Internet Plus agriculture does not work simply by adding the two together
Agricultural and grain conditions vary widely across our country, and only a minority of places in certain fields can achieve informatized application; therefore, it is unwise to impose a one-size-fits-all approach, and unwise to blindly "+ the Internet." A true "Internet Plus agriculture" must properly handle the relationship between government and market, and the pragmatic step at present

Li Yining proposes promoting the reform of the agricultural reclamation system from two levels
Using 4.5% of the nation's arable land area, it produces more than 7% of commercial grain; the agricultural reclamation economy has maintained a growth rate of more than 12% for 10 consecutive years; three major reclamation areas already have annual total operating revenue exceeding 100 billion yuan. At the forefront of China's modern agriculture, how can China's agricultural reclamation, through deepening reform

How does the reform of the agricultural reclamation system advance from two levels?
To deepen the reform of the agricultural reclamation system, it is necessary to advance reform at two levels as early as possible: first, to advance the reform of the state-owned property rights system in the reclamation areas; and second, to advance the reform of the management and operation system of agricultural reclamation enterprises. This will determine the overall approach to the reform and development of the reclamation areas. Peking University Guang

Crop cultivation must adhere to the conditions; one must not pull up seedlings to help them grow.
The pilot program for mortgage loans on the "two rights" has drawn attention from both urban and rural society, and all localities have a strong desire for reform. However, the complex legal issues and potential risk pressures of rural land system reform determine the strict conditions for selecting pilot areas. It is unworkable to "create conditions even when there are none." According to the guidance

Reflections on Farmers Standing on Their Own Two Feet in a Market Economy
Introduction: After entering the market, farmers are drawn into a strange society full of uncertainty and risk; in the era of a subsistence-oriented economy in kind, farmers reaped a harvest for every effort they put in, but in the era of the monetary economy, effort does not necessarily bring a harvest.

Soybean meal market faces pullback pressure after weather-driven speculation
Over the past two months, soybean meal futures contracts have seen a sharp decline followed by a rapid rebound, and the current price is already close to the high at the start of the decline. Does this mean the soybean meal market has already reversed? First, let us analyze the reasons for the earlier decline in soybean meal: First, sluggish domestic demand for soybean meal led to price declines. Weak demand in the livestock and aquaculture industry constrained soybean meal consumption. China's hog inventory and breeding sow inventory fell sharply year on year; prices of meat, eggs and poultry were sluggish, and farming losses were severe; demand in aquaculture slowed, constraining demand for protein meal. Second, soybean meal supply increased substantially, spot prices fell sharply, some basis contracts faced default risk, and selling off occurred.</P><P> Now let us look at the reasons for the rapid rise in soybean meal. The author believes that the rise in soybean meal came partly from a return of prices after the earlier excessive decline; on the other hand, it came from speculation driven by heavy rain in the main U.S. soybean producing areas, which caused market concern about U.S. soybean planted area and good-to-excellent ratings. The planted area data and weekly soybean good-to-excellent ratings data released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture on June 30 both confirmed the market's concerns about U.S. soybean planting. These data will, in the short term, still support U.S. soybean futures in maintaining high-level oscillation, which will substantially raise the cost of China's imported soybeans, forcing crushing plants to passively raise the prices of soybean meal and soybean oil.</P><P> But in the short term, speculation over the impact of severe weather on planting may cool somewhat, and the loose fundamentals will bring great pressure on soybean meal prices.</P><P> From the perspective of soybean meal supply, global soybean supply is ample. After U.S. soybeans hit a record high last year, soybean output in Argentina and Brazil also hit record highs, which will suppress legume prices over the medium and long term. Domestically, China's soybean imports in June may reach 8.53 million tons and in July reach 8 million tons, so soybean sources are very abundant; at present, the operating rate of domestic crushing plants remains at an extremely high level of about 54%, and soybean meal supply has recently remained high. The volume of domestic rapeseed meal and imported DDGS remains high, suppressing plant protein prices.</P><P> On the demand side, although the hog farming industry currently shows restocking demand, truly driving soybean meal consumption may still require waiting for hog inventory data to stop falling and rebound before it can be confirmed. The meat, egg and poultry farming industry remains sluggish. Due to oversupply, prices of meat poultry and eggs fell sharply earlier, severely dampening the enthusiasm of farming enterprises to restock. In aquaculture, because oversupply last year led to sharp price declines, pond stock levels in the south are relatively high this year, constraining the release of fry. Recently, rainfall has been excessive, feed placement in ponds has decreased, which is bearish for meal consumption. Later, as large quantities of stocked fish are sold, demand for protein meal from newly released fry may decline substantially, so demand for protein meal from aquaculture later is also worrying.</P><P> Based on the information on both supply and demand, the author believes that soybean meal supply and demand will remain loose, and after the bullish U.S. heavy rain weather factor is fully priced in, soybean meal prices will return to fundamentals in the short term, with the possibility of oscillating pullbacks.</P></p>
