This paper explores the growth effect and role decomposition of agricultural socialized service on farmers' agricultural income, and makes comparative analysis on farmers' self-cultivation model and agricultural socialized service model from the perspectives of agricultural production income, production cost and net income. Agricultural socialized service realizes the increase of grain output through the introduction of modern elements, thus promoting the growth of agricultural income and net income. Empirically, based on the survey data of grain farmers, multiple linear regression model and propensity score matching method are used to test, and heterogeneity analysis is performed according to grain varieties. The results show that agricultural socialized service can significantly increase the agricultural income of grain farmers. Compared with the farmers' self-cultivation model, the production cost of the agricultural socialized service model is significantly higher. The analysis shows that the input of modern factors is higher than the cost of farmers' traditional factors, but the resulting increase in output makes up for it. The comprehensive realization of farmers' adoption of agricultural socialized service brings significant improvement in agricultural production income and net income.
