Henan, a large agricultural province, has reported more than once or twice on the problem of the farmland well, and a casual search on the Internet is almost once a year, and the report is paid attention to once, and there are still new problems in the second year, and the state has invested so much money in agriculture, and in the end this money has "served" whom?
Kick the ball back and forth
Event: The farmland machine well in Xiayi County is not working
Survey period: mid-June 2024
Personnel: Farmers of Xiayi County, Water Conservancy Bureau of Xiayi County, Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Xiayi County, Sangqi Township, Xiayi County, and Yangzhuang Village Committee
Exposure Media: Look at the news
Exposure time: July 6, 2024
In mid-June 2024, reporters who read the news reported that there was a severe drought in 16 prefectures and cities in Henan Province at that time, (the author also wrote an article about the drought in Shandong and Henan in June, calling for drought fighting), and at that time, farmers urgently needed water for irrigation of farmland.
The high-standard farmland machine well is a decoration
The reporter who read the news went to Xiayi County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province to investigate, and found that many machine wells could not be used, but the small houses of these machine wells were written with the words "Xiayi County High-standard Farmland Construction Project", but these machine wells that were supposed to serve agriculture, especially in the year of the great drought, could not be used.

Local farmers said that since they found that the well could not be used normally, they have reported the problem to the village many times, but it has not been resolved.
The reporter first called the Xiayi County Water Conservancy Bureau, and the staff of the Water Conservancy Bureau said that the wells in the farmland were now assigned to the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau.
The Water Conservancy Bureau asked me to find the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau
The reporter called the Xiayi County Agriculture and Rural Bureau, and the staff of the Agriculture and Rural Bureau asked the reporter to call the township.
The Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs asked to find Sangqi Township
The reporter was about to call the Sangqi Township Government, but unexpectedly received a call from the secretary of the village party committee of Yangzhuang Village, Sangqi Township, and the secretary of the village party committee came up and asked who had called the Agriculture and Rural Bureau to say that the village well could not be watered, and the reporter said yes, I asked.
As a result, the secretary of the village party committee did not ask the reporter about the well, but directly asked, where are you from, are you from Yangzhuang?
The reporter insisted on asking what should be done if there was no way to use the machine well in the village, but the secretary of the village party committee ignored the reporter at all, and still asked who the reporter was and what the names of the people in the family were.
The village committee does not ask questions, but directly asks for people
If you don't solve the problem, solve the person who raised the problem first
Obviously, it was someone from the Xiayi County Agriculture and Rural Bureau who revealed the reporter's phone number to the secretary of the Yangzhuang Village Party Committee, and the secretary of the village committee did not know the true identity of the reporter, and thought that it was a local villager who gave him "eye medicine", so he directly asked the true identity of the person who called to raise the problem, and relied on his identity as a village official to solve the problem first, so that the natural problem would not exist.
If the secretary of the village party committee knew that it was a reporter's call, I'm afraid he wouldn't have asked so much, either making up nonsense or saying official clichés or hanging up the phone directly.
As the relevant departments should come down to investigate and check whether the wells in the farmland can work normally, this is their job, but now it is good, the farmers have raised the problem in the hope of repairing the wells, but the result is not a response.
The reporter took a real shot
The Water Conservancy Bureau kicked the ball to the Agriculture and Rural Bureau, and the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau kicked the ball to the township government, but before the township government could kick the ball, the village committee had to "solve" the person who raised the problem, and when the ball stopped kicking, the crops in the field would die of drought.

Author's conclusion
This is a regular news media investigation has not gotten a definite answer, and it is conceivable that it is normal for farmers to report that their questions have not been responded to for a long time.
According to the authors' inquiry, the main sources of funding for high-standard farmland projects are central funds and local matching funds, local government bond funds, land transfer income for agricultural land development, policy-based financial instruments, and income from new cultivated land indicators.
The reporter took a real shot
So these wells are invested in the state for local farmers, agriculture services, so this fund is the state allocated the money, so why these "Xiayi County high-standard farmland construction project" wells can not be used, where is the problem of this project, if the project is really problematic, then the state allocated funds to whose pocket?
The state appropriation is for agricultural services, but now that the project has been implemented, the farmers can't use it, why didn't the relevant departments in the county and township that should have taken responsibility and obligation solve the problem at this moment, but kicked the ball?
I took a look at the local media reports in Xiayi County on September 1, 2022, and the secretary of the Xiayi County Party Committee and the county magistrate specialized in investigating the operation and management of farmland wells.
(This part of the information picture is from: Xiayi Today)
Surveyed on September 1, 2022, the well cannot be used in June 2024 in less than two years, so where is the problem?
The state has invested so much money in the configuration of these wells, and it is said that there are also intelligent irrigation functions, but until now, the local villagers have not even used them once, either they are empty shells, or they are not even connected to electricity.
