Digital Empowerment of Inner Mongolia's Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Shows "Technology"

  How to manage hundreds of sheep efficiently?

How much feed and water does each sheep eat every day, and is there any sickness?

Now on the grassland, herders can "graze cattle and sheep" with a mobile phone.

Ji Ya, a herder from Etuokeqian Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, said that his smart sheep shed of more than 600 square meters has realized fully automated breeding, and can complete forage feeding, water supply, drug delivery, and sheep pens with only a mobile phone. Humidification, air purification of sheep pens and intelligent cleaning of sheep dung.

  "Now you can go out with confidence for a few days, and you can check the situation in the pen at any time with your mobile phone, which is much more convenient than before." On Jiya's mobile phone, the dynamic data of the herd can be obtained from the management cloud platform in real time every day. It records in detail the species and quantity of specific feed fed each day, and clearly indicates the specific feed mixing ratio.

  "More powerful functions are yet to come!" Jiya opened the flock health page from the system, and the real-time health status of each sheep was clear at a glance.

“The platform can use big data to find out whether the sheep is healthy based on their walking posture and number of steps. If the sheep is sick, we can arrange for a veterinarian for treatment in time.”

  This is a microcosm of the digital empowerment of rural revitalization in Inner Mongolia.

In October 2020, Tuoketuo County in Hohhot City, Etuoke Qianqi in Ordos City, and Zhalaite Banner in Xing'an League were approved as national digital rural pilot areas (117 counties nationwide).

At the end of September this year, Inner Mongolia held an on-site promotion meeting for digital village work in the whole region, and proposed to focus on the main goals and key tasks of digital village construction, focusing on the characteristics and characteristics of digital village construction in Inner Mongolia, insisting on piloting first, exploring typical models, and promoting high-quality digital village construction.

  "High-tech" to create a new model for the development of modern agriculture and animal husbandry

  Today, in Inner Mongolia, high-tech is showing its "charm" in all links and stages of agricultural and animal husbandry production.

  "Our goal is to turn the agricultural tourism and leisure experience area of ​​the industrial park into an agricultural park, realizing the three-combination of economic, cultural and ecological benefits." Xu Huimin, director of the Management Committee of the Modern Agriculture Demonstration Zone in Zalaite Banner, said that the rice fields here are not only It grows rice and "grows" fish, lobsters, crabs, ducks, etc., realizing the new modern agricultural development model of "multiple use in one place, multiple benefits in one fell swoop, and multiple harvest in one season", which saves water and soil resources and improves resource utilization. It also improved the quality of rice, and gave birth to the private customized brand "My Unique Land".

  Private custom-made and claimed agriculture in the demonstration zone has become a common practice, and "I own unique fields" can be seen everywhere.

According to the on-site staff, customers who claim the base guarantee an annual output of more than 400 kilograms of high-quality rice per mu, of which rice fish, rice shrimp, and rice crabs also belong to the customers.

Claiming the rice field industry has freed farmers from yield dependence, and has also changed the old way of putting rice on the table through multiple intermediate links, ensuring the quality of agricultural products from the source.

In terms of management, the demonstration area uses satellite remote sensing technology to observe the growth of rice, and various agricultural production indicators such as irrigation, fertilization, and temperature control can be achieved through mobile phone operations.

  Zhalaite Banner National Modern Agricultural Industrial Park was recognized as the first batch of national modern agricultural industrial parks in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in 2018.

In the past four years, Zalaite Banner has invested a total of 1.55 billion yuan to build a 100,000 acres of smart agriculture demonstration area, use industrial park awards to supplement funds of 45.48 million yuan, and build a "smart brain, smart farm, agricultural professional laboratory, and traceability system." The integrated digital agricultural and rural science and technology service center guides agricultural informatization operations and enhances the level of digital application.

  At present, the whole flag's rice planting area has reached more than 900,000 mu, with an annual output of 300,000 tons of green high-quality rice. The quality and brand have been significantly improved, and the entire process has been initially digitalized.

  Inner Mongolia Aiyangniu Technology Co., Ltd. is an incubating enterprise of Microsoft's big data and artificial intelligence application incubation base in Helinger New District, Inner Mongolia. The ranch provides personalized services, refined pricing and product OEMs, annual budget purchases and planned purchases of agricultural and animal husbandry products, and long-term layout for end users, thereby forming long-term cooperative relationships with suppliers.

  "In order to solve the problem of the lack of openness and transparency of the procurement channels of the upstream small and medium-sized pastures and the difficulty of financing, we created the Aiyang Cattle Data Platform. Using the advantages of big data analysis, let cattle farmers see the "spring", support enterprises to generate income, and help enterprises. Overcome difficulties. According to the feedback, the platform eliminated the price difference between the middlemen and made the actual price of the supplies transparent, thereby reducing unnecessary expenditures for users and allowing them to have more profit returns." Inner Mongolia Aiyang Technology Co., Ltd. Said Liu Xiaojiang, president of the company.

  After the outbreak, many pastures across the country faced a series of practical problems such as shortage of forage and poor transportation capacity.

During the epidemic, the platform had an average of more than 3,000 farm material orders per month, which solved the "immediate need" for nearly a thousand farms.

  "Hui" farming promotes the upgrading of agricultural industry

  When it comes to the autumn harvest, many people will think of the scenes of "facing the loess and back to the sky" in the past. However, in Zhalaite Banner, Inner Mongolia, the "high-tech" represented by the "unmanned harvester" appeared on the scene, opening the autumn harvest with "no one" "The model has changed the traditional agricultural working methods.

  “My family has planted more than 200 mu of rice. This year, I used an unmanned harvester to harvest 70 mu in one hour, and it took more than three hours.” Huang Yu, a grower in Wudaohezi Village, Zhalaite Banner, said with a smile that he now Become a "idle" in the busy farming season, everything from spring planting to autumn harvesting is mechanized, and farming is fast and efficient.

  How is unmanned harvesting achieved?

According to the technical staff, “The unmanned harvester uses Beidou satellite navigation to add sensors and controllers. As long as the harvesting area is set in the system before the operation, the harvester can automatically plan the optimal path and the best operation method. The user stands On the ridge, the automatic operation can be realized by pressing the start switch on the operating end."

  The advancement of agricultural machinery technology has made the wheat harvest more and more "high-precision and strong" and more and more "smart".

UAVs are flying in the sky, and APPs are in their hands. Now in Inner Mongolia, many kinds of farmers who have spent most of their lives have upgraded from farming to "hui" farming.

Mechanized, automated, and intelligent modern agriculture has freed everyone's hands.

  In the intelligent greenhouse of Ordos Hongye Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Development Co., Ltd., Li Hong, the person in charge, is discussing the installation plan of the intelligent sprinkler irrigation system with the professor of Huazhong Agricultural University through mobile video.

While holding his mobile phone, he discussed the installation and construction plan of the farm's intelligent underground sprinkler irrigation system project with the design unit, and hurried to the test field in the southeast corner of the farm.

  "This project is part of the whole process of intelligent agricultural production." Li Hong said that this intelligent sprinkler irrigation system is equipped with a sprinkler at an interval of 1 meter, and uses solar panels and other equipment to automatically control the pump, which can not only realize automatic irrigation. , It also increases the integration of water and fertilizer, and accelerates the formation of an efficient and low-consumption smart model.

  The sprinkler irrigation system of the intelligent greenhouse of Ordos Hongye Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Development Co., Ltd. is only a microcosm of the intelligent empowerment of agricultural production by Etuoke Qianqi.

  In recent years, Etuoke Qianqi has actively introduced informatization into the whole process of agricultural production, built smart farms and smart greenhouses, collected and monitored parameters such as soil temperature, moisture, and pH in real time, and popularized intelligent temperature control, humidity control, and irrigation. And other systems, with technological innovation to promote the upgrading of the agricultural industry, and an intelligent and convenient "Internet +" modern agricultural system has been initially established.

  "Cloud Store" boosts "Taste of Inner Mongolia"

  In the early winter, the temperature in Inner Mongolia dropped sharply, but in the Fuying Condiment Cooperative in Xinyingzi Town, Tuoketuo County, Hohhot City, the person in charge, Dong Lianzhu, and the workers worked enthusiastically.

In a live broadcast that just ended, an internet celebrity anchor sold nearly 300 bottles of scallion sesame oil in his factory. He and the workers had to pack the goods before the express arrived in the afternoon.

  Dong Lianzhu has been in the condiment business for 16 years. Starting from 2020, he will focus more on online sales. "In the past year, online sales have been almost the same as offline channels, and online sales will soon exceed online sales. Down. The sales model is changed by the Internet." Dong Lianzhu said.

  In 2020, Tuoketuo County held two live broadcasts by the county magistrate at the e-commerce public service center, achieving a total of 11,097 online sales. Many participating merchants have tasted the sweetness of live streaming for the first time; and now , More and more people have joined live streaming sales.

Last year, Tuoketuo County became the first batch of national digital village pilots, and it also passed the acceptance of the "Integrated Demonstration County of E-commerce Entering Rural Areas".

  Not only Tuoketuo County, but also among farmers and herdsmen all over Inner Mongolia, there is a boom in "live-streaming sales". The "cloud store" boosts the "Taste of Inner Mongolia", and "live-streaming sales" is increasingly becoming a rural revitalization. A new way.

  Beef jerky, grassland liquor, linseed oil, dried beef chili sauce, cashmere quilt... In the live broadcast room of the e-commerce experience store (Beijing Daxing store) of Zhengxiang Baiqi Agricultural Specialty Products in Inner Mongolia, the staff is promoting the "Taste of Inner Mongolia" online .

  In order to promote the up-sale of special agricultural products of Zhengxiang Baiqi, Zhengxiang Baiqi E-commerce Public Service Center launched a live broadcast event with the theme of "Helping Rural Revitalization" in Daxing District, Beijing.

The event was carried out in the mode of "online promotion + offline exhibition" and "live interaction + remote connection with wheat", and the transaction amount reached more than 250,000 yuan.

During the event, the anchor of Zhengxiang Baiqi E-commerce Center and the anchor of Beijing Experience Store Lianmai introduced the series of high-quality products under the public brand "Ming'an Mudu", and better promoted the public brand "Ming'an Mudu". , Enhance brand awareness.

  With the rise of the digital economy, a group of farmers and herdsmen have seized the opportunity in the vast rural and pastoral areas of Inner Mongolia, using mobile phones as new farm tools, live broadcasting as new farming activities, using the field as the setting and green ecology as a selling point to promote agricultural products. , Selling mountain products, opened a new way to get rich.

  "We have integrated all the agricultural and animal husbandry cooperatives of Etuoke Qianqi, as well as the various agricultural and animal husbandry products of small and micro enterprises, to form a large supply chain, so that each anchor’s live broadcast room can produce more than 100 kinds of Products, fans can buy a lot of products in any host’s live broadcast room.” said Li Yanjun, captain of the Etuoke Qianqi "e Net Love" volunteer service team for farmers.

  In order to help farmers and herdsmen broaden their sales channels, starting from 2019, Etuoke Qianqi has established a "e-net deep" volunteer service team to help farmers, and built a live broadcast base for farmers, relying on Khan Suridi Dairy Products Co., Ltd. to live broadcast. The platform attracts more than 30 Internet experts across the flag to participate in voluntary service activities. It not only opens "cloud stores" through platforms such as Douyin Kuaishou to sell the products of local farmers and herdsmen, but also opens an online harvest festival every day. There are two to three anchors in the live broadcast base for helping farmers to carry out live delivery, powder fanning, full reduction, and combined sales. On average, more than 300 orders can be sold per live broadcast.

  In order to smooth digital sales channels, Etuoke Qianqi has continuously improved the functional layout of infrastructure, insisted on the overall planning of urban and rural areas, integrated data resources, accelerated the development of broadband communication networks, mobile Internet, digital television networks and next-generation Internet in rural and pastoral areas, and built a total of 4G macros. There are 654 stations and 44 5G base stations, achieving full coverage of broadband hotspots in towns, towns, and urban areas across the banner, with 100% optical fiber access rate in administrative villages, and steadily increasing information and communication infrastructure support capabilities.

  Dare to be the first, the typical first.

Inner Mongolia has rapidly promoted the construction of digital villages in an all-round, multi-field, and in-depth manner. The urban-rural "digital gap" has gradually narrowed, and more farmers and herdsmen will share the dividends of the digital economy.

From relying on experience to relying on data, a blueprint for the development of digitally strong agriculture, digital village governance, and digital enrichment is slowly unfolding.
