Today's Situation of the Agricultural Organization and the Transition of Rural Community

在这项研究中，我们试图阐明日本稻米生产转型对农村社会的影响。分析了湿稻产区水稻生产的趋势和稻农的态度。自1955年以来，中国经济的快速增长带来了水稻种植机械化程度的显著提高和农业与非农劳动相结合的增加。由此，这些地区出现了三种类型的稻农意愿。一种是单独种植水稻，另一种是其他作物的组合，主要收入来自非农业来源。相应地，出现了新的组织，其明确的目的之一是促进合作农场的经营和管理。大约在1960年左右，湿稻农民开始从事联合种植。水稻生产集团有三种类型。一种是联合使用农机，另一种是按照协议进行集体耕种，耕种他人的全部或部分土地。虽然农业生产联盟仍然被认同为哈姆雷特，但哈姆雷特与各种组织之间的区别越来越不可避免。大米生产集团越来越多地以自身利益为目标。

In this study, we tried to illuminate how the rural society is influenced by the transition of the rice production in Japan. We have made analyses of the tendency of rice production and rice farmer's attitude in the wet-rice production areas. Rapid economic growth since 1955 brought about dramatically the mechanization in rice cultivation and the increase to combine agriculture with non-farm work. Consequently, three types of rice farmer's intention appeared these areas. One for sole cultivation of rice, and the other for combination of other kind crops, and for chief income from non-farming source. Accordingly, new organizations have appeared, one express purpose of which is to facilitate cooperative farm operation and management. Wet-rice farmers began to engage in joint cultivation around 1960. Rice production groups are of three types. One for joint to use of a farming machine, and the other for collective cultivation based on agreements, and for farming all or part of someone else's land. Although the agricultural production union is still identified with the hamlet, but the distinction between hamlet and various organization is more and more inevitable. Rice production groups increasingly aim at self-interest.
