Changting: The whole process of mechanized planting early rice planting has entered the transplanting period

With the warming of temperature, in the past few days, more than 1,000 acres of early rice planting in Changting County's 10,000 acres of high-quality rice production base have entered the transplanting period. In just 10 minutes, the rows of seedlings have been quickly and neatly transplanted to the farmland, and the seedling row spacing is uniform and the density is moderate. Fu Qiao, a large grain grower, told reporters that a rice transplanting machine can complete nearly 50 acres of rice transplanting per day on average, compared with the original, mechanization not only improves the efficiency of rice transplanting, but also lays a solid foundation for a bumper grain harvest throughout the year.

[Fu Qiao, a large grain grower in Hetian Town: This year's No. 1 central document proposes that the focus of increasing grain production should be placed on increasing grain yield in a large area. This year, our cooperative has transferred more than 300 acres of new large-scale land in the surrounding towns and villages for the cultivation of high-quality rice. This year, 1,100 acres of early rice were planted, an increase of more than 300 acres over last year, and the whole process of mechanized planting of rice improved the planting efficiency, and reasonable dense planting increased the yield of rice. 】

In the past, the river field had serious soil erosion, "the mountains are bright, the water is turbid, the fields are thin, and the people are poor", and it is known as the "Flame Mountain". After more than 30 years of comprehensive soil erosion control, the former "Flaming Mountain" is gradually becoming an "ecological granary".

[Fu Qiao, a large grain grower in Hetian Town: Thanks to our soil erosion control in Changting, now we have dense trees on the mountains and a lot of water in the rivers. 】

From sowing to field management to harvesting and drying, Changting Yuanfeng high-quality rice production base has walked out of a full process of mechanized farming, and now, they have 320 sets (sets) of various types of agricultural machinery such as seedling raising machines, seeders, rice transplanters, rotary cultivators, harvesters, dryers, etc., farmers have bid farewell to the tiredness of "bending over", which not only reduces the labor intensity of grain farmers and reduces production costs, but also greatly mobilizes the enthusiasm of large grain growers, so that rice planting can increase production and income, and farmers benefit. In recent years, Changting County has made every effort to promote the whole process of mechanized production of rice, vigorously promoted advanced and applicable agricultural machinery equipment and technology, and actively implemented the subsidy policy for the purchase of agricultural machinery, and farmers are enthusiastic about purchasing machinery, subsidizing the purchase of 3,761 units (sets) of agricultural machinery in 2023, benefiting 2,620 farmers, and the subsidy amount will reach 16.9114 million yuan.

[Zhong Sixing, the third-level chief clerk of the County Agriculture and Rural Bureau: At present, the comprehensive mechanization rate of major crops in Changting County has reached 79.05%, and the comprehensive mechanization rate of rice has reached 84.35%. 】
