Abstract: 【Objective】 This paper is to acquaint the spatial-temporal features, the developing trend of geographic agglomeration and its effects of crop farming. 【Method】 The degree of geographic agglomeration of crop farming was analyzed by comprehensive application of regional Gini index, industry agglomeration rate, regional average agglomeration rate and space correlation index. The agglomeration effects were analyzed by introducing the degree of agglomeration into the C-D production function model. 【Result】 It is found that crop farming generally has significant geographic agglomeration features which differ a lot among different industries. Geographic agglomeration of crop farming tends to be enhanced continuously, which has obvious stage characteristics. The geographic agglomeration features of crop farming are more and more specialized and flaked. The geographic agglomeration of crop farming has a significant positive effect on the industry growth. 【Conclusion】 China should strive to enhance and improve building infrastructure, ameliorate regional management and services, create a favorable external environment for the development of agriculture agglomeration; promoting agricultural specialization and regionalization process should be based on comparative advantages.

Key words: crop farming , geographic agglomeration , regional Gini index , industry agglomeration rate
