Work without working cease. In the long-term feudal society, land was privately owned, and farmers continued to lose their land and became tenant farmers. In 1949, the county's total cultivated land was 717,400 acres. Poor farmers and farm laborers, who accounted for 56.25% of the county's population, only accounted for 13.77% of the county's cultivated land. The farming system is backward and the multiple cropping index is extremely low. The county's total grain output is 138.6 million kilograms, with an average of 275 kilograms per capita. However, the working people actually own less, and their lives have been in extreme hardship for a long time.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, through land reform, mutual aid groups were organized, primary cooperatives were established, and advanced cooperatives were established. The feudal private land private system that had existed for thousands of years was completely eliminated. Agricultural productivity has been liberated and farmers' lives have been significantly improved. The Shihe Township Fanshen Cooperative’s hard work and one-year turnaround was highly praised by Chairman Mao Zedong. At the same time as the transformation of production relations, a series of reforms in farming systems such as low-yield to high-yield, late-maturing to early-maturing, and single-cropping to double-cropping were vigorously promoted, making Tongcheng County the most remarkable example of the promotion of double-cropping rice in Anhui Province. In 1958, when people's communes were implemented, blind command, exaggeration, and proletarian tendencies were rampant in production, and the rural economy was greatly damaged. In the early 1960s, the national economy underwent "adjustment, consolidation, enrichment, and improvement" and agricultural production regained new development. In 1965, the county's total grain output was 410.8 million jin, becoming the first county in Anhui Province whose grain output per mu exceeded the quota specified in the National Agricultural Development Outline (Draft). In 1971, the county's total grain output was 505.4 million jins, becoming the first county in Anhui Province with a grain output exceeding 1,000 jins per mu. Later, due to blindly following Dazhai, changing production relations at will, and one-sidedly emphasizing grain as the key link, agricultural economic development slowed down again. After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the household contract responsibility system was fully implemented, which fully mobilized the enthusiasm of farmers, and the agricultural economy entered a new stage of development. In 1986, Tongcheng was listed as a national commercial grain production base.
