This year, the agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy in Haiyang once again stimulated the enthusiasm of farmers to buy machines, sparking a new wave of purchasing. According to statistics, more than 2000 farmer households have registered for machine purchases, including 40 large and medium-sized tractors, 1 corn harvester, 6 wheat (corn) harvesters, 12 no-till seed drills, 14 grain harvesters (tracked), more than 400 hand-guided tractors, more than 800 peanut planters, and more than 200 drought-resistant and other equipment. The total subsidy fund of 2.6 million yuan has been fully implemented, directly driving a farmer investment of 6 million yuan.
In order to effectively carry out this year's agricultural machinery purchase subsidy work, the Haiyang Agricultural Machinery Office focused on three services. First, strengthening public opinion promotion. In order to let farmers better understand the pro-agriculture policies and improve the transparency of the policies, Haiyang City carried out all-round publicity campaigns through various media, convened special purchase subsidy mobilization meetings, and organized policy learning sessions to ensure that the policies are implemented without deviation. Second, organizing equipment displays. In order to promote advanced and applicable agricultural machinery through purchase subsidies, combined with local realities, high-quality agricultural machinery products were recommended to farmers, allowing manufacturers or dealers to truthfully introduce machine performance, providing convenience for farmers to choose their own equipment, respecting the farmers' autonomy in choosing machines. Third, strictly adhering to operational procedures. Based on priority conditions, registration order, and farmers' recognition, the subsidy sequence was determined. Following the principles of openness, fairness, and justice, it ensured that the policies were implemented correctly, thus guaranteeing the authenticity of farmers enjoying the policies.
