[Explanation] In recent years, more and more new professional farmers have worked hard in Sichuan, the "Land of Abundance". They skillfully integrate their professional skills into the land under their feet, and use innovation to empower industrial development.

The rise of new professional farmers is just a microcosm of Sichuan's efforts to create a higher level of "Tianfu Granary" in the new era. After the "overweight" of talents and technology, the land of Bashu is fertile and full of vitality.

  As the potential for agricultural development continues to emerge, more and more students choose to major in agriculture.

In order to make students more "down-to-earth", Meishan Vocational and Technical College combines teaching content with production practice, and the learning tasks are directly linked to field production tasks.

Wei Wenwu, the director of the agricultural teaching and research section of the school, said that learning should not be just in the classroom, students should have their feet covered with soil, and students should be able to feel the severe cold and heat.

  Combining the inside and outside of the classroom, combining students' teaching and learning, and then integrating theory into practice, so as to realize the organic combination of theory and practice.

The time in the classroom and the time in the field (teaching) are at least 1:1.

(Students) He wants to go in, to the fields, to the cooperatives, to the homes of the farmers, to understand their production status and their technical needs. Therefore, we should carry out the agricultural feelings and the spirit of hard work, and form a own understanding of the agricultural industry.

  [Explanation] The reporter visited and learned that among agricultural students, there are many children who have lived in the city since childhood and yearned for the countryside. They hope to feel the charm of "spring planting and autumn harvest" through the agricultural knowledge they have learned, and then engage in agricultural related work in the future.

  I was the kind of person who grew up in the city. I was very curious, and I was very curious about majors at first.

I went outside with my teachers to see some orchards, and felt that the scale of (industry) development was very large, and the economic benefits were very good.

The school provided a special site and planted fruit trees by myself. I thought that I would be very happy to harvest in the future.

  [Explanation] According to reports, more than 30 technologies such as the machine-directed direct-seeding rice "full buds and seedlings" technology, chemical fertilizer reduction technology, and pesticide reduction technology have "blossomed and borne fruit" in many towns in Meishan, saving a total of 75.3863 million yuan in costs RMB 205,314,600 in cumulative revenue increase and expenditure reduction.

  Dai Xianjun, Secretary of the Party Committee of Meishan Vocational and Technical College, said that vocational education is not only an important supplier, server, and supporter of technology and talents, but also plays a unique role in the transformation, application, and promotion of technology. A bridge between basic scientific research and real production.

  In actual production, there are a lot of technical problems that need to be studied and solved. The first-line professional cooperatives and rice farmers have many problems that they don’t understand. Our teachers and students need to train, help and improve.

Our school takes advantage of our modern agricultural technology talents, professional advantages, and technological advantages. It has successively promoted more than 30 new rice varieties and new technologies, and trained more than 20,000 professional rice farmers, grassroots agricultural technicians, and pastoral stars.

  [Explanation] In a "rice and shrimp symbiosis" base in Jinguang Village, Dongpo District, Meishan City, Sichuan Province, 34-year-old farmer Wan Gang and several workers are storing water in the fields to prepare for a good harvest in the coming year.

He graduated from a university majoring in modern agricultural technology. In 2016, he returned to his hometown to explore the "rice and shrimp symbiosis" model.

At present, the average annual output of the land he contracted is 300 catties of crayfish and 1,200 catties of rice per mu.

From the initial 20 mu of land to the current 400 mu of land, Wan Gang is full of vision and confidence for the future.

  I understand the new type of professional farmers, but it is a very decent profession. Then we use centralized land circulation and then centralized mechanized management. We reduce the production cost per mu of land, and then increase the production cost per mu (land) production income.

Agriculture does not mean how much money it can make me earn, but that it allows me to build a better hometown without leaving my hometown, and at the same time to achieve my own small goals in life.
