Therefore,based on the survey data of cultivating high-quality farmers in Hubei Province in 2023 and the data of cultivating professional farmers from 2016 to 2022,regression analysis was conducted using Ologit model and mediation effect model.The results indicated that:①Regardless of the identity attribute of indi-vidual attribute of farmers,participating in high-quality farmer training and increasing the training time limit are beneficial for driving an in-crease in farmers' income.②The cultivation of high-quality farmers promotes the increase of farmers' income mainly through three intermedi-ate channel variables:skill improvement,theoretical enrichment,and network expansion,all of which have a complete mediating effect.③The cultivation of high-quality farmers through large-scale production also requires the promotion of"moderate scale operation".Based on this,sug-gestions were put forward to strengthen funding expenditures,expand the scale of cultivation,deepen the reform of cultivation courses,en-hance professionalism,and establish a sound mechanism for assessing post training income.
