山东的小麦、棉花、花生年产量分别占全国的8.1%、27%和34%左右。在多种自然灾害并发特别是连年大旱的情况下,1988年全省粮食产量比1978年增长41%,棉花增长6.4倍,油料增长1.1倍。除了政策因素外,农业机械化和水利设施发挥了重要作用。实践证明,农机化是农村经济发展中起长久作用的稳定力量。在这个问题上,早抓早主动,不抓就被动。粮、棉、油产量要实现新的突破,最现实、最有效、潜力最大的是依靠科技进步。农机化作为农村科技进步的一个重要方面,不仅有替代效益、抗灾作用。 The annual output of wheat, cotton and peanut in Shandong accounts for 8.1%, 27% and 34% of the national total respectively. Under various natural disasters, especially in successive years, the province’s grain output in 1988 increased by 41% over 1978, that of cotton increased by 6.4 times and that of oil by 1.1 times. In addition to policy factors, agricultural mechanization and water conservancy facilities have played an important role. Practice has proved that agricultural mechanization is a stable force that has played a long-term role in the rural economic development. On this issue, we should take the initiative as early as possible and we should not be passive. To achieve new breakthroughs in grain, cotton and oil production, the most realistic, effective and potential is to rely on scientific and technological progress. As an important aspect of rural science and technology progress, agricultural mechanization not only has the effect of substitution and disaster relief.
