Rudong’s “unmanned farm” welcomes a bumper harvest

Who said that farming can only face the loess and back to the sky? With the help of “agriculture+technology”, farmers now do not have to personally go to the field and can easily achieve field management and harvest rice and wheat. These two days, in the “Unmanned Farm” in Juegang Street, Rudong County, an unmanned harvester with red and white colors was used to pull, cut, transport, thresh, unload and load grain at one go, which not only achieved high efficiency, but also reduced the loss reduction rate. We have truly achieved high-quality agricultural development and assisted in rural revitalization.

Unmanned harvesting technology is the installation of unmanned operating equipment on the basis of existing agricultural machinery to complete communication, positioning, and operation of agricultural machinery operations. By conducting route planning on a computer or mobile app, remote unmanned operations can be achieved with mobile network coverage.

Unmanned harvesting is just one part of Rudong’s “unmanned farm” smart agriculture. In addition to the harvester, the tractor, Grader, overturning plough, Rice transplanter, plant protection machine and other facilities in the farm have all been intelligentized, and the intelligent agricultural machinery system and crop growth supervision system have been built, which truly realizes the unmanned whole process of “tillage, planting, management and harvesting”, greatly improving the level of agricultural intelligence and operating efficiency.

It is understood that the “unmanned farm” in Rudong Juegang Street is a provincial rural reform pilot zone project undertaken by the county. At present, the core area of the project covers an area of 200 acres, and the demonstration area covers 1000 acres. Through the implementation of the project, not only has it driven the level of agricultural modernization, but also explored a new model for serving agriculture in the local area.
