　　Doing a good job in spring ploughing production and winning a bumper harvest in agriculture is of great significance to winning the battle against poverty and building a well-off society in an all-round way. The reporter learned that due to the epidemic, the current agricultural production faces some outstanding difficulties. But the more complicated the situation, the more we must stabilize agriculture. Moreover, there are still many favorable conditions for stabilizing agricultural production.

　　At present, in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, winter wheat has turned green, and spring field management has begun; In Jiangnan, rape flowers are about to bloom one after another; In South China and Southwest China, some crops have begun to be sown in spring; In the northeast, some places are planning to prepare soil for farming. In the vast vegetable greenhouses and livestock pens, the pace of agricultural production in spring has never stopped.

　　The more complicated the situation, the more we should stabilize agriculture. "This year is a special year. Doing a good job in spring ploughing and winning a bumper harvest in agriculture is of great significance to winning the battle against poverty and building a well-off society in an all-round way." Han Changfu, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that it is necessary to adhere to the "two mistakes" in epidemic prevention and control and agricultural production, ensure the normal and orderly agricultural production in spring, resolutely fight the tough battle of agricultural harvest in the year of preventing epidemic and winning a well-off life, and ensure that the key tasks of agricultural and rural development are completed as scheduled.

　　Play the agricultural card well and stabilize the basic disk

　　In the past few days, agricultural machinery has roared in the farmland of Zhenqingmei Planting Professional Cooperative in Dongshan Village, Penggao Town, Shangli County, Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province, and agricultural hand Hu Ruhai has driven the cultivator to shuttle through the fields, and a piece of farmland has become flat. The farmers on the side took advantage of the fine weather to clear the land that had been finished by the machine out of the ditch and sort it into pieces. Li Haijun, chairman of the cooperative, said that the cooperative has 116 mu of farmland, and it is planned to arrange all the farmland in one week without delaying the next planting plan.

　　A year’s plan starts with spring. Liu Changquan, director of the Industrial Economics Office of the Institute of Rural Development of China Academy of Social Sciences, believes that doing a good job in agricultural production is the material basis for coordinating the prevention and control of epidemic situation and economic and social development. Different from industrial production, the object of agricultural production is living organisms, which has its natural laws, and the farming time is urgent and can not be delayed. Agricultural production in spring involves many varieties and a wide range. The area of spring sown grain accounts for more than half of the whole year, and the output of summer grain accounts for about a quarter of the whole year; Spring is the peak season for livestock and poultry to replenish livestock and poultry, and the protection of meat, eggs and milk cannot be separated from the spring.

　　The reporter learned that due to the epidemic, the current agricultural production faces some outstanding difficulties. In some areas, it is difficult for agricultural materials to reach the village, and it is difficult for farmers to go to the fields, which has affected food production to some extent. In some areas, the circulation of important agricultural products such as "vegetable basket" is blocked, vegetables and fruits are unsalable in some areas, live poultry transportation is prohibited in some places, and the normal supply, transportation, slaughter and sales channels of poultry are blocked. In some provinces, it is difficult to sell milk and fish, especially for new agricultural subjects such as family farms, farmers’ cooperatives and leading agricultural enterprises, which are generally faced with difficulties in employment and expensive employment, and encounter difficulties in production and operation.

　　But at the same time, the reporter found that there are still many favorable conditions for stabilizing agricultural production. On the one hand, the policy has support. The central government has continued to support grain production. China has maintained the minimum purchase price of rice and wheat, and the subsidy policy for corn and soybean producers has been generally stable. The purchase subsidy for agricultural machinery has increased, which is conducive to mobilizing farmers’ enthusiasm for farming. Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has put forward a series of policies and measures on the stable production and supply of "vegetable basket" products, spring ploughing and preparation for ploughing, the resumption of aquaculture and the connection between production and marketing of agricultural products. On the other hand, agricultural resources are guaranteed. It is estimated that the demand for hybrid corn and hybrid rice seeds in China this year will be 1.06 billion and 210 million kilograms respectively, and the available seeds will be 1.64 billion and 400 million kilograms respectively. The supply of pesticides and fertilizers is generally guaranteed. It is estimated that more than 22 million sets of various agricultural machinery can be put into use nationwide, and the mechanized tillage rate and mechanized sowing rate of grain and oil crops are over 90% and 55% respectively.

　　Develop planting industry and keep the "rice bag"

　　The latest agricultural situation dispatch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that the crops in the field are growing well in the country. The area of winter wheat is basically stable, with 11 major winter wheat producing provinces accounting for 83.4%, an increase of 2.7 percentage points over the same period of last year, and the growth of seedlings is better than that of last year. At present, winter wheat in most parts of the north is still in the wintering period. The area of winter rape is more than 92 million mu, up by 2.7 million mu year-on-year. The first-and second-class seedlings in the main producing areas account for 83.3%, up by 1.3 percentage points year-on-year. At present, winter rape in the Yangtze River basin has entered the bud stage.

　　Heilongjiang is the largest province in grain production. At this time, the black land gradually broke the silence. "The crop planting area in the province is expected to remain above 220 million mu, including more than 210 million mu of grain crops." Wang Yongkang, deputy governor of Heilongjiang Province, introduced that Heilongjiang has opened a green channel for agricultural materials, and adopted measures such as special person in charge, special car transportation, special line driving and special person pick-up and drop-off to ensure smooth transportation. Using new media such as Yinong Information Agency and Agricultural Big Data Platform, we will adopt new methods of preparing for farming such as online guidance, ordering, training and loans, so as to prevent and control the epidemic situation and prepare for farming. At present, spring ploughing seeds, pesticides and diesel oil have been put in place, 75% of chemical fertilizers have arrived, and 80% of funds have been raised.

　　Shandong is a major province of wheat production, and 58.6 million mu of wheat is the key period of field management in spring. "At present, the seedling situation in Shandong Province is generally good, and the first and second types of seedlings account for 83% of the total area. In order to stabilize the development of grain production, last year, the province took the stability of grain production as an important indicator, incorporated it into the rural revitalization assessment system, and gradually compacted the responsibility for food security. " Yu Guoan, vice governor of Shandong Province, said that this year, the assessment indicators of grain production will be improved, the assessment efforts will be intensified, and the enthusiasm of grass-roots governments for attaching importance to agriculture and grasping grain will be mobilized. At the same time, we will study and issue implementation opinions on effectively strengthening the construction of high-standard farmland and improving the national food security guarantee capacity, and carry out the green, high-quality and efficient creation of grain in the whole system to continuously improve the level of grain production.

　　Farming time waits for no one, so we should pay close attention to preparing for spring ploughing. Pan Wenbo, director of the Planting Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that it is necessary to effectively stabilize the grain planting area, promote the introduction of temporary subsidy measures, guide the southern region to resume double-cropping rice, and strive to ensure that the area of early rice is not lower than last year. This year’s structural adjustment will not reduce the grain area, corn should be stabilized, the pilot project of crop rotation and fallow will be adjusted appropriately, and grain feeding will mainly support the farming-pastoral ecotone in the north. Affected by the epidemic, the production and operation of seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, etc. are blocked. It is necessary to promote agricultural production enterprises to speed up the resumption of production, open stores as soon as possible, and establish a "green channel" for point-to-point supply and transportation to ensure that they can reach the village before spring ploughing. Strengthen the assistance and guidance for large-scale business entities and promote "one-stop" production custody services.

　　Stabilize the aquaculture industry and ensure the supply of meat, eggs and milk

　　Meat, eggs and milk are the main products of animal husbandry production, and they are also the focus of the people’s "food basket". Recently, all localities and departments have stepped up efforts to continue to promote the incorporation of breeding land into the management of facility agricultural land and the implementation of commitment filing system in environmental assessment, and to verify the clean-up and rectification of no-breeding areas. At present, the pilot project of mortgage loan for pig breeding has been expanded from four provinces to the whole country, and the scope of discount subsidy for farm households’ loans has been adjusted from more than 5,000 to more than 500 per year. With the expansion of loan scale, more and more farm households have begun to benefit. All localities have also made efforts to solve the difficulties encountered by poultry breeding due to the epidemic situation, and supported farmers to speed up the replenishment of poultry columns to ensure that poultry meat production will continue to increase throughout the year.

　　Sichuan is the largest province for pig production. "In January this year, there were 29 million pigs in the province, including 2.8 million fertile sows, and the production of pigs increased steadily and slightly." Yao Sidan, vice governor of Sichuan Province, said that the provincial finance in Sichuan allocated 300 million yuan to subsidize new fertile sows according to the standard of each 300 yuan. For free-range farmers, we will promote the model of "company+farmers" to help small and medium-sized farmers develop standardized farming. Carry out "peer-to-peer" services to help feed and slaughter enterprises and 504 pig farm projects to speed up the resumption of work and production. At present, the slaughtering enterprises in the province have basically resumed work, and the rate of returning to work for feed enterprises has reached over 85%. Looking at the whole year, the annual task of slaughtering 60 million pigs is expected to be fully completed.

　　Hunan Province actively implemented the "High-quality Hunan Pig" project. The province will reward the newly built, renovated and expanded standardized pig farms according to the new production capacity. If the annual production capacity is 10,000 to 30,000, the subsidy will be 500,000 yuan; More than 30 thousand heads, a subsidy of 800 thousand yuan. Support the expansion of the pilot scope of live pig price insurance, help farmers connect with loan financing institutions, and ease the financial difficulties of farmers. At present, 187 new large-scale aquaculture projects in the province have started to resume work one after another, and it is estimated that the new production capacity will be 9.3 million heads during the year; In January this year, the slaughter of pigs in the province increased by 32.78% month-on-month, and the basic production capacity of farms with an annual slaughter of more than 500 pigs recovered quickly.

　　"Implement policies and measures to every rural household, and follow up the problem solving situation to every enterprise to ensure that the basic production capacity of livestock and poultry breeding industry is not lost." Yang Zhenhai, director of the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that it is necessary to do everything possible to speed up the recovery and development of pig production and actively promote the stable development of poultry and other aquaculture industries. It is necessary to speed up the resource utilization of livestock and poultry breeding waste, ensure the comprehensive utilization rate to reach more than 75%, and the supporting rate of facilities and equipment for large-scale farms to reach more than 95%. It is necessary to support the development of standardized scale farming, promote the comprehensive revitalization of the dairy industry, promote the quality improvement and efficiency improvement of the feed and veterinary drug industry, and promote the transformation and upgrading of the slaughtering industry.
