Mechanization of the whole process of farming is the hope of countless farmers, and now such expectations are becoming a reality in the West Coast New Area. Recently, 10 sets of high-horsepower wheat no-tillage seeders were lined up and rumbled in the wheat planting base of Qingdao Qin ploughing agricultural machinery professional cooperative, highlighting the charm of agricultural mechanization in the new area.

"This autumn planting, my family is all mechanized, a total of 2,000 acres were planted, worry-free and labor-saving, and finally these 400 acres were planted today." A few days ago, Jiang Yongzhan, president of the Qingdao Qin farming machinery professional cooperative, happily chatted with the agricultural technicians of the District Agricultural and Rural Bureau. Since this spring, the Qingdao Qin tillage agricultural machinery professional cooperative has transferred nearly 3,000 mu of land for planting wheat and corn. From late September to early October, continuous rains caused some farmland to accumulate water and prevent the corn from being harvested. Jiang Yongzhan looked in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. He immediately mobilized 2 excavators, excavated 3,000 meters of drainage ditches, and raised funds for a crawler combine harvester, while converting a wheel harvester into a crawler. In just 5 days, all 400 acres of mature autumn corn soaked in the paddy field were harvested.
"For large growers, they can't grow so much land without agricultural machinery. Agricultural machinery not only improves labor efficiency, but also enables precise quantification and precise control. In recent years, the wheat and corn production in the new area has basically realized the whole process of mechanization, laying the foundation for the mechanization of the agricultural industry. The relevant person in charge of the District Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau said.
