China News Service, Huzhou, February 28 (Reporter Shi Zinan) During the spring plowing season, in the 100-acre fertile field of Donglin Town, Wuxing District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, rows of ridges and furrows are straight and neat.

Brothers Shang Nianjun and Shang Xiaojun are skillfully manipulating the drone to fertilize at the edge of the field.

　　"Compared with manual fertilization, using drones saves time and effort. It can fertilize 50 acres in one hour." Shang Xiaojun said that now is the critical stage of fertilizing and weeding wheat and rapeseed. Only by doing a good job in field management can we ensure Crops are growing well year-round.

　　In 2017, Shang Nianjun came to Huzhou, Zhejiang from his hometown of Yuanjiang, Hunan to contract land and started his agricultural career.

Influenced by his elder brother, Shang Xiaojun also became interested in agriculture and joined the "farming" industry the following year. The brothers established Huzhou Wuxing Daofeng Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Daofeng Agriculture").

　　Over the past few years, the Shang brothers have not only changed from "layouts" to "farming experts", but also made good use of scientific and technological means in the process of agricultural development, introduced advanced agricultural machinery and equipment, and inserted "technical" wings for agricultural production.

　　"Agricultural industrialization is an inevitable requirement to get rid of the traditional agricultural development model and accelerate agricultural modernization. The key to agricultural modernization lies in the modernization of agricultural science and technology." Shang Nianjun believes that today's agriculture has entered the high-tech field. It must be different from their parents, only mechanization can liberate farmers from the land."

　　In order to change the traditional farming model of "facing the loess and facing the sky", the Shang brothers actively learned advanced experience and tried to introduce various farming equipment such as tractors, harvesters, and seeders.

　　"We are building a 'future farm' with a pilot area of ​​about 600 mu, which will be gradually expanded in the future. In the 'future farm', the coverage rate of unmanned operations such as unmanned farming, unmanned irrigation, and drone sowing and spraying can reach 100%." ​​Shang Nianjun said.

　　After realizing the significance of strengthening agriculture with technology and strengthening agriculture with machinery to agricultural development, the Shang brothers also came up with the idea of ​​providing full-scale managed services such as arable land, sowing, fertilization, grain and oil processing, packaging and transportation for the surrounding large grain growers.

　　"In 2021, we will set up a flying defense plant protection base, and set up two modules of agricultural socialization service and plant protection drone talent training, which will not only realize a series of socialization services for agricultural production, but also cultivate and output excellent plant protection drones for the society. Professionals." Shang Xiaojun said.

　　Up to now, Daofeng Agriculture's socialized service field area has accumulated more than 600,000 mu, the daily operating area has reached more than 15,000 mu, the daily drying grain service volume is 300 tons, and the polished rice production line processes 24 tons per day.

　　"Technology has changed agricultural production and given agriculture the wings to take off. As a 'post-90s' 'new farmer', we also want to use more professional knowledge and technology to drive more people to realize large-scale and mechanized farming." With this in mind, the Shang brothers continue to recruit surrounding farmers and help them become new types of professional farmers.

　　Walking into the Daofeng Agricultural Hall, the data on the electronic screen on the wall jumped in real time.

This is a smart agricultural management digital platform independently developed by the company, which can monitor and record the operation dynamics of drones and the growth of crops in real time.

　　"The platform can not only realize intelligent management such as farmland visual monitoring, remote sensing inspection, and farmland precision weather. Farmers can also see the status of field trusteeship through the mobile app, including field inspection logs, chemical fertilizer dosage, etc., which is efficient and labor-saving. It is very convenient. .” Shang Xiaojun said.

　　From the initial 900 mu of transfer land to the current 3,000 mu of high-standard farmland, from the initial container house on the edge of the field to the current modern agricultural automation equipment... The Shang brothers also issued "common wealth food coupons" to create a common wealth Factories and other measures have driven and helped surrounding farmers to become rich.

　　"In the past, many people were unwilling to engage in agriculture, but our brothers' personal experience proves that rural revitalization is constantly deepening and solid, and agriculture has great prospects, especially modern agriculture. Continue to invest in farmland transformation and intelligent construction, and pursue your own dreams in the fields of hope.
