With the geometric increase in the area of cultivated land in recent years, a large number of newly resettled displaced people in various control areas of the Far East are not very familiar with the cultivation methods of the new crops in the Far East.

Although the company's agriculture and forestry department has dispatched almost all experts and technicians, it is simply not possible to take care of all the displaced farmers. It can only be in the form of passing on and helping to teach a group of peasant demonstration households, and then they will return to their respective brigades and squadrons to teach other homeless peasant households.

However, because the level of peasant demonstration households is uneven, it is inevitable that problems will arise in the process of passing on the help and guidance, and there will even be a large reduction in production.

In order to change this situation, the company's agriculture and forestry department has selected a large number of students from the previous junior high school graduates in the Far East in recent years to set up an agricultural technician training course. Because of the poor teaching quality and weak teachers at that time, the graduates of the first few classes of graduates basically only finished primary school and entered the staff technical school.

The remaining students with excellent grades did not learn much when they entered the junior high school study stage, and they were victims of the practice of examination-oriented education in the early days of the Far East. Their social value after graduation is not as good as that of graduates of staff technical schools, and their position in various departments of the Far East Company is extremely embarrassing.

The company's propaganda and education department is also worried about the way out for these thousands of junior high school graduates, and can only take up miscellaneous jobs in various departments of the company. It just so happened that the company's agriculture and forestry department planned to train a large number of grassroots agricultural technicians, and the propaganda and education department sent these thousands of junior high school graduates over one by one.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry is also worried, grassroots agricultural technicians must have a certain cultural foundation, and there are really not many such people in the Far East Company, at least the displaced people who have only experienced illiteracy. The Ministry of Propaganda and Education sent thousands of graduates with "junior Chinese certificates" at once, and really solved the problems of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.

Thousands of junior high school graduates and a number of apprentices selected from within the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. After more than a year of intensive training and nearly a year of internship in the countryside, he has become a qualified grassroots agricultural technician. Of course, in the future, they will continue to practice and learn in their work, and gradually accumulate work experience.

Grassroots agricultural technicians face agriculture, rural areas, farmers, and are the front-line personnel of production. Their main responsibilities are: He taught the newly resettled displaced people in various regions of the Far East, mastered the planting methods of new crop varieties such as wheat, corn, and soybeans, had face-to-face contact with the people, went deep into the peasant households, went deep into the fields, and explained and demonstrated the techniques to the peasants.

Responsible for the promotion of agricultural technology in their respective regions, guide local agricultural production, investigate and study various situations in agricultural production, grasp the growth and development status of crops in each growth period, timely predict and predict the occurrence and time of diseases, insects and weeds, and provide reliable first-hand information to the higher departments. Guide the agricultural production work in various localities.

And after the season, according to the local planting situation, make scientific planning for the next season, and put forward reasonable suggestions for variety selection and bottom fertilizer ratio. Promote the scientific production method of soil organic compost in the vast number of rural areas, and scientifically fertilize and rationally match according to the local soil conditions.

During this year's winter training for displaced people, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry dispatched a large number of grassroots agricultural technicians who had just taken up their posts to give intensive lectures to the displaced people participating in the winter training. The main purpose is to teach the cultivation methods of new crops such as corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes that will be planted during the spring sowing period next year, as well as various other agricultural knowledge.

Next year, these displaced people for winter training will be resettled in various areas. A large number of grassroots agricultural technicians will also go down to various grassroots squadrons and brigades to go deep into the fields to provide technical support to the vast number of peasants.

In addition, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has also trained a large number of grassroots agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry technicians in livestock and poultry breeding, fungus cultivation, rabbit breeding, vegetable and fruit planting, fishery breeding, and forage planting.

Today, the amount of arable land in the Far East is very large, and it has been the result of many years of efforts by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. Not only did they cultivate excellent seeds, but they also promoted the work of organic compost on a large scale in various places, so that the level of agricultural production in the Far East was hundreds of years ahead of this era.

However, due to the extreme shortage of agricultural technicians, the yield per acre of farmland in the Far East is uneven. There is still a lot of potential to be tapped in many areas. The vast number of peasants are still following the primitive old methods of agricultural cultivation for the cultivation of new crops, which greatly restricts the development of agricultural productivity in the Far East.

Now that there are these grassroots agricultural technicians, they will go down to the grassroots rural areas to help the broad masses of peasants improve their productive forces, and the level of agricultural production in the Far East will be raised to a relatively large extent, and at least the yield per mu in some areas will increase by a lot.

In the next step, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of the company will continue to vigorously promote scientific poultry and livestock breeding, fish pond fish farming, mushroom cultivation, greenhouse vegetables, rice field fish farming, river crab farming, mink breeding, bee farming, forage planting, forest frog breeding and other advanced agricultural science and technology knowledge in the vast rural areas of the Far East, which can not only improve farmers' income, but also greatly enrich the non-staple food structure in various regions of the Far East.

In the future, the company's agriculture and forestry department will also establish a large number of state-owned farms in the Horqin grassland in northeast Liaoning, Ordos in Hetao, and Outer Northeast China, changing the previous nomadic breeding mode and vigorously developing intensive animal husbandry and breeding.

Using modern advanced breeding technology, a large number of modern pastures with perfect infrastructure, scientific management, resource conservation, environmental friendliness, quality and safety, high-quality ecology, high yield and high efficiency have been established. It has the characteristics of regionalization, large-scale breeding, improved varieties, production standardization, industrialization of management, and socialization of services.

Moreover, it is necessary to increase the breeds of cattle and sheep, such as the breeds of beef cattle and dairy cows that are suitable for the local cold environmental conditions brought by the company's agriculture and forestry department from the modern society, including Simmental cattle, Limousin cattle, Charolais cattle, Luxi cattle and other cattle breeds, as well as dairy cattle breeds Holstein cattle.

There are also Boer goats, small-tailed Han sheep, Dubo sheep, hornless Tausset sheep and other excellent breeding sheep, all of which have fast growth rate and fast reproduction, and some can give birth to three or five. It grows big, the maximum can grow two or three hundred catties, and it has the advantages of strong disease resistance, strong adaptability, and high meat yield.

It is also necessary to gradually increase the types of livestock, such as broiler hens, pheasants, black chickens, ducks, geese, quails, pigs, wild boars, meat donkeys, meat rabbits, otter rabbits, and other rich and diverse livestock breeding varieties, which can be intensively farmed on a large scale.

This requires the company's agriculture and forestry department to continuously train all kinds of grassroots agricultural technicians, strengthen the company's agricultural technical strength in various regions, and strive to improve the agricultural productivity of the Far East to a new level in the near future.
