Interaction Between Agricultural Mechanization and Farmers′ Income in Xinjiang

To promote the development of agricultural modernization in Xinjiang. Taking the time series data of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from 1995 to 2020 as an example, this paper discussed the relationship between agricultural mechanization level and farmers′ operating income and wage income by constructing VAR. The analysis showed that agricultural mechanization had a significant impact on farmers′ operating income in the long run; At 5% significance level, there was no causal relationship between agricultural mechanization and farmers′ wage income; However, there was a single causal relationship between agricultural mechanization and farmers′ operating income, that is, the improvement of agricultural mechanization will lead to the increase of farmers′ operating income; The variance results showed that the farmers′ operating income in the current period was basically contributed by themselves, but since the 10^th period, the contribution rate of agricultural mechanization to the farmers′ living standard had begun to exceed, but the difference between the two was not significant. Suggestions: increase agricultural machinery subsidies to promote the development of agricultural mechanization; Publicity and training should be combined to enhance farmers′ enthusiasm for using agricultural machinery.
