In Zhang Liangbao's words, in the past, he used to farm to see the sky, but now he can plant the land while sitting at home.While skillfully operating on the control board equipped with Beidou navigation, while sitting on the ridge or cab brushing mobile phones and reading books, in this way, the entire planting season, 30-year-old Zhang Liangbao "not a drop of sweat", can use drones to complete a total of 20,000 acres of work area.
Zhang Liangbao, born in 1993, is a grower of Hongwei Farm of Beidahuang Group, hereinafter referred to as "Hongwei Farm"), and is a typical new farmer of "Beidahuang".
At present, the black soil of Heilongjiang has been frozen for three feet, but Zhang Liangbao of "Wodong" is not idle, he is studying the transformation of agricultural machinery automation equipment at home, and has also started a small experiment.
Zhang Liangbao told reporters that when he first observed the demonstration of unmanned agricultural machinery at Hongwei Farm in 2019, the first thought that flashed in his mind was: "Is such advanced equipment easy to operate?"What if something goes wrong?But now, in his opinion, operating a drone is easier than playing with a mobile phone.
People have 'unlocked' intelligent agricultural machinery, and the intelligent brain of the equipment has replaced the human brain, and farming is no longer a high-intensity, heavy physical work. In Zhang Liangbao's words, in the past, he used to farm to see the sky, but now he can plant the land while sitting at home.
Zhang Liangbao is working on a new type of drone.
Farming can't be "old-fashioned".
The concept of 'smart agriculture' has never been heard or seen by the growers of Beidahuang Group before. It's incredible to see that the rice transplanter can go forward without anyone driving it!During the spring sowing in 2019, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Vehicle Information Service Industry Application Alliance held a "cross-era" demonstration of unmanned agricultural machinery in Hongwei Farm, which shocked many cadres and employees of the farm. "The unmanned harvester over there is collecting rice in a hurry, and the rice grains that are sprayed out from the unloading port here are directly loaded into the trailer of the unmanned grain collection truck......At that time, among the clapping crowd, there was Zhang Liangbao. Subsequently, the Party Committee of Hongwei Farm made a decision: this technology must be learned, studied, and gradually promoted. In order to make large-scale intelligent agricultural machinery "run away", it is first necessary to standardize the transformation of lattice fields. Zhang Liangbao transformed more than 60 small rice planting ponds into 12 large ponds. "There are fewer ridges, the plots are leveled, it is easier for machinery to work, and the quality and efficiency are also significantly improved. Zhang Liangbao said that today's land yield is so high and the efficiency of new machinery is so good, mainly due to the transformation of standardized lattice fields. After the land transformation is completed, it needs to be equipped with scientific and technological equipment. Zhang Liangbao, who dares to think and dare to try, is full of curiosity about the application of science and technology in agriculture, but when it came time to pay for it, he still retreated. "At that time, the interest was not very strong, so I just watched the lively ......Zhang Liangbao said: "No one drives it, the machine goes by itself, and the rice planting is even and straight, which is really fresh and good." But for fear of failure, you say that the workers are hired, and you don't need to pay wages if you don't work, but if the machine breaks, the money will be wasted. In the blink of an eye, in the spring of 2020, in the face of a worker's daily cost of 500 yuan, Zhang Liangbao started the "abacus" of using unmanned agricultural machinery. In April of that year, Zhang Liangbao made a move and purchased two unmanned navigation equipment. "At that time, a set was 38,000 yuan, not a small amount of money!"My family didn't support it," my father wouldn't let me buy it, saying that I was a young man who didn't believe in evil. I said, it's a new era, and farming can't always be the same!However, the "slap in the face" also came quickly. Within a few days, the unmanned rice transplanter really "played a temper". "Due to the unfamiliar operation, sometimes I drift when I walk, or the signal is cut off......Zhang Liangbao said, "The machine is repaired for two or three days, and 1,500 yuan will be put in." My dad was anxious at the time and said that he could unload it!Zhang Liangbao retorted, "The money has been spent, and you must insist!"So, under Zhang Liangbao's stubbornness, the first year of the rice planting season ended, when the general account was calculated, the use of unmanned agricultural machinery saved three or four thousand yuan compared with previous years, and the second year saved 7,000 yuan ......"Saving money is one thing, the key is that the unmanned rice transplanter has high efficiency and high standards, as long as the path is planned in advance, click 'start', click 'end', and the two back and forth transplanting will end, which must be the general trend ...... the future”
Resistance becomes power
In September 2023, Zhang Liangbao, who had already finished harvesting rice, began to be busy preparing the land in autumn. He applied intelligent land preparation locomotive, compared with the previous mechanized operation can save two drivers on the day shift and night shift, and the daily operation time is 3 hours more than that of the manual driving locomotive, 200 acres of paddy field, which can save nearly 5,000 yuan in labor costs. Now, the old father who stopped Zhang Liangbao at the beginning, under the guidance of his son, has also been able to operate smart devices proficiently. When the farm is busy, both father and son can operate large agricultural machinery and implements in the black soil very leisurely. Li Yan, general manager of the agricultural development department of Hongwei Farm, told reporters: "Nowadays, unmanned agricultural machinery can not be said to be almost the same in Hongwei Farm"With the integration of Beidou, 5G, Internet of Things, big data and other technologies into the agricultural field, a storm of smart agriculture construction is setting off in the magical black land of the Great Northern Wilderness. Zhang Liangbao said that he was fortunate to be a witness and witness of this change. It is understood that in 2022, the operating area of the unmanned rice transplanter in Hongwei Farm will reach 300,000 mu, and a total of 639 rice transplanters will be equipped with the Beidou navigation auxiliary straight travel system, counting various subsidies, saving more than 200 yuan in labor costs for growers during the transplanting period. In Hongwei Farm, most growers choose domestic intelligent equipment systems, and with the proficiency of operation, the operation failure rate has been reduced to very low. Zhang Liangbao said: "At present, intelligent and unmanned operations have covered 14 links such as land preparation, seedling raising, transplanting, harvesting, grain receiving, and ridge building. "By changing the traditional agricultural production method from "crowd tactics" to single-machine operation, growers are no longer hard to find in the busy agricultural season, and rice production is also increasing year by year. The real changes make Zhang Liangbao plan to continue to increase investment in intelligent planting. In summary, Zhang Liangbao is the first batch of growers in Hongwei Farm to apply intelligent agricultural machinery. Starting from the application of unmanned rice transplanters, in the past 4 years, he has successively purchased intelligent mixers, intelligent harvesters, and intelligent land preparation vehicles, which are easy to use, save people and money. Zhang Liangbao said: "A smart phone can control the intelligent agricultural machinery to plant and harvest seedlings autonomously according to the preset pathLog in to the smart agriculture mobile app platform, and the information related to agricultural production will be clear at a glance. There are machines for work, and there is a smart platform for management, and now farming is getting easier and easier. This year, my family's rice yield per mu is more than 1,300 catties, and it is another bumper harvest year!(Li Yuan and Wang Hongxia also contributed to this article).
