This is basically consistent with previous findings. In addition, investment in agricultural informationization and broadband access rate also influenced the growth of agricultural economy in Hubei Province. Therefore, government should further improve the infrastructure of agricultural informationization, strengthen training of farmers’ information skills, establish auxiliary mechanism for achievement feedback of information-based agricultural production, increase the contribution rate of informationization to agricultural operation and management, promote the contribution of informationization to the growth of agricultural economy, so as to increase agricultural income of farmers.
