Abstract This paper interprets the concept of farmland lease stability from the dimensions of government, market and lease term, and validates the impact of the three dimensions of lease stability and their interactions on farmers' planting behavior. The results show that the lease stability of government dimension has a positive effect on “Grain Orientation” of farmer's planting behavior, and the lease stability of the leases dimension and the instability of market-oriented leases will significantly induce the “non-grain-based” planting choice of the transferred households. The estimated results of the interactive terms of the three dimensions show that the stability of the government-dimensional lease will weaken the positive effect of the market-dimensional lease instability on the “non-grainization” of the planting structure, while the instability of the lease in the market dimension will strengthen the positive effect of the lease stability on the “non-grainization”. The stability of the lease can eliminate the positive impact of government services on the “grain-oriented” planting structure. Further evidence shows that the transferee's understanding of national policies, transaction motives and land transfer disputes play a regulatory role in the planting impact of lease stability respectively. This paper emphasizes that the stability of leases has the dual genes of prior determination and post-impact. Therefore, strengthening government service functions, realizing long-term transfer to operation and stabilizing rent levels are important ways of improving the stability of the lease of both parties in the circulation transaction and adjusting the planting structure.
