Chinanews.com, March 4th. According to the website of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Areas is based on the prevention and control of rural epidemics and agricultural production. The total number of agricultural machinery produced is expected to exceed 20 million sets.

Among them, Hubei Province has organized 20,000 high-performance plant protection machines to orderly shift the peaks to the field, and put in winter weeds and winter wheat chemical weeding operations. It will dispatch 300,000 land preparation machines and 24,000 rice transplanters to participate in spring planting by the end of March. Effectively guarantee the peak demand for early rice production machinery in April this year.

During the epidemic, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs mainly adopted three agricultural mechanization development measures to guarantee spring farming production.

The first is to vigorously promote online services. Aiming at the problems of on-site training of robots and the difficulty of docking orders for agricultural machinery in some places, the “Spring Farming Machinery Online Service Station” was opened to support and guide localities to carry out “not-to-see” services, and to guide the training of 2 million person-times of robots and overhaul of machinery 6.2 million times.

At the same time, it provides information platforms such as "agricultural machinery through train" for various types of agricultural machinery social service providers to meet their online docking operation service requirements, and promotes less-employed and efficient machinery such as autonomous tractors, high-speed rice transplanters, and plant protection drones. Carry out sub-cultivation and planting operations for farmers.

The second is to speed up the implementation of agricultural machinery purchase subsidies. At present, the subsidy funds of 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities and the Xinjiang Corps have all reached the counties. All of them have opened a subsidy management system and launched a mobile application for subsidy application. It is appropriate to verify the equipment by phone booking, remote video, etc. to reduce the risk of epidemic spread. To ensure that farmers can submit applications at any time.

Up to now, the country has implemented a central subsidy of 140 million yuan to support 26,000 farmers in purchasing nearly 40,000 machines (sets), and the overall progress is faster than the previous year. At the same time, it actively coordinated and promoted the resumption of production and production of agricultural machinery and component companies, guided agricultural machinery dealers to open telephone appointments, and provided point-to-point distribution services.

The third is to ensure the smooth transportation of agricultural machinery. In response to problems such as the difficulty in bringing agricultural machinery to the field and the road, the Ministry of Transport jointly issued an emergency notice to explicitly include the transfer of agricultural machinery into the scope of the green channel policy for emergency transportation. "Vehicle pass", that is, no parking, no inspection, no toll, priority priority.
