategy, strengthen the construction of grassroots agricultural technology extension system, continuously improve the agricultural science and technology extension service system, further strengthen the education and training of farmers and agricultural technicians, and strive to do a good job in agricultural technology promotion. Strictly implement the management regulations on the use of project funds, ensure that special funds are earmarked, establish special accounts for the use of funds, strengthen supervision of project funds, and ensure that all project funds are used for project construction, which better guarantees the development of agricultural technology promotion work and effectively promotes the development of agricultural technology. County industrial development.

(2) Implementation and management of agricultural technology extension projects

The county’s agriculture has implemented the creation of high grain yields, the demonstration and promotion of natural pig raising technology in biological fermentation beds, and the reform and construction of grassroots agricultural technology extension systems. Agricultural technology extension projects such as demonstration counties. In order to implement the project well and ensure that the project is effective. The county has focused on the following aspects:

1. Clarify work responsibilities and strengthen management guidance. Agricultural technology extension projects are diverse and wide-ranging. In accordance with the principles of hierarchical responsibilities and division of labor, we will effectively strengthen management and guide project implementation. Strictly follow the relevant requirements for project implementation, increase management, supervision, inspection, assessment, etc. of the project, and promptly discover and solve problems existing in the implementation.

2. Carry out project inspections to ensure smooth implementation. After most projects enter the critical stage of implementation, in order to ensure implementation progress and quality, agricultural technology extension projects are inspected regularly and irregularly. The inspection adopts the method of first self-inspection and then random inspection, including the availability of funds, project progress, and achieved results.

3. Do a good job summarizing the project and implement performance evaluation. In accordance with the requirements of the "Management Measures", after the project implementation is completed, the relevant departments at the county level will evaluate the project and summarize the overall implementation, effectiveness, and evaluation status of the project.

4. Carefully summarize the results and strengthen typical publicity. The county attaches great importance to project implementation and has established a project leadership and implementation leading group to effectively strengthen leadership, identify responsible departments and specific responsible persons, ensure that each project is implemented, and play a leading role in application demonstration. Excavate and summarize typical examples, and use various media to widely publicize and expand influence.

2. Main achievements and experiences

(1) High investment drives great development. In 2011, the county’s investment in agricultural technology promotion projects reached 5.81 million yuan, including 4.5 million yuan in planting industry, 60,000 yuan in aquaculture, and 1.25 million yuan in animal husbandry. This has better guaranteed the development of agricultural technology promotion work and effectively promoted our development. County-led industrial development. Last year, the high-quality rice industry continued to grow, with an area of ??471,000 acres of rice planted throughout the year, including 150,000 acres of high-quality rice (including special rice for rice flour), 224,000 acres of early rice, 14,000 acres of medium rice, and 233,000 acres of late rice. The output reached 185,600 tons, an increase of 2 from last year.

1. The animal husbandry industry has strong development momentum. The number of live pigs in the county has increased significantly compared with the previous year. This year, the number of live pigs sold has reached 451,000, a year-on-year increase of 22.5%; the number of live pigs in stock is 175,000, a year-on-year increase of 8.5%, including 21,000 reproductive sows, a year-on-year increase of 9.5%. 18,576 beef cattle were released, 5.1812 million poultry were released, 6,026 goats were released, and 18,915 rabbits were released. There are 11 ecological breeding demonstration communities in the county, with 5,031 ecological breeding households.

2. The flue-cured tobacco industry has reached a new record high. The county's tobacco planting area is 28,600 acres, a year-on-year increase of 37%; tobacco leaf purchases are 94,500 tons, a year-on-year increase of 62%; tobacco leaf planting area, purchase volume, purchase amount and tax revenue have reached record highs. It ranks third in the province and second in the city.

3. Vegetable production has achieved remarkable results.

The county has added 8 new affordable commercial vegetable production bases with a contiguous area of ??more than 100 acres, and an additional 300 acres of greenhouse facilities. Among them, there are 3,000 acres of urban support bases, 5,000 acres of township support bases, and 11,000 acres of commercial vegetable bases. A number of experts and large growers have emerged.

4. The aquaculture industry is growing steadily. The county's aquaculture area has stabilized at 34,300 acres. The output of aquatic products reached 14,700 tons, of which the output of special aquatic products is expected to be 1,146 tons, which is basically the same as in 2010 and slightly increased.

5. The special breeding industry is booming. 50 Sophora pig sows were introduced from Fujian to establish 3 Sophora pig breeding demonstration and promotion bases, and more than 5,000 green-shell laying hens were introduced from other places to establish a green-shell laying hen demonstration farm; at the same time, farmers were actively guided to develop bamboo rats, beekeeping, and expensive breeding. Special breeding such as chickens and goats has enabled a large number of farmers to become rich.

6. Leisure and sightseeing agriculture has become a new highlight. In recent years, leisure and sightseeing agriculture in our county has developed vigorously. According to incomplete statistics, as of now, there are 3 modern agricultural science and technology parks, 3 above-scale leisure parks, 12 leisure farms, and 4 picking gardens in the county. There is one water sports center, 6 leisure food processing companies, and more than 30 large and small farmhouses. Leisure and tourism agriculture covers many characteristic leading industries such as grain, tobacco, seed production, pigs, specialty breeding, navel oranges, camellia oleifera, moso bamboo, fruits, vegetables, flowers, etc., showing 6 major types. Currently, different types of leisure and tourism agriculture have become A new bright spot in the development of agriculture and rural areas in our county. Our county has applied for provincial leisure agriculture and rural tourism demonstration county projects.

(2) New technologies create new vitality. In 2011, we will do a solid job in the display of new varieties, the creation of high grain yields, the reform and construction of grassroots agricultural technology extension systems, and continuously expand the scope of promotion and application of new technologies.

(3) The transformation of scientific and technological achievements has achieved remarkable results. The county actively promotes the transformation and application of agricultural technological achievements and promotes the application of experimental demonstration results throughout the county.

(4) Training improves development speed. Increase agricultural technology training and actively organize various agricultural technology promotion and publicity activities. In 2011, an activity was launched to send agricultural science and technology to the countryside, and more than 20 training courses on various applicable technologies were carried out, training more than 4,500 farmers. Through training, the quality of farmers has been comprehensively improved, and a strong atmosphere among farmers in the county has been strengthened to learn science and technology, use science and technology, and promote development.

3. Current main problems and suggestions

(1) Some townships (towns) do not pay enough attention to the promotion and application of agricultural technology. The traditional grassroots science and technology service system was formed under the long-term planned economic system. Although it has developed well after years of reform, it has not broken through the original institutional framework. Agricultural science and technology extension services are still supported by national agricultural science and technology extension agencies at the township level and above. . Township agricultural-related stations failed to play their full role. Some township leaders have the mentality of focusing on industry and neglecting agriculture, and have insufficient understanding of the importance and urgency of implementing "science and technology to promote agriculture". Agricultural technicians are often transferred to non-agricultural technical service work and are assigned to non-agricultural services such as comprehensive management and family planning. Agricultural technology extension business jobs.

(2) Agricultural technology extension facilities are backward and the equipment is crude. Townships generally only have agricultural technology extension equipment distributed by some provincial and municipal projects. Most of them still adopt the original extension methods and service methods of "identification relies on visual inspection, promotion relies on experience, and service relies on mouth", which makes it difficult to scientifically carry out soil fertility monitoring and crop nutrition monitoring. Analysis, seed, fertilizer, pesticide quality inspection and other science and technology extension services.

(3) The depth and breadth of agricultural technology promotion, publicity and education work are not enough. Although a large number of measures have been taken, promotion efforts have been intensified, and breakthroughs have been made, gaps still exist and many efforts are far from sufficient. Especially in terms of the forms and means of publicity and education, they are still relatively simple. They stop at the point and remain superficial. There is no good long-term publicity mechanism and the operability is not strong. Most of the publicity and education is still centralized training, Distributing technical materials, media publicity, etc., there is not enough discussion on the publicity and education methods for farmers at different levels, which restricts the depth and breadth of agricultural technology promotion work in the county and affects the development of modern agriculture.

(4) Lack of professional talents and low service quality.

At present, there are generally 3-4 people in a township engaged in grassroots science and technology promotion services, and the number is only 5, but most of them are managers. However, there are fewer real professional and technical personnel. A considerable number of them are older, have outdated knowledge, have few opportunities for training, lack business concepts under market economy conditions, and do not know how to collect, organize and analyze network information. They mainly rely on experience to engage in business. and services, thus failing to improve service quality. In addition, with the continuous adjustment of rural industrial structure and the rapid development of professional technology, there is a serious shortage of professional talents in special breeding and planting, agricultural and sideline product processing, biological agriculture, network technology, etc., resulting in the lack of technical information services that farmers want.

In view of the existing problems in the current agricultural technology promotion and application work in our county, the following opinions and suggestions are hereby put forward:

(1) Update the concept of development and enhance service awareness. Agriculture is an important part of the national economy and a basic industry related to the overall situation of reform, development and stability. Giving full play to the role of science and technology as the primary productive force is the fundamental choice for traditional agriculture to move towards modern agriculture. Agricultural efficiency improvement, farmer income increase, and rural economic development must rely on the application and promotion of agricultural science and technology. Further strengthen leadership, organize carefully, adopt various forms and open various channels to popularize science to farmers, provide farmers with scientific and technological information, constantly improve and strengthen the construction of agricultural science and technology teams, implement job target management responsibility systems, enrich and strengthen agricultural science and technology We will strengthen the technical work force, invigorate the operating mechanism, and provide good services for farmers to promote the application of agricultural science and technology.

(2) Increase the training of farmers and improve their scientific and technological quality. Farmers are not only the main body in promoting agricultural science and technology, but also the direct beneficiaries of agricultural science and technology. Only by improving their scientific and technological quality can agriculture develop rapidly. Therefore, on the basis of consolidating the previous science and technology training, we need to change the focus of science and technology training to household technology, change centralized training to household training, change classroom lectures to on-site Q&A, and gradually teach technical methods step by step and face-to-face. Form a scientific and technological group model in which experts lead large households, large households lead small households, and farmers help farmers. At the same time, we should focus on cultivating core households, typical households and demonstration households, so that farmers can see, touch, learn and do through the demonstration of key households. Continue to play the role of science and technology demonstration park as a carrier, rely on the demonstration effect of the park to bring the most intuitive identification of scientific and technological achievements to farmers, and gradually form a science and technology demonstration chain with county demonstration areas, township demonstration lands, and villages with demonstration households.

(3) Increase capital investment and improve the agricultural technology extension team

Based on the current financial difficulties at the township level, the training funds for agricultural technology extension personnel will be included in the county financial budget , establish special funds for agricultural technology training, and conduct hierarchical and multi-content continuing re-education for existing agricultural technicians engaged in public welfare services every year to improve their quality. In addition, a group of outstanding young and middle-aged agricultural technicians should be selected to go to agricultural colleges and universities for full-time or semi-full-time further study, so as to accelerate the training of a group of senior agricultural technical talents and make them become leaders in promoting agricultural technology at the grassroots level.

First, increase investment in scientific and technological service facilities. Further improve office conditions, purchase necessary facilities (equipment), and change the situation of "one mouth, two legs" in agricultural technology extension work. The second is to continue to carry out the construction of science and technology household projects. Agricultural technicians must practice various agricultural technology extension techniques to farmers, teach farmers to learn, practice for farmers, and lead farmers to work, so as to create a group of science and technology demonstration households with a sense of scientific and technological innovation and a strong level of scientific and technological application. , it can really play the role of agricultural technology carrier and demonstration radiation in the local area, drive all farmers to carry out scientific farming, and form a long-term mechanism for the promotion of agricultural science and technology. The third is to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of scientific and technological personnel. Existing agricultural science and technology personnel must be truly dedicated full-time and given corresponding powers, and a certain amount of working funds must be guaranteed for those who undertake science and technology planning projects. Vigorously introduce talents and encourage them to flow to the grassroots level and the front line of agricultural production to lead and establish various agricultural science and technology promotion entities.

(4) Innovate promotion concepts and improve promotion methods. We should start from the needs of farmers and actively explore new ways to promote agricultural technology with the goal of helping farmers increase their income and increase agricultural efficiency.

On the one hand, we should make full use of the wide coverage of county TV stations to release agricultural monitoring and forecasting and fertilization and pesticide technology for free, and provide technology, information, training and other services to farmers intuitively and quickly. On the other hand, by strengthening the construction of agricultural science and technology demonstration bases, speeding up the introduction, testing, demonstration and promotion of new crop varieties, we should show it to farmers and lead them to work, improve the conversion rate and household penetration rate of agricultural science and technology, and guide farmers to rely on Technology to get rid of poverty and become rich
