preface
Recently, there was news in Yanjin County, Xinxiang, Henan Province, that local townships require farmers not to use machinery and equipment to harvest peanuts because they are worried that dust problems will affect the inspection of leaders. This claim was subsequently denied by the relevant departments, but the video caused heated discussions after it was exposed. What exactly is the source of the misunderstanding behind the incident? We can analyze it on multiple levels.
Agricultural time does not treat people Information transmission is inevitably biased
It is the golden season for peanut harvesting, and mechanized operations can greatly improve efficiency. If machinery and equipment cannot be used, it will inevitably seriously affect the farmers' harvest. Farmers are naturally worried and anxious when they hear that machinery cannot be used during the harvest season. This has also led them to be extremely sensitive to unclear interpretations of relevant policies.
At the same time, when promoting policies, grassroots staff may be inaccurate or misleading by seeking simplicity and directness. Information is also prone to deviation in multiple transmissions. The slightest carelessness can trigger farmers' doubts.
When the harvest season comes, time is pressing, and farmers' anxiety is more likely to be ignited. A slight deviation in the delivery process can be misinterpreted as a command that "no machinery is allowed". It was originally intended to remind attention to the problem of dust, but it became a "lost horse" of forbidden machinery.
Sensitive periods Speech should be cautious
The intention is good, but in the future, it is necessary to pay attention to the accuracy of the rhetoric when conveying policies during the busy agricultural season. Because this is a sensitive period, farmers are prone to anxiety. At this point, staff must clearly communicate the purpose of the policy and leave no room for ambiguity.
Instead of simply and directly saying "no machinery", it is better to clearly express "welcome to use mechanical harvesting, but pay attention to control the mechanical force according to weather conditions and reduce dust pollution". The former may cause misunderstandings, while the latter allows farmers to correctly understand the policy requirements and actively cooperate with implementation.
Balance interests and clarify demands
When communicating policies, it is also necessary to balance the interests of all parties and clarify their demands. Environmental protection and agricultural production are not contradictory, the key is how to take into account. If mechanized operations are banned too simply, farmers' interests will inevitably be harmed.
Conversely, if only the emphasis is placed on giving farmers free access to machinery, environmental issues may be overlooked. What is needed here is a clear demand, that is, "rational use of machinery to improve efficiency, but pay attention to air control and minimize dust pollution". This balances the interests of all parties.
epilogue
Behind the misunderstanding, it actually reflects some common problems in grassroots law enforcement. In the regulatory process, the regulation itself is often regarded as an end rather than a means. Only by clarifying the true intention of the policy and rational communication can we manage according to law without harming the interests of the people. The incident is a reflection on how important precision in words is when disseminating policy. Let us look to the future and work together to create a social custom that places equal emphasis on the rule of law and humanity, so as to resolve misunderstandings through communication and create a harmonious society.
