Standing by the ridge of a field, with a remote control similar to a game controller in his hand, drones whirring around, this is Li Guohua’s work scene during the spring plowing season.
Manipulating drones to spray pesticides, sow seeds, and fertilize crops, which used to take a few people a few days to complete, now Li Guohua can complete in less than a day. And his imagination of future agricultural production goes far beyond that, “hoping that future agriculture can be fully automated, sitting in front of a computer.
Nowadays, the way the new farmers plant has undergone tremendous changes. Compared to parents using agricultural tools such as soil plows and rice transplanters, Li Guohua’s tools are more technologically advanced, manipulating drones for spraying pesticides, fertilizing, sowing, and more.
Getting started with the new “toy”, he believed it was the curiosity and exploration desire of young people. He quickly learned to operate drone agricultural equipment and invested over 70000 yuan to purchase the first drone.
Drones can spray around 8 acres of land in 10 minutes, and 100 acres can be completed in just over 2 hours, “said Li Guohua
High tech agricultural equipment represented by drones has replaced laborious and inefficient manual farming, bringing new experiences about farmers and rural life to young people who are new to agriculture. After loading the drone with materials, just move your fingers, it’s similar to playing games
Drones are constantly being updated, and their functions are constantly refined around various aspects of agricultural “cultivation and harvesting”, covering various aspects from pesticide application, sowing, mowing to crop monitoring. Nowadays, Li Guohua has also purchased three drones, which can not only spray pesticides and fertilize, but also carry out drone aerial seeding.
Moreover, after proficiently using unmanned aerial vehicles to cultivate his own fields, Li Guohua also provided flight defense services for other farmers in the village at a price of 10 yuan per acre. As of this year, Li Guohua has provided flight defense services to surrounding farmers, totaling approximately 30000 to 40000 acres of land.
In addition to farmers like Li Guohua who work part-time as a flight prevention service provider, there are also “flying hands” who specialize in providing flight prevention services. It is understood that since 2013, Jifei Technology has been promoting agricultural drones to “go to the countryside” by forming a 1000 person scale drone defense team and organizing training, allowing agricultural drones to fly to the fields of ordinary people. As a result, many drone pilots have also emerged.
