Cultivated land is a scarce resource. It is the essence of land resources and the wealth of human society. With the development of economy and the promotion of urbanization, the contradictions between land protection and economic development are becoming increasingly acute. How to protect the limited cultivated land resources has becoming a universal concern issue. And also it is an important issue which China will face long term. In order to protect the limited resources, China has implemented the most strict farmland protection policy. However, the existing protection policy failed to bring it into play. The amount of cultivated land resource ever increasing, and the quality of cultivated land resource continued to show a decline trend. Peasant households, as an important subject of farmland protection, are the organizers of land use and farmland protection actors. Peasant households'actions and behavior is an important factor which will affect the farmland protection. Not only did the farmers in the current system of environmental and developmental conditions not form a farmland protection internal impetus, but also the farmers formed a desire of giving up the farmland. So it is urgent to change the land protection ideas, to research how to stimulate the farmers protect the land of independence and initiative, from the view of perspective relations of economic interests.This paper analysis the farmers' awareness about the related content of farmland protection, the farmers land protection action and the various compensations based on the farmers' view which takes Xuyong county as an example.
