Mechanized harvesting of soybean and corn to achieve “dual income increase”

With the simultaneous operation of two multi-functional soybean and corn combine harvesters, rows of soybean and corn were harvested, threshed, and bagged in an instant. Holding the granules back to the warehouse and the moist and fragrant soybean and corn, Yang Jianzhang, a grain grower in Huamen Town, Shuangfeng County, Hunan Province, applauded and praised, “Mechanical harvesting saves time, effort, and worry.

On September 23rd, major grain farmers, agricultural machinery farmers, and cooperative leaders from all over the county gathered at the Zhongda Agricultural Machinery Professional Cooperative Soybean and Corn Strip Compound Planting Base in Huamen Town to participate in the “2023 Demonstration and Observation Meeting on Mechanized Production of Soybean and Corn Strip Compound Planting in Shuangfeng County” jointly organized by the Agricultural and Rural Bureau, County Finance Bureau, and County Agricultural Machinery Affairs Center, to share the achievements of mechanical harvesting, Enjoying the joy of double harvests of corn and soybeans and double harvests of agricultural machinery, the fields are filled with laughter and laughter.

In recent years, Shuangfeng County has adhered to the principle of “utilization of arable land resources, suitable for both, suitable for rice for rice, and suitable for grain for grain”. With the goal of not competing with rice for area, it has planned to plant soybean and corn in a strip shaped composite planting system, fully tapping into hillside hilly land, reclaimed wasteland, orchard forest land, water deficient dry land, and expanding planting potential, effectively increasing the planting area of dry grain such as soybean and corn. This year, Shuangfeng County has piloted with cooperatives and major grain growers in villages such as Chunshan in Huamen Town and Jiayuan in Yintang Township, driving 23000 mu of soybean and corn belt compound planting area throughout the county.

It is understood that soybean and corn strip compound planting is a new and efficient agricultural planting mode. Soybean and corn are planted in the same hilly field, with 3 rows of soybeans and 2 rows of corn. This not only saves water and fertilizer resources, but also improves land use efficiency, optimizes ecological environment, and improves production efficiency. The cost saving and income increase per mu can reach over 3000 yuan, becoming a channel for farmers to increase income and efficiency.The Agriculture and Rural Bureau and Agricultural Machinery Affairs Center of Shuangfeng County have organized leading agricultural machinery enterprises such as Hunan Nongyou Machinery Group Co., Ltd. to develop and produce a multifunctional soybean and corn combine harvester, which fills the gap in mechanical harvesting of soybean and corn in hilly areas. It is compact and high-quality, with good performance, low energy consumption, damage and impurity rates. The total loss rate index is superior to national standards, and can be used multiple times with one machine, achieving the goals of soybean, corn, rice, rapeseed The combined harvesting of wheat has the characteristics of high utilization rate of machinery and can harvest 25 acres of farmland in a day, making it a good helper for large farmers and cooperatives.

On the same day, at the demonstration site of agricultural machinery in Chunshan Village, Huamen Town and the soybean and corn belt composite planting base in Jiayuan Village, Yintang Township, relevant leaders from agricultural, rural, and financial departments at the provincial, municipal, and county levels observed and measured production on site. We highly recognize the promotion of soybean and corn belt compound planting in Shuangfeng, and highly evaluate the multifunctional combine harvesters manufactured by Shuangfeng’s leading enterprises for operations in hilly and mountainous areas.
