After the valley rains, the spring ploughing work in Boluo came to an end, and the crops entered a critical growth stage. During the preparation period of spring ploughing, the majority of field chiefs actively carried out field patrol work, reported the situation of cultivated land in a timely manner, escorted spring ploughing, and achieved that the land was planted, the field was managed, and the responsibility was borne by the people, so as to help promote the food security work.
In Huangxi Village, Shiwan Town, patches of cultivated land are covered with fresh green, and rice grows freely in the paddy fields, full of vitality. The village-level field chiefs and grid field chiefs of Huangxi Village are busy inspecting the fields in the village, recording the planting and irrigation of cultivated land.
Not far from the cultivated land, a public notice board of the field chief system is erected, which clearly records the work arrangement of the village field chief system, the name and contact information of the village field chief and the field chief of each grid, and the responsibility is effectively implemented to the person and to each grid. At present, the village has established a team of cultivated land protection field chiefs with the secretary of the village party branch as the village field chief and the leaders of 9 joint-stock economic cooperatives as the grid field chief. Each grid field chief is responsible for ensuring the corresponding cultivated land area to achieve full coverage of weekly inspections, while village-level field chiefs are required to inspect the entire cultivated land in the village at least every month, so as to achieve full coverage of cultivated land protection responsibilities from "horizontal to edge and vertical to the end".
The reporter learned that the mobile phone of each field chief is also installed with the mobile APP of the field chief, walking in Huangxi Village, and from time to time you can see the figure of the grid field chief holding a mobile phone to patrol the field. When villagers are working in the fields, they will also go to the fields to check the growth of crops, and focus on checking whether there are common violations such as planting trees, building houses indiscriminately, and digging soil and sand in the fields.
"I usually patrol once a week, and when I see any damage to farmland, I take pictures and report it to the village committee, but now very few villagers destroy farmland. Chen Caikai, head of the Pudong Economic Cooperative in Huangxi Village, Shiwan Town, told reporters.
It is understood that the land area of Huangxi Village is more than 5,600 acres, and it is the famous "hometown of leeks". However, due to the long-term monoculture of leeks, the soil fertility declines, compaction and other problems, in order to improve the soil quality, Shiwan Town invested 40 million yuan to improve the quality of cultivated land, the construction scale of the transformation project is about 800 acres, and the new paddy field area is about 744 acres. After the completion of the project, the irrigation water source is sufficient, the entire project area is self-irrigated, the irrigation and drainage facilities are perfect, the fields are gridded, and the field roads are smooth. In July 2021, the cultivated land in the demonstration area was packaged and transferred to Huizhou Banyongkang Cereals, Oils and Foods, a large local agricultural enterprise, for unified rice planting and the management and maintenance of facilities in the demonstration area. After the Qingming Festival this year, seedlings were planted here, covering the contiguous land with a green blanket.
"We planted winter cash crops, returned the crop bellflower to the field, combined with organic fertilizer, to increase the organic matter of the land, and gradually improve the quality of the soil, and we also invited the Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences to come to do technical support for us. Xie Yongjia, general manager of Huizhou Banyongkang Grain, Oil and Food Co., Ltd., said: "Last year, we participated in the evaluation of paddy fields in Guangdong Province and won the honor of demonstration base, which gave us great confidence. ”
Yao Zhile, deputy secretary of the Shiwan Town People's Congress and deputy secretary of the party branch of Huangxi Village, told reporters that compared with the scattered planting of villagers in the past, the economic benefits obtained by circulation and contracting to large agricultural enterprises have been significantly improved, and the land can also be centrally managed, which is conducive to the realization of mechanized planting and reducing planting costs. The establishment of the field chief system will provide more solid institutional support for cultivated land protection and basic farmland construction, and will further stabilize and consolidate the agricultural foundation.
"The income from unified contracting is much better, and the income per mu can be more than 1,000 to 2,000 yuan. Yao Zhile told reporters: "This year, 17 acres of land in the village have been planted with rice, and the villagers' ideological concepts have gradually changed, and they all realize that they should not waste land." ”
The system of cultivated land protection and field chief is an important system of land management and cultivated land protection in mainland China in recent years, and its implementation is aimed at ensuring the rational use and protection of land resources. In recent years, Boluo County has actively responded to the call of the state to divide the farmland in the county into grids, forming and improving the "field chief system" system at the county, town, village and village levels. Since 2023, the county natural resources bureau has organized a series of cultivated land publicity and education activities to improve the awareness and participation of villagers in the field chief system, and conducted a two-month training for relevant personnel in various towns and streets to explain the "field chief system" system of cultivated land protection and the operation of the field patrol APP, so as to improve their business practical ability, and set up a three-level field chief system public notice board in towns, villages and grids to implement the information disclosure of field chiefs.
"We divide the county's land into grids through the "3+1" responsibility system of counties, towns, villages, and grid field chiefs to ensure that each grid and each field has a responsible person and guardian. Formulate a system of field chiefs to inspect and inspect fields, implement information management, realize "one map unified management, one-click feedback, and one network co-governance" of cultivated land, dynamically monitor changes in cultivated land, and investigate and deal with illegal occupation of cultivated land in accordance with the law. Chen Zhihai, deputy director of the county natural resources bureau, said that through the above measures, the "non-agricultural" and "non-grain" cultivated land will be effectively curbed, and the red line of cultivated land protection will be firmly guarded.
Through the implementation of the field chief system, Boluo has carried out more scientific and systematic management of cultivated land resources, effectively avoided the waste and abuse of cultivated land resources, and reduced the problems of occupying farmland and building houses, and turning cultivated land into non-agricultural and non-grain resources. As of March 2024, Boluo County has submitted three editions of the field chief grid database to the Guangdong Provincial Department of Natural Resources, and a total of 3,029 grids have been delineated in the county, including 1 county-level grid, 17 town-level grids, 356 village-level grids, and 2,655 group-level grids. With innovative and solid working methods, our county has achieved good work results, won the second prize of "Comprehensive Evaluation of Guangdong Province Tianchang System Pilot County", and won the provincial financial award.
