Is there any difference between agriculture in China and that in the United States?

First of all, the agricultural population is different from the environment.

The conditions in the United States are vast territory with few people, strong industrial capacity and advanced production technology.

The national condition of China is a large population, and the government has invested ordinary labor to develop regional characteristic cash crops and develop modern large-scale agriculture with rich and excellent land. China's agricultural production technology and industry are also relatively advanced. Compared with the United States, each has its advantages and disadvantages.

Second, the level of agricultural production and management is different.

The level of agricultural mechanization in the United States is high, and the technological revolution of American agriculture began with mechanical technology. Agricultural modernization has experienced agricultural machinery revolution, chemical revolution, biological revolution and management revolution (not excluding their interweaving).

China is relatively poor in agricultural resources. There are many people but few land, and the population density is high. Objectively speaking, we must cherish agricultural resources, take the road of modern agricultural development and improve the output level of agricultural resources.

Third, the policies are different.

America is a country with a developed market economy. As farmers freely allocate agricultural resources according to market price signals and profit maximization standards to promote the process of continuous modernization, the American government has also taken many policies and measures to macro-intervene and regulate agricultural development according to the defects of the market mechanism itself, which has promoted the smooth development of agricultural modernization. At first, the government's intervention measures were limited to the circulation field, with the focus on maintaining the prices of agricultural products.

In order to give priority to the development of industry in China, for a long time, the state has used administrative power to extract the original accumulation of industrialization from agriculture through the "scissors difference" between workers and peasants, which has led to the transfer of agricultural resources to non-agricultural industries, and the self-accumulation ability of agriculture is very low.
