Drones enter the fields to help “fly” rural revitalization

In midsummer, the paddy fields in Yongqing Village, Changshou Township, Shangzhi City are green and full of vitality. On the morning of July 25th, accompanied by an agricultural drone taking off, pesticide spraying operations were carried out in an orderly manner according to the prescribed route. This drone, purchased with the assistance of the Municipal Audit Bureau, conveys a strong sense of truth and also carries the hopes of the villagers for a bountiful autumn harvest.

Yongqing Village is a designated assistance village of the Municipal Audit Bureau. After investigation, it was found that the rice planting area in Yongqing Village is the widest, with a total of 6800 acres. Most villagers hope to use drones for unified operations during pesticide spraying to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

After rice planting and seedling cultivation, pesticides need to be sprayed around mid July. Previously, villagers either hired drones for operations or manually sprayed pesticides, and the cost of spraying pesticides in the entire village was about 70000 yuan. “Yang Zhanguo, Secretary of the Party Branch of Yongqing Village, said that with agricultural drones in the village, not only can they provide free services to farmers in the village, but they can also provide paid services to surrounding villages, which not only saves planting costs for farmers in the village, It has also expanded the channels for village collective income increase.

Nowadays, with the assistance of the Municipal Audit Bureau, Yongqing Village not only has high-tech drone operation equipment, but also cultivates agricultural technology talents. After a series of training, Jiang Houren, who has experience in operating agricultural equipment, became the first generation of “flying hands” in the village, and he also truly felt the power of technology to promote agriculture. Agricultural drones are time-saving and labor-saving. According to the plan, today’s operation covers 400 acres of rice fields. “At the operation site, he told reporters that in addition to spraying pesticides, agricultural drones can also transport seedlings, fertilize, etc. They are widely used and help farmers increase production and income.

Focusing on the needs of the people and doing practical things for the people. The Municipal Audit Bureau will continue to carry out large-scale research activities, rely on village assistance work, increase visits to the masses, work together with village committees and villagers to find practical things, problems, and solutions, and take practical actions to enhance villagers’ happiness and satisfaction, making positive contributions to promoting rural revitalization and building the “Seven Metropolis”.
