UAV “on duty” to improve production efficiency

On March 21, 2023, over the farmland of Chengyu Village, Taishan Town, Huojia County, Xinxiang City, Henan Province, a drone, under the control of professional personnel, flexibly flew low and shuttled back and forth along the planned route. With the buzzing sound of rotor rotation, herbicides were sprayed from the fuselage nozzle and evenly sprinkled into the fertile field.

“This drone is really a good thing. Previously, it was only used by others. This year, the government led the development of high standard farmland construction. After land renovation and continuous planning for our farmland, we also used this high-tech technology. You see, this medicine is more convenient, fast and uniform, saves time and effort, and saves money.” Zhang Naibo, a villager in Chengyu Village, said happily.

At present, in order to lay the foundation for a good harvest of grain, at the construction site of high standard farmland in Taishan Town, muck trucks and excavators are working together, and orderly tractor roads are taking shape.

Since 2023, based on the actual situation of the village, Taishan Town has given full play to the leading role of party building, taking the construction of a 42000 mu high standard farmland demonstration area as a starting point, exploring the advantages of land resources, centralizing and integrating high-quality farmland, seizing the “golden period” of construction, and striving to create high standard farmland with centralized and contiguous areas, supporting facilities, good ecology, and strong disaster resistance capabilities, to help increase agricultural efficiency and farmers’ income, Comprehensively promote the revitalization of rural industries enabled by science and technology, and achieve the sustainable development of the intelligent agricultural industry.

At the same time, in order to achieve the goal of “connecting farmland and unblocking agricultural machinery”, the entire region of Taishan Town successfully solved the problems of farmland fragmentation and land compensation by holding a “3533” party and mass representatives’ meeting, taking “seeking the interests of farmers” as the starting point, negotiating with the masses on an equal footing, and adopting the methods of “replacement” and “circulation”.

“With the newly built canals and tractor roads, the entire process of mechanized operation can be achieved from planting to harvesting in the farmland. High-tech equipment such as drones will only be used by many people in the future.” Zhang Yanbin, a villager in Chengyu Village, looked at the green wheat seedlings and said.

In the next step, Taishan Town will continue to introduce and promote new varieties, new technologies, and new models of grain cultivation, fully exerting the superimposed effect of science and technology in promoting rural revitalization, and creating a new situation of modern agriculture featuring “high grain yield, economic efficiency, production safety, and mass satisfaction” by integrating the three aspects of “modern agriculture, digital agriculture, and intelligent agriculture.”.
