In a 1,000-acre sugarcane field in Quanfeng Village, Laituan Town, Jiangzhou District, Chongzuo City, Guangxi, driverless tractors are shuttled back and forth, performing rake and leveling operations.
"This is an unmanned tractor, which is more accurate than manual operation." Sugarcane farmer Dai Shanji told reporters that this tractor has an automatic navigation function and can automatically operate according to the set trajectory of the plot, making the operation more "straight" on large plots.
At the beginning of the new year, Chongzuo City promptly collects and publishes agricultural machinery operation service information such as sugarcane harvesting machine types, providing information services for various agricultural machinery service organizations and professional cooperatives to "fight hard" for spring plowing.
At present, the city has completed 620,000 acres of sugarcane mechanized cultivation, 500,000 acres of machine-type cultivation, and 360,000 acres of sugarcane deep plowing and deep loosening.
In Bobai County, a national-level rice seed production county, at the mechanized seed production base of Guangxi Haihui Agriculture Co., Ltd. in Longtan Town, workers are busy cultivating male and female seedlings, and a new round of seed production and cultivation is in full swing.
Li Minhui, the person in charge of the company, said: "We have fully mechanized the main links such as tillage, seedling cultivation, rice transplanting, unified control, harvesting, drying, and processing. This year we plan to produce 14,000 acres of seeds."
This spring, agricultural machinery departments at all levels in Guangxi plan early to seize the farming season, give full play to the technical and equipment advantages of agricultural machinery service organizations such as large agricultural machinery companies and agricultural machinery cooperatives, and carry out agency farming, seedling raising, planting, transplanting and other operational services to promote agricultural machinery services. Industrialization and improving the utilization rate of agricultural machinery.
At the same time, agricultural machinery technicians are organized to go to the grassroots level, to villages, and to farmer households to carry out demonstration and promotion of new agricultural machinery technologies.
Up to now, 750,000 agricultural machinery have been repaired and maintained in the region, and 34,800 operators and repairmen have been trained. It is expected that the number of agricultural machinery put into spring agricultural production will exceed 1.7 million.
