Weaving Gold: Mechanized Harvesting Helps Agricultural Modernization Development

In mid to late May, it is the season for rapeseed harvesting. In order to improve the level of modern agricultural production, enhance grain and oil production capacity, promote agricultural efficiency and increase farmers’ income, Zhijin County vigorously promotes mechanized harvesting, ensures that all rape grains are returned to the warehouse, and promotes agricultural cost saving and efficiency increasing, and farmers’ income saving.

In recent days, more than 1300 mu of rape planted in succession in the dam area of Zhongshan Village, Pojiao Village and Shangshui Village, Shangpingzhai Township, Zhijin County has entered the mature harvest period. The machines in the field are roaring, and the agricultural machinery operators are driving the harvesters back and forth in the field. Rows of mature rape are involved in the harvester. After the rapid threshing, the rape pods and rape stalks are automatically crushed into powder by machinery and sprayed on the field. The scene is busy.

Our company has transferred over 1300 acres of land to plant efficient rapeseed in Zhongshan Village and Pojiao Village of Shangpingzhai Township. It is now harvest season, and we have organized personnel to carry out mechanized harvesting to help return grain particles to the warehouse and make room for the next step of planting sorghum, “said Du Xianxin, an administrator of Jiudouxing Agricultural Technology Development Co., Ltd.

The dam areas of Zhongshan Village, Pojiao Village, and Shangshui Village in Shangpingzhai Township cover an area of 1590 acres. It is an industrial demonstration base in Shangpingzhai Township. In order to promote agricultural modernization and achieve crop rotation, sprinkler irrigation facilities are also built in the dam area. To protect the sprinkler irrigation facilities, the village cooperative organizes labor teams to manually harvest at designated locations where sprinkler irrigation facilities and machines cannot reach, providing a “clear path” for machine harvesting.

Zhang Xilun, senior agronomist of Mechanised agriculture management unit of Zhijin County Agricultural and Rural Bureau, told the author: As of now, 168500 acres of rapeseed have been planted in the county, and 85000 acres have been mechanically harvested. Villages and towns involved in rapeseed cultivation in the county are gradually harvesting. Next, we will aim to achieve agricultural modernization, vigorously promote mechanical agriculture, accelerate the matching of good opportunities, varieties, and methods, provide good machine harvesting services, continuously improve the application rate of agricultural machinery, and vigorously promote mechanized farming, sowing, and harvesting

In recent years, Zhijin has closely focused on the requirements of high-quality and efficient development of Mechanised agriculture, actively promoted modern agricultural planting and harvesting, improved agricultural production efficiency and agricultural science and technology, reduced the intensity of agricultural labor production, driven farmers to increase income and become rich, promoted high-quality agricultural development, and added new momentum to rural revitalization.
