In August, the lush grass and fruitful fruits of Mount Lvliang. On the early morning of the 17th, the Dongpanliang Village Sports Center in Daxiaobao Town, Xiaoyi City was already bustling. Agricultural mechanics from 13 counties (cities, districts) in the city are rubbing their hands and preparing to showcase their skills on this arena. On both sides of the venue, large agricultural machines are arranged in a majestic and orderly manner, and staff are conducting final inspections and debugging to prepare for the upcoming competition.
I declare that the second Agricultural Machinery Operator and Unmanned Plant Protection Machine Training Skills Competition has officially begun. With the powerful voice of Zhang Benyuan, Deputy Director of the Provincial Agricultural Machinery Center, the competition has officially begun, and the contestants have started drawing lots and practicing on-site to ensure that the afternoon competition is safe and sound.
It is understood that this competition is not only an important component of the 4th Vocational Skills Competition in Lvliang City, but also a selection of outstanding contestants for the provincial agricultural machinery operator competition held in our city. Among them, the tractor competition project is divided into two projects: the coupling of tractors and rotary tillers, the transfer of storage, and fixed point parking. The tractor simulates field trenching operations, and each participant is required to complete the operation according to the required route within five minutes. The plant protection drone special competition is divided into two stages: liquid formulation and actual operation, with each group equipped with two pilots. The correct process of pesticide formulation, the rationality of plant protection plans, and the stability of operation are used as evaluation criteria.
At 3 pm, the competition officially began. The participating contestants have showcased their “master’s skills”, learning from each other and showcasing their talents in the competition. The contestant Wang Yongfu had a calm demeanor and was very skilled in operating the machine. He could flexibly reverse, transfer, hook, and release the rotary tiller in a narrow space divided by solid lines, completing the required actions perfectly and quickly. The other contestants present cheered repeatedly.
The contestants in the plant protection drone competition match in pairs, with a serious expression. They carefully control the remote control equipment, controlling the drone’s takeoff and landing, marking lines, and drawing circles. Everyone has a novel and learning mindset, replacing training with competition, learning from each other’s strengths and weaknesses. The exquisite skills and diligent pace of every agricultural mechanic will provide strong momentum for the development of agriculture and rural areas in our city.
We have selected 100 mechanics from 28 cooperatives in the city to hold this skills competition, with the aim of promoting learning, training, and improving skills through competitions. At the same time, we will select outstanding players to participate in provincial and national competitions. We hope that all players can demonstrate their skills and fashion, and strive to become the ‘top technical experts’ and’ skilled experts’ of Lvliang Agriculture. We also hope that all counties (cities, districts) can participate in these competitions Summarize experience, cultivate more agricultural machinery operators, maintenance experts, and management experts, promote the emergence of more large planting and breeding households, cultivate more high-quality new professional farmers, and make greater contributions to the modernization of agriculture and rural areas in Lvliang Chen Linqiang, Director of the Municipal Agriculture Office and Director of the Municipal Agriculture and Rural Bureau, said.
Rural revitalization requires agricultural machinery to take the lead. In recent years, the Municipal Party Committee and Government have firmly shouldered the political responsibility of food security and continuously increased subsidies for agricultural machinery. The province has taken the lead in including 14 types of agricultural machinery not included in the central subsidy into the scope of financial subsidies, and the material foundation and equipment level of agricultural machinery operation have been significantly improved. The city has 8195 large and medium-sized agricultural tractors, 8340 small agricultural tractors, 1700 grain combine harvesters, and 19026 tractor supporting agricultural tools. It is equipped with 1057 sets of mobile plant protection machinery, with over 13800 certified operators. The comprehensive mechanization rate of major grain crops has reached 64.8%. At the same time, more than 1.7 million acres of high standard farmland suitable for modern agricultural machinery operations have been built, more than 200000 acres of abandoned land have been transformed into mechanized land, and 1.6 million acres of agricultural production trust have been promoted. The cornerstone of agricultural strength in the city is more stable.
The wind is good, the sails are hanging, and striving is just the right time. This competition not only fully showcases the demeanor of grassroots party members, cadres, and working people in our city, creating a strong atmosphere for promoting comprehensive rural revitalization and ensuring food security, but also further promotes the modernization process of our city’s agricultural industry through the gradual transformation from manual to mechanized methods, making the pace of rural revitalization in our city more firm and powerful.
