  In 2018, the No. 1 Central Document clarified that "vigorously cultivate new types of professional farmers, and encourage localities to carry out pilot projects for the evaluation of professional farmers' titles."

Since then, Jilin, Shandong, Zhejiang and other places have tried to assess the professional title of farmers.

This move not only smooths the career development path of "new farmers" and attracts talents to take root in the countryside, but also faces problems such as social awareness that needs to be improved.

  Recently, the news that Li Zongguang was appraised as a senior agricultural technician has become a new thing in Nong'an County, Changchun City, Jilin Province.

  "Planting land can still be evaluated for professional titles?" Not only did many villagers find it incredible, but Li Zongguang, chairman of the "township maker" Zongguang Agricultural Machinery Professional Cooperative in Nong'an County, who was awarded the professional title, was dubious when he declared.

  In order to better attract all kinds of talents to make contributions in rural revitalization, Jilin, Shandong, Zhejiang and other places have tested the waters to evaluate the titles of rural revitalization talents such as "soil experts", "Tian Xiucai" and "rural makers" who are rooted in the countryside.

The move sent ripples through the quiet countryside.

  Experts said that appraising titles for "new farmers" is an emphasis on rural human capital, and it also reflects the demand for professionalization of talents, which is conducive to the smooth career growth of rural revitalization talents and broadens the way to attract talents for rural revitalization.

However, the key to making "new peasants" "warm up" this talent evaluation system depends on the degree of social recognition.

  Rural talents get "official certification"

  "It feels heavy to get the 'official certification' title certificate." Yang Lina, chairman of Jilin Yanbian Guangdong Korean Folklore Tourism Service Co., Ltd., is one of the first 300 rural capable people in Jilin Province to be awarded the senior title of rural revitalization talents one.

  In 2021, the Department of Human Resources and Social Security of Jilin Province began to explore the evaluation of professional titles for rural revitalization talents, and also specially formulated the "Jilin Province Rural Revitalization Talent Evaluation Implementation Measures (Trial)", which clarified that the evaluation is mainly for farmers who have been rooted in the grassroots for a long time and engaged in moderate-scale operations. Technical experts, e-commerce marketing personnel, etc., set up 9 majors, including rural revitalization agronomist, rural revitalization agronomist, and rural revitalization e-commerce marketer. Each major is divided into three levels: primary, intermediate, and senior (sub-senior).

  In fact, as early as July 2017, Zhejiang Province proposed to break the constraints of household registration, region, identity, and personnel relationship, and include new professional farmers in the scope of agricultural professional title evaluation.

In 2018, the No. 1 Central Document also clarified that "vigorously cultivate new types of professional farmers, and encourage localities to carry out pilot projects for the evaluation of professional farmers' titles."

Since then, Jilin, Shandong, Zhejiang and other places have tested the water to carry out the evaluation of professional farmers' professional titles, and many professional farmers have even been rated as "positive and senior".

  "Talent is the first resource for rural revitalization. Using the baton of talent evaluation is of great significance to leading the transformation of new farmers and cultivating a team of rural talents with sufficient quantity, reasonable structure and excellent quality." Chinese Academy of Labor and Social Security Sciences Researcher Tong Tian said that from a national perspective, cultivating high-quality farmers has become a new trend in talent evaluation in the new era.

  According to Zhang Fuxin, Director of the Professional and Technical Personnel Management Division of the Jilin Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security, in the past two years, 3,962 rural revitalization talents in Jilin Province have been awarded professional titles, and 600 of them have been awarded senior professional titles.

  What are the "hard levers" in the review?

  In the impression of many people, professional and technical titles are usually for professional and technical personnel of enterprises and institutions and scientific research personnel of universities, and candidates often need to meet the "hard levers" such as academic qualifications, thesis, and research results.

So, is there such a "hard threshold" for farmers to evaluate their titles?

  Zhang Fuxin said that the "Implementation Measures for the Evaluation of Professional Titles for Rural Revitalization Talents in Jilin Province (Trial)" is particularly clear that the application for professional titles for rural revitalization talents is not limited to academic qualifications, age, awards, or papers.

At the same time, different evaluation criteria have been formulated for 9 different majors, focusing on the comprehensive ability of the participants to lead the inheritance of skills, promote the development of industries, and drive the masses to become rich.

  The reporter sorted out and found that the evaluation methods and selection criteria are different in various places. Some have requirements for the number of years engaged in corresponding agricultural technology and the number of hours of learning and training for agricultural-related businesses, and some have requirements for modern agricultural technology or the industrial scale of production and operation or guidance services. Requirements, but what they have in common is that they are close to the reality of agricultural production, "what farmers do, they evaluate what they do."

  The cooperative that Li Zongguang belongs to innovates and adopts the "six-line planting mode of black soil conservation farming" for farming. While protecting the black soil, it has reduced the agricultural input of farmers by more than 1,000 yuan per hectare. At present, 10,162 acres of planting have been promoted, and the economic benefits are very considerable. .

In participating in the professional title review this time, Li Zongguang successfully passed the test with this outstanding performance.

  "What can be done for rural development and how much benefits can be brought to farmers, these are the 'hard levers' of the evaluation." Yang Lina said that the company she founded uses the tripartite benefit-sharing operating model of "enterprise + village collective + farmers" to allow The three villages under its jurisdiction have changed from poor and backward villages to well-known tourist villages throughout the country. The per capita annual income of villagers has increased by 16,000 yuan, which is nearly 6 times that of the original.

These performances that drive the villagers to become rich are also the key to her being awarded the title.

  Let professional title review truly empower rural revitalization

  Not long ago, Zhang Xinglong, chairman of Dehui Deyuan Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd. in Jilin Province, was very excited to learn that he became the second batch of rural revitalization talents awarded senior professional titles in the province.

  After Zhang Xinglong returned to his hometown to start a business, he explored the standardized cleaning and disinfection process of chicken coops, which shortened the blank period of 14-21 days after each batch of broiler chickens was released to 4-7 days, and each farm can raise 1-2 more batches per year. chicken.

In his view, the senior professional title is the recognition of his professional technical level and working ability, and it is also the "identity card" of high-quality new professional farmers.

  Rural revitalization talents have a professional title. In addition to improving their sense of personal honor and social identity, they also have supporting incentives, subsidies and policy preferences, which further stimulate their enthusiasm for taking root in the countryside.

  Last year, after Yang Lina passed the evaluation of senior agricultural economists, she was also selected as the first batch of top ten outstanding talents for rural revitalization in the province. Not only can she receive an annual reward of 3,000 yuan for five consecutive years, but she also has the opportunity to go out for training and study.

She said: "Now I have more confidence to take root in rural areas and start a business."

  Zhang Fuxin said that with the "blessing" of professional titles, entrepreneurs returning to their hometowns can better play the role of "leading geese" and drive agricultural technicians to improve their abilities and quality.

  According to the plan, in 2023, Jilin Province will evaluate titles for another 2,000 rural revitalization talents.

  During the interview, the reporter also found that in the perception of some farmers, the professional title is more like an honor because it is not directly linked to personal income, which also leads to the low enthusiasm of some farmers for participating in the evaluation of professional titles.

  "Whether the farmers' professional title evaluation system can exert its maximum effectiveness depends on the degree of social recognition." Tong Tian said that rural revitalization talents, like other technical and technical talents, must adhere to the use-oriented, and pay equal attention to quantity, quality and structure. Based on the industry, pay attention to market demand.

  Tong Tian suggested that in the evaluation of professional titles for rural revitalization talents, all localities should grasp the rigidity of the system and the flexibility of the mechanism, take into account the universality of the country and the uniqueness of the region, and improve the establishment of an industry evaluation mechanism based on peer expert review, so that professional titles Reviews bring career development to workers and truly empower rural revitalization.
