On February 22, in Xianlong Town, Yongchuan District, patches of high-standard farmland were neatly arranged, and field roads and hardened ditches were criss-crossed.
In a rice planting base, the roar of "click" sounded from time to time, and several operators drove the rotary tiller back and forth to level the field, a busy scene.
The person in charge of the base is named Guan Chun, and he is a big planter in Xianlong Town. Last year, he planted more than 600 acres of rice in Xianlong Town, with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu and an income of 900,000 yuan. This year, Guan Chun has expanded the planting scale by 200 acres.
With high-standard farmland, growing grain is no longer manual work, and agricultural machinery is saving money and effort when going to the field, and the efficiency is high. Guan Chun introduced the reason for the expansion to reporters.
Xianlong Town is a traditional agricultural town in Yongchuan District, and has won the title of "National Agricultural Industry Strong Town", but in the past, the local agriculture was "large but not refined", and "palm fields" and "chicken nests" restricted the intensive and large-scale development of agriculture.
The land is either uneven, or different in size, or scattered and fragmented, with a large slope, and large agricultural machinery cannot get off the field at all, so the efficiency has not been improved. The relevant person in charge of Xianlong Town introduced.
In recent years, Xianlong Town has built and transformed more than 50,000 acres of high-standard farmland through the implementation of high-standard farmland construction projects, according to the requirements of "large to small, slope to slow, bend to straight", etc., and agricultural machinery can be driven into the field to operate, which has greatly improved production efficiency. Guan Chun and other large planters have also expanded the scale of rice planting year by year.
How efficient is it? The operator has the best say. "This is the busiest time, with more than 20 acres of land being cultivated a day. On the driver's seat, the operator Tan Liquan skillfully operated the machine in the field, he stopped and pointed to a few flat fields to introduce to reporters, "More than 10 acres of land have been ploughed in the morning." ”
Not only is the efficiency improved, but the cost is also reduced a lot. Another operator, Liang Jinlong, took over the conversation and drove agricultural machinery to plough an acre of land, which only cost about 80 yuan, while if the land was manually cultivated with cattle, it would be at least 200 yuan per acre.
At present, most of the fields in the Guanchun base have been ploughed, and it is expected that seedling raising will start early next month.
According to the relevant person in charge of Xianlong Town, last year, Xianlong Town won the high-standard farmland quality and efficiency improvement project 1540,000 acres, covering 4 villages of Dashiba Village, Julong Village, Shibaosi Village and Niumen Village, the project is currently being implemented and is expected to be completed within this year. At that time, the mechanization rate of the demonstration area will reach 100%, the effective cultivated area will increase by 10%, and the cultivated land capacity will be greatly improved, laying a solid foundation for the mechanization, scale and intelligence of agricultural production.
