Due to the rapid development of the economy, science, and technology, we have noticed a trend where less and less attention is being paid to the modernization and development of labor and reading concerning agricultural teaching methods. Using the entropy weight method and the analytic hierarchy process, this paper empirically evaluates the practical aspects of interdisciplinary farming at agricultural colleges. In addition, it analyzes problems with current practical teaching methods from the perspectives of curriculum materials, practical education, educational platforms, and teachers. We also put forward corresponding ideas and suggestions for practical teaching methods related to interdisciplinary farming. The results show the following: ⅰ) A student's sense of responsibility to develop agriculture should be cultivated by integrating the cultural elements of agriculture with science curricula. ⅱ) Faculties with knowledge of interdisciplinary practices should be set up to improve students' abilities regarding practical activities. ⅲ) A practical teaching platform should be established to provide conditions for interdisciplinary integration. ⅳ) The previous conclusion requires schools to cultivate high-level teachers to maximize their leading role; only in this way can the process of agricultural education be comprehensively promoted. In this paper, by studying practical farming teaching methods at agricultural colleges and universities, we found that farming culture can be enhanced by educational culture. The cultivation of agricultural talents in the new era can be aided by helping students understand and appreciate agriculture, and by disseminating farming culture, agricultural talent can be cultivated among these students. Furthermore, this study focuses on cultivating excellent talent in terms of technical agriculture and rural management, thus combining theory and practice, which will promote the spirit of labor among students, as well as professional quality. This will ensure the constant innovation of agricultural and nonagricultural professional services for agriculture, rural areas, and farmers.
