The city and county Party committees are like traction engines pulling the agricultural development in their regions, the article says, and goes on:

Raising their roles is essentially required to attain the grain production goal for this year and put the agricultural production on the path of stable and sustained growth.

The committees are directly responsible for Party work in the rural areas. So only when they fully play their roles, will it be possible to give further boost to the revolutionary and patriotic passion of the officials, Party members and other working people all out to implement the Party's agricultural policy and to provide a sure guarantee for meeting the grain production plan for this year and also long-range plan.

The boosted roles of the committees mean a decisive guarantee for establishing our Party's view on agricultural development on ensuring the simultaneous and balanced development of all areas and farms in the country.

Cities and counties are just right units for establishing the mode and method for agricultural development to suit to the specific factors such as the awareness of agricultural workers and their way of life as well as natural and geographical characteristics of farms and their material and technological foundations. It is also the city and county Party organizations that have ability to ensure the effective guidance to narrow down the differences between workteams and farms as early as possible. When over 200 city and county Party committees all buckle down to propping up farming in their areas, it will bring about qualitative changes in the overall development of farming.

The committees should put all efforts into the development of farming in their areas, true to the intention of the Party Central Committee which put forward the grain production as a dominant eminence of crucial significance in attaining 12 major goals for the development of national economy this year.
