Research on the Influence of Land Circulation on Farmers' Agricultural Mechanization Level

摘要

Based on the perspective of inward land circulation and outward land circulation, this paper uses the field survey data of 1,682 farmers in Hubei Province to analyze the impact of land circulation on agricultural mechanization of farmers. The results show that "inward land circulation" will significantly increase the level of agricultural mechanization and "outward land circulation" will significantly reduce the level of agricultural mechanization. In terms of the type of land circulationred, Inward land circulation dryland area is more impactful on the level of agricultural mechanization than Inward land circulation paddy field area; Onward land circulation dryland area is more impactful on the level of agricultural mechanization than Onward land circulation paddy field area. The robustness test further confirmed the above results. The age of head of household, labor training ratio, and the proportion of unhealthy people have a significant negative effect on the level of agricultural mechanization; average years of labor force education and the number of types of crops planted have a significant positive impact on the level of agricultural mechanization; the plains, compared to the non-plain regions, have a higher level of agricultural mechanization.
