As the operator lightly clicked on their phone and the engine roared, the unmanned harvester quickly harvested in the rice field according to a pre planned route. In an instant, one acre of rice field was harvested. On the 7th, at the “unmanned farm” base in Xionglou Village, Zhongyang Town, Sucheng District, Suqian City, Jiangsu Province, unmanned harvesters and tractors were showcasing their skills in the field. Suqian’s first rice “unmanned farm” officially welcomed a bumper harvest.
We have installed a navigation system on the unmanned harvester, which can achieve full unmanned driving. A series of operations such as harvesting and unloading do not require manual labor, and each machine can save nearly 400 yuan in labor costs per day. The wish of ‘people can harvest grain even if they don’t go to the field’ has gradually come true. “Zhu Youzhi, the chairman of Suqian Xinyu Agricultural Machinery Cooperative, was very happy as he watched the unmanned harvester shuttle back and forth in the field.
Since the beginning of this year, Sucheng District has actively promoted advanced and intelligent machinery, strived for provincial-level special funding plans, and provided subsidies for the purchase and installation of auxiliary drivers and fully autonomous navigation drivers, further enhancing the enthusiasm of agricultural machinery operators to purchase intelligent agricultural machinery equipment. As of now, 23 new agricultural machinery Beidou auxiliary navigation systems, 3 unmanned rice transplanters, 1 unmanned tractor, and 36 unmanned plant protection small planes have been purchased in the area. The total number of intelligent agricultural machinery equipment has reached 260 sets, and the operating area of intelligent machinery is nearly 200000 acres.
From plowing, sowing, fertilizing, irrigation to harvesting, various complex agricultural operations can be completed with just the operation of mobile phones and computer systems. The unmanned harvester can control the stubble height to 3 to 5 centimeters, and can operate one acre of land in 3 minutes, which is very efficient, “Zhu Youzhi said. The construction of “unmanned farms” not only saves labor costs, but also greatly improves operational efficiency, making agricultural production more precise and efficient.
Unmanned harvesters and tractors slowly move through rice fields and automatically turn around when encountering ridges. Compared to traditional agricultural machinery, the biggest advantage of unmanned agricultural machinery is the liberation of manpower and the reduction of labor costs.
Unmanned agricultural machinery can improve labor efficiency, reduce labor expenses, and reduce labor intensity, with obvious advantages. Unmanned agricultural machinery is an important direction for promoting agricultural mechanization. In the future, we will vigorously promote unmanned agricultural machinery in the city to improve the level of information and intelligence in agricultural mechanization. “said Zou Mingyi, Director of the Agricultural Machinery Industry Development Department of Suqian Agriculture and Rural Bureau.
