Abstract: To investigate the effect of the willingness of rural homestead circulation in major grain producing areas in northeastern China on the solution of the rural hollowing problem and the guarantee of food security, 300 farmers from Yi’an County in Heilongjiang Province were selected to be the participatory in the research. And the Logistic regression model was applied to conducting the quantitative analysis of farmers’ willingness and influencing factors of rural homestead circulation. The results showed that farmers’ willingness of homestead circulation was lower in major grain producing areas in northeastern China. Farmers in the rural homestead circulation considered both “economic rationality” and “living rationality”. The influencing factors of rural homestead circulation had some typical regional characteristics, and family population, resident population, homestead number, unused homestead and age, etc. were the major factors. Policy guidance should be strengthened in homestead circulation in major grain producing areas in northeastern China.
