Huo Haizhong, a farmer in Zhuning Village, Shanxi Province, holds a special card in his hand, a card that will help his future. It’s not a credit card, nor a debit card or special membership―it’s a farmer’s card, a large note card where Huo records information about crop yield, farm animals and his family’s income. It’s also a place where Huo can jot down problems on his farm and make suggestions to the local government.
