The evaluation results showed that in the recent 10 years, the level of modern agricultural development in Xinjiang was in a rising trend, and in the medium to high position among the western provinces and regions. But the natural disaster preventing and control rate in Xinjiang rural areas was very low, agricultural science and technology contribution rate was not high, cultural quality of labor force was still low. According to the above conclusions, the paper put forward suggestions for development of modern agriculture in Xinjiang.
