As an agricultural country,agriculture has always been valued in China.The development of agriculture not only is the backbone of the national economy,but also has an important significance for the healthy and sustainable development of national food security.As one of China's three major staple foods,corn has the characteristics of strong adaptability and large potential for yield increase.It takes the biggest grain planting area in China and its output ranks second.Therefore,the development of the corn industry occupies a very important position in China's agricultural production.Hohhot locates in China's golden corn belt,where the unique climate and water conditions as well as land resources all contribute to the continuous expansion of the maize industry.The increase in maize production is closely related to the investment in land resources,labor force,capital,production costs,agricultural science and technology,and policies etc,but ultimately depends on agricultural production activity.As conductors of agricultural production,farmers' production activity is an important factor affecting the production and stable supply of grain.Studying the influencing factors of farmers' decision-making is of great significance for adjusting agricultural structure and increasingfarmers' income.Based on regional economics theory,behavioral economics theory and farmers' activity theory,and by use of empirical analysis,qualitative and quantitative analysis and descriptive statistical analysis methods,this paper is to analyze the current situation and other major issues of maize production in Hohhot and to explore the internal and external factors that influence the farmers' activity in planting corn from a micro-farming households' view.Then,relevant conclusions and policy recommendations have been drawn up to increase the farmers' economic benefits,income and their enthusiasm to grow corn,and thus to promote the sustainable development of corn production.
