On the afternoon of August 25th, a rice field monitoring device on a family farm in Dayi County sounded an alarm. The staff of the digital agriculture platform in Dayi County immediately received the alarm. After analyzing the data, it was found that the acidity of the farmland soil exceeded the standard, so they immediately contacted the farmers for remediation. Nowadays, monitoring devices like this have spread across farmland of all sizes in Dayi County. With the innovative construction of the “auspicious rain” digital agricultural service platform in Dayi County, new farmers use “new agricultural tools” to plug digital wings into the entire agricultural production process and cultivate high-yield “smart fields” of one acre.
In recent years, Dayi County has utilized digital technology to empower the high-quality development of modern agriculture. In 2022, the digital agriculture platform served the entire county’s arable land area of 210000 acres, driving the county’s agricultural industry to save costs and increase efficiency by more than 15%. The per capita disposable income of rural residents increased by 9.8% year-on-year.
After the summer heat, the weather had a slight coolness. Wan Fuxu looked at the drooping rice ears in the field and thought about the harvest day in his heart. Facing the upcoming busy farming season, Wan Fuxu was not at all flustered. Over 10 years of farming experience made him familiar with all solar terms, and modern technology in digital agriculture is his “safety sign” to not panic.
More than 10 years ago, Wan Fuxu was just an ordinary farmer. He adapted to the precise cultivation of the weather and the farming method of watching the weather eat, which made him very difficult. After learning about digital agricultural technology, Wan Fuxu applied a digital intelligent system to agricultural production. The monitoring of the fields was updated in real-time, and drones were used to spray pesticides… A few people could complete the management of thousands of acres of rice fields, making the farm a high-yield and abundant harvest. Digital technology has brought significant results, and Wanfuxu continues to expand its agricultural territory, becoming a well-known planter and agricultural professional manager.
Entering the Digital Agriculture Center of Dayi County, the “Jishiyu” digital agriculture comprehensive service platform located in the data center showcases the real-time status of farmland monitoring. The relevant person in charge introduced that this platform integrates five major service functions: farm, agricultural materials, operation, finance, and sales. It uses Beidou satellite technology to achieve precise positioning of land parcels and intelligent detection of “non agricultural” and “non grain” cultivated land. Nowadays, the service of “auspicious rain” has covered various regions in Sichuan, as well as Xinjiang and other places.
Taking agricultural big data services as an example, the system can improve the yield of grain and oil products per mu through precise irrigation, fertilization, and pest control through land parcel recognition. At present, the application of “Shuzhi Grain and Oil” covers 445 family farms (planters), 136000 farmers, and 62 agricultural service providers in Dayi County. The comprehensive production mechanization level has reached 98.6%, and more than 50 high-quality grain varieties have been applied and promoted. The annual cost saving and efficiency increase in the industrial park area exceeds 10 million yuan.
