Increasing income for grain farmers is crucial to mobilise farmers' incentive for grain cultivation. This article, based on the survey data of 2032 wheat growers in Anhui Province, China, employs the Logit model, multinomial Logit model, and entropy balance-OLS regression method to empirically analyze the factors influencing wheat growers' participation in agricultural industrial organization models and the impact of their participation decisions on planting returns. The research found that: (1) Wheat growers with richer resource endowments are more likely to participate in agricultural industrial organization models. Factors such as household head's education level, training experience, quality of arable land, scale of operation, and labor endowment are crucial determinants of wheat growers' decisions to participate in industrial organization models. (2) Participation in agricultural industrial organizations significantly enhances the net income of wheat growers. Comparatively, the income-boosting effect is more pronounced for those participating in the "household + farmer cooperatives/agricultural enterprises" model. (3) The mechanisms through which wheat growers' participation in different agricultural industrial organization models affects their crop yields vary. The income-enhancing effects of wheat growers' participation in the "household + farmer cooperatives/agricultural enterprises" model of industrial organization primarily stem from the improvement in land productivity and market bargaining power. On the other hand, the income-enhancing effects of participation in the "household + village collective + farmer cooperatives/agricultural enterprises" model are mainly attributed to the improvement in market bargaining power. The policy implication is that priority should be given to cultivating and developing industrial organisations based on the model of "household + farmers' co-operatives/agribusinesses" in regions where farmers are richly endowed with resources, and at the same time, the development of industrial organisations based on the model of "household + village collectives + farmers' co-operatives/agribusinesses" should be supplemented in accordance with local conditions. At the same time, the development of "household + village collectives + farmers' cooperatives/agribusinesses" mode is supplemented according to local conditions.
提高种粮农民收入对于调动农民种粮积极性至关重要。本文基于中国安徽省 2032 户小麦种植户的调查数据，运用 Logit 模型、多项 Logit 模型和熵平衡-OLS 回归方法，实证分析了影响小麦种植户参与农业产业化组织模式的因素以及参与决策对种植回报的影响。研究发现：（1）资源禀赋较丰富的小麦种植户更有可能参与农业产业化组织模式。户主受教育程度、培训经历、耕地质量、经营规模和劳动禀赋等因素是决定小麦种植户参与产业组织模式决策的关键因素。（2）参与农业产业化组织显著提高了小麦种植户的净收入。相比之下，参与“农户+农民合作社/农业企业”模式对提高收入的效果更为显著。（3）小麦种植户参与不同农业产业化组织模式影响其作物产量的机制不同。参与“农户+农民合作社/农业企业”产业化组织模式提高收入的主要原因是土地生产力和市场谈判能力的提高。另一方面，参与“农户+村集体+农民合作社/农业企业”模式提高收入的主要原因是市场谈判能力的提高。政策含义是，在资源禀赋丰富的地区，应优先培育和发展以“农户+农民合作社/农业企业”为基础的产业化组织模式，同时根据当地情况补充发展以“农户+村集体+农民合作社/农业企业”为基础的产业化组织模式。同时，根据当地情况补充发展“农户+村集体+农民合作社/农业企业”模式。
