Cooperation Irrigation

Through the empirical investigation to the villagers cooperation irrigated farmland In Xiangzhou District Sun Village, this paper examines and analyzes the characteristics and causes of the evolution for different periods of farmer cooperative irrigation from a historical perspective firstly, And then analyzes the performance and contact of the government, markets, villages and farmers in the cooperation plight since the tax and fee reform, on the basis summarizes the conclusions of the plight of farmers’ cooperative irrigation and farmers of cooperation in the future development trend.In the People’s commune period, the state has established a complete system of irrigation and water conservancy. which forced the farmers unified construction of water conservancy, through the co-operative and collectivization. But farmers’ cooperation system has many defects and shortcomings under the state-led. With the implementation of land household responsibility system, the people’s commune system of governance collapsed rapidly. But it does not mean the country has withdrawed from the cooperation of organizations of farmers completely, local government and rural organizations still charged the co-production fees and organized "two workers" to establish farmer cooperative irrigation.After the reform of rural taxes, the government has withdrawed from the organization of farmers’ cooperative irrigation, through the market, voluntary and equal manner, the farmers’ cooperative irrigation. But the market hasn’t overcome the high transaction costs and other issues, which is unwilling and unable to realize the farmers’ cooperative irrigated farmland. Meanwhile, the lack of social capital in rural areas, and paralysis of the village community supervision mechanism to punish free riders a mere formality have leaded to the plight of the farmers’ collective action.On the basis of the above analysis, the basic conclusion is:after the tax reform, iarmers’ cooperative dilemma has been caused by governmental organizations, in addition to market-oriented reforms of the irrigation and water conservancy to the basis, due to the market expensive transaction costs also do not want to contribute to farmers’ co-operation and the village community, slack, lack of social capital of the farmer cooperative multi-variable common result. To this end, the realization of farmers’ cooperation, we must build a farmer-centered self-organizing appropriate government intervention, the market actively participate in multi-party communication and coordination villages to actively support the interactive mode of cooperation, a not so-called one of the extremes or mechanical combination mode; In addition, farmers’ cooperation is gradually by "mechanical solidarity" to "organics solidarity" and rural society has been changing from the forced, homogeneous and lower division social to a high degree of division of labor, close cooperation and organic integration social community.
