"Professional Title Evaluation" for New Farmers—Gansu Folk Music Stimulates the Vitality of Rural Front-line Talents

  A few days ago, more than 200 farmers in Minle County, Zhangye, Gansu Province ushered in a great event.

The reporter learned from the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of the county that in the county's evaluation of rural practical scientific and technological talents last year, 7 farmers were awarded the deputy senior professional title of rural scientific and technological practical talents, 15 farmers were rated as intermediate professional titles, and 200 farmers were rated as Junior title.

  Focusing on the "ceiling" problem in the title evaluation of rural scientific and technological talents, in recent years, Minle County, Gansu Province has established a "green channel" for the evaluation of professional titles for outstanding scientific and technological talents in the field of rural revitalization to stimulate the vitality of front-line talents in rural revitalization. The "earth experts" and "Tian Xiucai" of "management and management" have laid a solid talent foundation for promoting rural revitalization.

Advocating technology, earning "advanced" certification from professional farmers

  Li Xingjie is instructing vegetable farmers in the conjoined steel frame shed in Lizhai Village, Xintian Town, Minle County.

  In Lizhai Village, Xintian Town, Minle County, the "vegetable secretary" Li Xingjie is well-known.

Born in the 1960s, this self-proclaimed "rustic" greenhouse vegetable grower now has a new identity - a senior professional farmer.

  In 2016, Li Xingjie led the villagers to build 120 greenhouses and set up a professional cooperative to lead the local people to develop the vegetable industry, carry out education and training for farmers, and use the "education + industry" model to help local farmers open the door to prosperity.

  Today, the plateau summer vegetables grown by the cooperative are favored by merchants and consumers because of their good quality and storage resistance. The products sell well in more than 20 provinces and cities, and some products are exported to foreign markets.

  Advocating science and technology has become the consensus of a new type of professional farmers, and it has also become a common feature of this group.

  Take Yang Xuehai, a senior professional farmer in Minle County, as an example. Like Li Xingjie, he stumbled at first, but later realized a truth: he must rely on knowledge and technology to cultivate the land.

Yang Xuehai updated all his planting varieties, and successively transferred the land in the village. While expanding the scale, the benefits are also rising.

Just a few days ago, he also obtained the "advanced" certification of professional farmers as he wished.

  "I am a native farmer, and modern agriculture requires 'professionals to do professional things'. Professional farmers take farming as their profession and use professional skills to maximize the benefits of the land." Yang Xuehai said.

Policies are inclined to cultivate enthusiasm for rooting in the countryside

  It is only the first step for "new farmers" to obtain the "official certification" of professional titles. How to let them play the role of "leading geese" in the process of rural revitalization, improve the comprehensive ability and quality of more farmers to participate in rural revitalization, and cultivate The key is to create a new type of professional farmer team.

  To this end, Minle County continues to promote the evaluation of professional and technical titles of rural practical talents, and actively taps rural professional and technical talents, so that a large number of "field experts" and "earth talents" have been awarded the technical titles of rural practical talents. By providing more technical services, Project cooperation, bank loans, product promotion, financial support and other incentives, subsidies and policy preferences make farmers' professional titles truly attractive and further stimulate their enthusiasm for taking root in the countryside.

  "Cultivating talents and growing crops is the same principle. To carry out the evaluation of high-quality farmers' professional titles is essentially to select a group of outstanding farmers as 'seed players'. Through scientific cultivation and careful care, they will continuously promote their germination, flowering, and fruiting until autumn. , this crop of 'crops' will be 'full of crops'." said Zhang Xiuling, deputy director of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of Minle County.

  "Rural revitalization, farmers are both beneficiaries and the main force. It is necessary to open up the growth path of professional farmers for professional and technical talents such as 'soil experts', 'Tian Xiucai' and 'township creators' who are active in the vast rural areas and have made significant contributions." Minle County Han Yanjun, director of the Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security, said that Minle County will give full play to the positive incentive role of professional title evaluation, help to grow a new team of professional farmers who love agriculture, understand technology, and are good at innovation, inject fresh water into the source of talent to break the bottleneck of rural revitalization, and broaden the scope of rural revitalization.
