"Machine substitution" puts agriculture into "technology wings"

On May 31, the reporter went to Xiawan Village of Chatian Town. I saw a Rice Transplanter in the farmland working in the order, and rows of green seedlings were neatly inserted into the farmland.

“Using the rice transplanter is not only labor-saving, but also very efficient.” Fang Laigen told reporters that the rice transplanter can transplant nearly 20 acres per day. If artificial rice transplanting is used, 200 yuan per mu, the price is high, and often it is not hired. When you arrive, you will delay farming.

"Now farming can not be compared with before. In the past, it was very hard to plant more than 20 acres of rice a year. Now it uses machinery to save time and labor." Fang Laigen is a large grain grower, his cooperative breeding machine, harvester , dryers and other agricultural machinery are readily available.

Fang Laigen’s experience is just a microcosm of the “machine substitution” of agriculture in our city. In recent years, according to the actual agricultural production, the city has accelerated the development of agricultural mechanization, and has used the agricultural machinery to purchase subsidies, and has continued to accelerate the “machine substitution” process in the agricultural sector, largely solving the shortage of labor, the lack of scale management, and technology. Problems such as slow promotion have greatly increased labor productivity.

While the city is doing a good job in providing rice for centralized supply and gradually increasing the level of rice transplanting, it has established a joint cooperative of farmers' professional cooperatives to achieve regional coordination of agricultural machinery resources. "This year, the Nanxiang Rice Professional Cooperatives Association of our city was established to integrate and share resources in information, technology and services." The staff of the Municipal Agriculture Bureau introduced the scheduling of operation services between members of the Association through regional co-ordination. Achieve closer cooperation in the supply of agricultural materials, agricultural machinery maintenance, grain drying, processing and sales, so as to achieve the goal of reasonable sharing of machinery, reduce operating costs and prevent operational risks. At the same time, in addition to the agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy, members of the United Society will purchase two-thirds of the central subsidy fund. The increase in agricultural machinery subsidy funds has spurred the enthusiasm of members of the United Society to purchase large-scale agricultural machinery, optimized the structure of agricultural machinery and equipment, and improved the efficiency of agricultural machinery operations.

"Agricultural modernization is inseparable from mechanization." Up to now, the city has a total of 5,924 farming machinery, 6 breeding lines, 5 rice transplanters, 25 rice combine harvesters, 6 grain dryers, and 15869 irrigation and plant protection machines. . The agricultural mechanization levels of the leading industries were: 40.51% for rice, 83% for edible fungi, 78.2% for tea, 28% for vegetables, and 32% for livestock.

In addition, the city's advantageous agricultural machinery and equipment have also developed rapidly, with 15,348 edible fungi machinery, 508 tea production machinery and 197 animal husbandry machinery.
