Notice of the General Office of the Ministry of Agriculture on the Subsidy Work of the “Generation of Cows by Machine” in 2007:

Agricultural Machinery [2007] 19

Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Yunnan Agricultural Machinery Administration:

Schistosomiasis is a major infectious disease that seriously jeopardizes people's health and lives, and affects economic and social development. The implementation of agricultural schistosomiasis control and control of the source of livestock infection is a key link in the prevention and control of schistosomiasis. The implementation of a "machine-to-machine" project in the affected area, accelerating the advancement of agricultural mechanization, and realizing the use of cultivating cattle for farming is an important measure to reduce the chances of cattle spreading disease and cut off the transmission of schistosomiasis. According to the plan for the use of special funds for agricultural machinery purchase subsidies in 2007, in order to earnestly perform the “machine-assisted beef” subsidy, the relevant matters are now notified as follows:

First, attach great importance to strengthening leadership

The implementation of the “machine for cattle” project is not only an objective need to liberate the agricultural labor force, increase farmers’ income, and increase agricultural efficiency, but also is an inevitable choice to promote rural urbanization, industrialization, and modernization, and to build a harmonious rural society in an all-round way, and also to improve the living environment of farmers. Effective measures to prevent the spread of schistosomiasis. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs attached great importance to it and listed the implementation of the “machine for cows” project as one of the 16 practical issues that the 2007 promise was for farmers. All localities must fully understand the significance of this work and regard it as an important task at present, strengthen leadership, implement responsibilities, take effective measures, promote the smooth development of all work, and strengthen supervision and inspection to ensure the effectiveness of the project. To ensure that the farmers in the affected areas have real benefits.

Second, overall planning, highlighting the key

All provinces must follow the requirements of the National Program for the Construction of Key Projects for Comprehensive Management of Schistosomiasis in Agriculture (2006-2008), in conjunction with the actual situation of schistosomiasis control in this province, do a good job of investigation and research, find out the bottom line, make overall considerations, and scientifically formulate the province’s Machine generation cattle "work plan. In accordance with the requirements of the “Notice on Applying for Implementation of the 2007 Agricultural Machinery Purchase Subsidy Project and Subsidy Funds” requirements of the General Office of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Finance, the annual implementation plan for the "subsidizing cows by machine" subsidy shall be carefully formulated to specify the scope of implementation, the target of subsidies, and Subsidy equipment types and subsidy proportions, schedules and related requirements. All 164 blood prevention and control districts and counties (fields) in the schistosomiasis prevention program of the Ministry of Agriculture should be included in the implementation scope of agricultural machinery subsidies. In the specific operations, it is necessary to give priority to satisfying farmers in villages and villages in areas where the farmers have purchased the equipment and give priority to meeting the purchasing needs of cattle farmers who have already dealt with cattle. It is necessary to actively carry out pilot projects in the whole village of “on behalf of cows on a plane,” and to increase investment and demonstration guidance in qualified villages with heavy-infested areas, and to promote them in a comprehensive manner.

Third, do a good job of coordination and strive for investment

The "substituting for generations for cattle" subsidy work is a highly systematic system project. It involves a wide range of operations and is complicated to operate. It needs strong support and cooperation from all sides. Agriculture and forestry departments at all levels must take the initiative to strengthen communication and coordination with the departments of finance, health, schistosomiasis, and animal husbandry, and cooperate with each other to form a joint force. We must strive for financial support and project input through multiple channels, establish a stable input mechanism, and concentrate financial resources to jointly promote the smooth development of the “machine-based cattle” campaign in the blood prevention and control area. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of infrastructure such as machine-plowing roads in the affected areas through government investment guidance and peasants' investment in labor and labor to create favorable conditions for the development of agricultural machinery and agricultural machinery.

Fourth, actively organize and do a good job of service

Agricultural machinery departments at all levels should increase the organization of socialized services for agricultural machinery, increase the utilization rate of subsidies for machinery, and maximize their role in agricultural production. It is necessary to organize purchasers who enjoy subsidy on behalf of cattle to sign farmer operating agreements with farmers in this village and actively provide farmer operating services for the village farmers. Encourage joint households and agricultural machinery service organizations to purchase agricultural machinery and guide the socialization and marketization of agricultural machinery. It is necessary to vigorously carry out experiments and demonstrations of advanced and applicable agricultural mechanization technologies and implements, strengthen technical training and guidance, improve the technical level of farmers in the use and operation of agricultural implements, and improve the efficiency of the use of subsidized implements; actively coordinate supply to ensure that the subsidy implements are in place in time; strengthen the agricultural machinery Maintenance services, improve after-sales service network; strengthen the supervision of agricultural machinery safety, strengthen the awareness of agricultural machinery safety production, ensure the safety of farmers' lives and property; strengthen the supervision of agricultural machinery product quality and ensure farmers' legitimate rights and interests.

V. Summarize experience and do well

Agricultural machinery departments at all levels must take various forms to vigorously publicize the speciality and important role of “machine-generation cattle” in subsidies for the purchase of agricultural machinery, and widely publicize the content, procedures, and requirements of the subsidy policy for “machine-based cattle” for the purpose of spreading the disease. The peasants in the district truly understand the policy comprehensively and actively participate in the implementation of the policy. It is necessary to pay attention to summing up experiences, establishing models, strengthening exchanges, highlighting the highlights, and expanding influence. At the same time, all provinces should conscientiously do a good job of summing up the implementation of the “machine-based cattle” subsidy, and submit their half year and full year work summaries to our ministry before July 10 and November 30 respectively (combined with special summaries for agricultural machinery purchase subsidies. The report is submitted separately to facilitate statistics and supervision. The summary materials should have conditions, analysis, suggestions, clear points of view, specific examples, and informative materials.
