Abstract:Based on qualitative investigation materials from a village in Shandong province,this paper explored the relationship between family farm,a new agricultural management subject,and village by depicting the situation of land circulation and agricultural wage workers.Research has shown that family farm,formed and run by professional farmers of the village,can work smoothly,which is closely connected with its involvement in local social network of the village.On the other hand,the mode of family farm has shown the characteristics of modern market economy in its development,which is obviously different from the traditional mode of the smallscale production.And these characteristics are embodied specifically as the contractual relationship attached to the land circulation based on the acquaintance network, and the monetization trend of agricultural wage workers though they are helpers based on the traditional human relations,etc.
