Smart agriculture makes farmland smarter

To revitalize rural areas, industry is the foundation, and technology is the key. Since the beginning of this year, Yinchuan City in Ningxia has continuously promoted the demonstration and application of smart agriculture. In some agricultural machinery socialization service organizations, by promoting the unmanned driving technology of agricultural machinery and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) plant protection, surveying, and remote sensing technology of the BeiDou automatic navigation system, multiple intelligent systems such as agricultural machinery BeiDou automatic navigation, remote monitoring of agricultural machinery operations, big data management of smart agricultural machinery, precision fertilization and seeding control, modern agricultural microclimate monitoring, and grid management of farmland have been gradually established to assist in the rapid development of agricultural modernization.

On October 25th, a reporter from the unmanned smart farm in Majiatan Town, Lingwu City saw that as the staff pressed the automatic driving button, an unmanned tractor equipped with a high-precision positioning system roared on its own, performing automatic land preparation operations in the farmland.

At the same time, in another field, a large land leveling machine equipped with cameras, sensors, and other devices is undergoing land plowing operations. All data during the operation is uploaded in real-time to the background, and the staff communicate with the driver in real-time through data analysis, adjusting the mechanical effect of deep plowing in a timely manner.

At our smart farm, we provide technical services through a comprehensive intelligent agricultural demonstration management platform, including remote sensing monitoring of agricultural conditions, agricultural production management and scheduling, remote monitoring of agricultural machinery operations, automatic navigation of operations, and precise fertilization and sowing control, from the four stages of cultivation and management to the entrusted land. We ensure high-quality completion of cultivation tasks and increase farmers’ income and wealth, which can be said to have added “smart wings” to agriculture, The person in charge of the unmanned smart farm said

It is understood that in recent years, the agricultural machinery socialization service organizations in Yinchuan City, Ningxia have achieved rapid development, and various types of agricultural machinery socialization service entities have become the main force of agricultural production. As of the first half of 2023, there are 34971 tractors and 67399 supporting agricultural tools in Yinchuan City. 84 registered drones, accounting for 54% of the total in Ningxia; 42 agricultural aircraft, accounting for 30% of the total in Ningxia; More than 300 sets of Beidou navigation equipment, accounting for 30% of the total in Ningxia; The drone plant protection area is 1.2 million acres, accounting for 60% of the city’s arable land area.
