According to a report by China Agriculture, Rural Affairs and Rural Affairs on April 22, the Northeastern region is currently experiencing a busy spring plowing season. Many growers in Kailu County, Inner Mongolia, reported that town and village cadres prevented them from going to the fields to farm, and they had to pay for farming. However, they had previously A land contract has been signed.
In the video, a deputy director of the Shuangsheng Village Committee of Jianhua Town, Kailu County, said when he stopped the growers from spring plowing, “No matter what happens in the past 110 years, if I am asked to collect money, I will collect money.” In addition, there are also town cadres in Jianhua Town who stop them. Farmers are plowing the land and forcefully demanding that their vehicles be impounded. Ji Yunhao, deputy secretary of the town’s party committee and political and legal committee member, said in the report, “Don’t look for me, I don’t understand the law!”
It turns out that more than 10 years ago, these little-explored wastelands contracted by villagers turned the barren meadows into irrigated lands. This was not due to changes in national policies, but the result of the hard work of the contractors. According to town and village cadres, these growers currently have two choices: pay “additional contract fees” or terminate the contract.
More importantly, how could it become a matter of “seizing collective resources” even though it was still within the contract period? Who is breaking the law, and who should bear the responsibility for undermining the rule of law and delaying spring plowing? The local government department requires these growers to pay another 200 yuan per mu of land. What exactly does this so-called “additional contract fee” count for needs to be thoroughly investigated.
On April 23, Mr. Zhang, the farmer involved, told the Beijing News that agricultural machinery had entered the fields to plow the land, and the local government has not yet collected “additional contract fees” from them. Mr. Zhang and others jointly contracted 5,600 acres of land. The land contract period is 30 years, and the fees have been fully paid in 2022. “Half Moon Talk” reported that on April 23, Yang Hua, Party Secretary of Shuangsheng Village in Jianhua Town, responded to the incident of “farmers pay first for farming” and said, “The money was collected by the county.”
In this regard, some mainland netizens ridiculed, “They are blocking farmers from sowing, and the party committee does not understand the law. This means there is a traitor in the organization!” “When farmers can make money by farming, farmers will have no land.” “I will collect money if I am told to do so. This is not a village committee. This reminds me of the bullies in movies and TV shows!” “They are all gangsters!”
