Abstract:Based on the survey of 228 households in Cangshan county,Shandong Province,this paper analysed and summarized the characteristics of the willingness of farmers’ farm land transfer in and transfer out.The results showed that farmers’ willningess was not very strong,and the willingness to transfer in was significantly higher than that to transfer out; the heads of the households willing to transfer farm land were farmers between 40-59 years old,relatively poor in knowledge but have strong legal awareness ;the farmers would rather transfer to the large farm land and they could stay there for a long time.The willingness to transfer in was significantly affected by environment; farmers tend to transfer most of their farm land out by the way of private rental and the role of social protection of agricultural land remains strong.This paper finally puts forward several brief suggestions on how to push forward reasonable and smooth transfer of farm land.
