First of all, traditional farmers, who are the largest and oldest in rural areas now, are the main force of real modern rural farming. These people are basically born after 50 s and 60 s. Although they are very old now, they have been sticking to the countryside and are basically restless.
Most of these people have been in the countryside all their lives and have no other skills. Land is their root. They try their best to send their children out of the countryside, but they don't want to leave, or they can't leave the countryside.
These people are usually very old and work in the fields. They are not retired, and few people can go to nursing homes. They can only keep working in the fields. Even if their family conditions are good now, they will not give up farming. Some children work and live well in the city, and they can support themselves completely. They don't want to give their children trouble, and even want to give them a variety of things.
The second is our new farmer now. These people are relatively young. Some are post-70s and some are post-80s. After the 1990s, there was almost no agriculture here. These people are young, some of them can barely keep up with the development of modern agriculture, and they are more acceptable to some new things, such as using smart phones, surfing the Internet, understanding some modern agricultural concepts, and some family farms and cooperatives in the city.
The third is the capital injection of some enterprises to establish some relatively large-scale planting bases. Although there are many problems now, some people in rural areas are farmers. Although the quantity is small, the cultivated land is basically large.
As far as we are concerned, these people are the main farmers now, and this is basically the case in rural areas in many places. In the future, there will be fewer and fewer traditional farmers in rural areas, more and more other two farmers, and the mode of agricultural production will gradually change.
