Why is the cultivated land in Ningling County increasing?

Four years ago, Ningling County had 803,734.4 mu of cultivated land and 692,023.5 mu of basic farmland. Over the past four years, the county has added more than one enterprise project 100, with rapid economic development and strong land demand. Because they came up with the correct ideas of "strengthening consciousness", "establishing mechanism", "adjusting relations" and "grasping and managing together", while ensuring the effective supply of construction land, the area of basic farmland protection has not decreased, but the area of cultivated land has increased by 2240.2 mu.

First, a strong "consciousness"

Ningling county is a state-level poverty-stricken county located in the west of the eastern Henan plain. It has jurisdiction over 14 townships (towns), 366 administrative villages, 1052 natural villages and 2,769 villagers' groups, with more than 600,000 people, and the per capita cultivated land is 1.33 mu, which is lower than the provincial and national average. The county situation of land and resources is that the per capita possession is small, the reserve resources are small, and there are many low-and medium-yield fields.

With the acceleration of industrialization, urbanization, agricultural modernization and population growth, the pressure of cultivated land protection is gradually increasing. County leaders and land and resources management departments realize that the scarcity of land resources is inversely proportional to the enhancement of cultivated land protection awareness. In order to continuously strengthen the awareness of the broad masses of cadres and people on farmland protection, they started with publicity and education, from posting slogans and banners at first to setting up information desks and distributing publicity materials; From simply replacing training with meetings and TV speeches, to dispatching propaganda vehicles and organizing literary and art propaganda teams; From the annual "April 22" Earth Day and "June 25" National Land Day, to the continuous promotion of "Long-flowing Water"; From education only for urban and rural residents to introducing knowledge of land laws and regulations into the classroom, we will carry out prize-winning essay-writing activities among primary and secondary school students, incorporate land and resources knowledge into the important training content of county and township party schools, constantly innovate publicity methods, increase publicity efforts, expand publicity scope and improve publicity level, so that the education of national conditions, national policies and national laws of land and resources will gradually be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

You Fangyuan, who is over 70 years old, is a villager in Shaopenyao Village, Liuhe Town. He has been a farmer all his life, has a childlike love for the land, and often wanders between fields. Anyone who plants trees in the field, even if it belongs to his own contracted field, can't escape his eyes and his reprimand: "Land is the lifeblood of our country. If we waste like this, how can we grow crops in the future? " Li Weilin, the head of Qiaolou Township, also vowed: "I am the head of the township and take overall responsibility for the amount of cultivated land and the protected area of basic farmland, the overall land use planning and the implementation of the annual plan in this administrative region. Anyone who wants to engage in crooked ways here is delusional! " At present, throughout Ningling County, from urban to rural areas, from cadres to the masses, regardless of men, women and children, the awareness of protecting cultivated land has been continuously enhanced.

Second, build a "mechanism"

The management of land resources, including the protection of cultivated land, is the responsibility of governments at all levels and the whole society, and the land department alone can not manage it well or well. In order to establish a shared responsibility system for farmland protection and change the passive situation of "one place managing many places", the county party committee and county government studied and established a leading group for farmland protection, which was headed by the county magistrate and attended by the heads of departments of land, urban construction, agriculture, forestry, water affairs, public security, law and other relevant units, and instructed the land and resources management department to cooperate closely with the township (town) to demarcate the county's basic farmland as 1935 and delimit the basic farmland. Set up 138 basic farmland protection sign, improve the basic farmland data ledger, and make the basic farmland protection map and ledger consistent with the plot. On this basis, the basic farmland protection network system of county, township, village and household is constructed. At the beginning of each year, the "top leaders" of the Administration signed a target responsibility letter at different levels, and all the responsibilities for basic farmland protection were implemented in the field, and the accountability system was implemented.

The function and strength of the mechanism lies in implementation. The county government incorporated the protection of cultivated land in each township (town) into the annual comprehensive target, studied and formulated the assessment and scoring method of the responsibility target of cultivated land protection, and required the county land and resources bureau to conduct a spot check on the implementation of the responsibility target of each township (town) every year to encourage the advanced and spur the backward. The first inspection and acceptance was carried out in July last year, and the three townships (towns) of Luogang, Yeung Yi and Zhanggong were rated as advanced units for farmland protection, each with a capital of 6.5438+0.5 million yuan.

The establishment and implementation of cultivated land protection mechanism has effectively guaranteed the safety of cultivated land. The county has stopped 3 17 cases of illegal land, reducing land loss 1500 mu. In 2006, Luogang Town Government won a pesticide production project through various contacts, and investors took a fancy to the cultivated land near the county forest farm within its jurisdiction. Some people advocate signing the use contract by lease. Ma Chao, secretary of the Party Committee of the town, thinks that this is illegal land use, which circumvents the land examination and approval procedures and violates the land use control system, thus eliminating the problem in the bud.

Third, adjust the "relationship"

The protection of cultivated land is to maintain the area and quality, and to ensure development, it is necessary to provide land. How to coordinate the relationship between them, so as to protect cultivated land and ensure development? This makes the ruling ability of Ningling county policy makers and leaders of county land and resources bureau severely tested. After hard exploration, they summed up the 16-character experience of "highlighting the theme, blocking and dredging at the same time, tapping the potential and saving land" in practice, which solved this problem well.

The outstanding theme is to issue documents, strengthen measures, implement the strictest cultivated land protection system, and resolutely implement the principle of "three haves and three no compensations", that is, idle land, wasteland and inferior land will never occupy good land, and national key construction projects such as railways and highways must occupy as little cultivated land as possible and replenish the reserve land of the same quantity and quality in time. According to the operation mode of blocking and dredging at the same time, over the past four years, they have replaced more than 3,500 mu of cultivated land, making the red line of cultivated land protection impregnable.

The connotation of tapping the potential is "changing cages for birds", grafting and transformation, making full use of the venues and facilities of closed enterprises, and letting dead factories blossom and bear fruit. In 2004, Ningling County attracted investment of 560 million yuan, and a number of new projects were urgently needed. At that time, the State Council's emergency notice clearly put forward "three suspensions". In order to solve the "bottleneck" restriction of industrial land, the county land and resources bureau found that there are more than 20 industrial and mining wasteland in the county, with an idle area of more than 2,000 mu. They intervened in advance and led the new project to settle in the old site, which not only reduced the cost, but also saved the land resources. The second is to carry out in-depth special treatment of clay brick kiln factory. There are 53 brick and tile kiln factories in this county, which destroy more than 0/000 mu of cultivated land every year, and are called "earth tigers" by the masses. Since 2006, according to the instructions of the superior leaders on closing the solid clay brick kiln factory, after fruitful work, all the cultivated land has been demolished and reclaimed 1500 mu.

To save land, it is mainly to transform "hollow villages" and re-cultivate "threshing floors". For thousands of years, people have lived in single-family houses and scattered houses, lived by fields, built according to the situation, and constantly expanded outward, forming a "hollow village." According to the survey data, the rural residential area in this county covers an area of 196348.5 mu, with an average household area of 1.34 mu and a per capita area of 0.335 mu. Through the transformation, each household can vacate 1 mu of homestead, and the county can save more than 65438+ 10,000 mu of cultivated land. At present, they take the three old models of Liqizhuang village in suburban township, Huju village in Liulou township and Zhuangyuan village in Liuhe town as examples, and adopt the methods of "going forward and succeeding" and "taking areas from point to area" to fully spread them in 14 townships (towns). As for the threshing floor, it is the product of the early implementation of the agricultural production responsibility system. At that time, farmers left pieces of open space in villages, roadsides and fields for the convenience of harvesting grain, ranging from two to three points. Many acres were used for temporary use, but they were idle for many years. In accordance with the principle of "whoever cultivates", they made unified arrangements and implemented them separately, adding more than 20 thousand mu of cultivated land.

Fourth, grasp "condominium"

Grasping "co-management" means to be a good land coordinator, so that they can effectively perform their duties and give full play to their role in farmland protection. "Land Coordinator" is a "brand" created by Ningling County Bureau of Land and Resources in work practice, which has been popularized throughout the country.

They hired 498 land coordinators from the incumbent village party secretary or village committee director, two from each administrative village1~, and asked them to assist the Land Institute in the protection of cultivated land. These people are distributed in 366 administrative villages in the county, and they are active in 798 square kilometers of land every day, becoming the "clairvoyance" and "clairvoyance" of farmland protection. When they see someone destroying farmland, they will stop it and cooperate with the National Land Institute to investigate and deal with illegal land activities, thus changing the phenomenon of not farming and not caring about farming.

In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the coordinators to protect cultivated land, the bureau has implemented a system of quota, posts and responsibilities, and established a system of learning, reporting, assessment, appraisal and reward and punishment. The coordinator will be commended once a year, with 40 people awarded for the first time, 80 people for the second time and 100 people for the last time. Honorary certificates and cash 500 yuan were awarded to everyone, which greatly stimulated their entrepreneurial consciousness and everyone contributed. There are 30 acres of fertile land in the north of Gouxiang Village, Chenglou Township, which is a famous land of "gold does not change". In 2003, some people began to plant poplars in the contracted land, which caused many contradictions. Therefore, all 65,438+06 villagers planted trees there. A year later, Chen Yuqin, the former land coordinator (secretary of the village branch), was very unhappy when he saw that the good farmland had changed its use. He specially held meetings, went door to door to do work, and mobilized householders to sell what they could and transplant what they could. After eight months of hard work, he simply cleared more than 2,000 trees, bringing the "Gold Exchange" back to life.
