The difference between modern agricultural machinery and before

The difference between modern agriculture and traditional agriculture;

First, the management objectives of traditional agriculture and modern agriculture are different.

Traditional agricultural production technology is backward, production efficiency is low, and farmers resist nature.

The ability of disasters is very limited, agricultural production is greatly affected by the natural environment, and the phenomenon of "relying on the weather to eat" is more common. In order to prevent natural disasters from threatening people's survival, farmers try their best to produce and store more food.

Unexpectedly, the production goal is to maximize the output, and the main means of increasing production is to increase labor input. The management goal of modern agriculture is to pursue the maximization of profit, that is, to obtain the maximum profit with a certain input.

Run. Because modern agriculture is the same as modern enterprises, employers have to pay their employees. Only when the marginal income of labor is greater than wages can employers make profits and increase labor input. Therefore, traditional agriculture should

In modern agriculture, it is necessary to change the goal of agricultural production from maximizing the output of self-consumption to maximizing the profit of commodity production. The first condition to complete this transformation is the decline of the proportion of agricultural labor force and agricultural population.

With the reduction of population pressure, it is impossible to realize the transformation of agricultural production objectives from tradition to modernization under the pressure of huge agricultural population.

Two, the technical content of traditional agriculture and modern agriculture is different.

The technological progress of agriculture is realized through the continuous input of modern agricultural elements condensed with advanced technology. Traditional elements are obtained from within the agricultural sector and nature, with low technical content and long-term stagnation.

States and countries invest less in agriculture, while agricultural production requires more labor. In this state where the contradiction between man and land is very prominent, the use of agricultural machinery will further aggravate this contradiction. Therefore, in traditional agriculture,

In society, the application and promotion of agricultural machinery are often restricted. Modern agriculture is agriculture armed with modern science and technology, and its elements are mostly provided by modern industrial departments and service departments other than agricultural departments.

The increase of modern agricultural factor input and the improvement of modern agricultural science and technology content mean the decrease of agricultural department's labor ability. Therefore, agricultural modernization cannot be separated from industrialization and the strategic transfer of agricultural population.

Third, the scale of operation of traditional agriculture and modern agriculture is different.

An obvious sign of modern agriculture is its scale benefit, which is because:

First, modern agriculture is an agriculture in which operators pursue profit maximization. This goal cannot be achieved on the basis of small-scale or ultra-small-scale traditional agriculture aimed at satisfying self-sufficient consumption, and can only be achieved on the basis of large-scale operation in which farmers get rid of the pressure of producers' survival and pursue profit maximization.

Second, modern agriculture is high-income agriculture. Throughout the developed countries in the world, farmers are relatively wealthy with higher incomes, which must be based on large-scale agricultural management.

Third, modern agriculture is an agriculture with high commodity rate of agricultural products. To measure the development level of a country's agriculture, the key is to look at the commodity rate of its agricultural products, which is bound to be related to the larger scale of agricultural management.

Fourth, modern agriculture is high-tech agriculture. Traditional agriculture mainly uses manpower and animal power, while modern agriculture is armed with modern mechanical technology, modern biochemical technology and modern management technology. In particular, the application of large-scale agricultural machinery must have large-scale working space, so it also needs large farm scale.
