Lishu County is located in the "Golden Corn Belt" of the Songliao Plain and is a major grain-producing county in China. Han Chunming is driving a farm farm in the field.
"After a while, my drone will come in handy. ”
Han Chunming, 35 years old this year, has been driving agricultural machinery in the cooperative and is an authentic "old farmer" and "old driver". Now, he's got a new skill.
In 2023, Han Chunming began to learn drone piloting technology, and obtained a qualification certificate to become a plant protection drone pilot.
"I used to see others holding the remote control, clicking on the screen, and dialing the joystick, and the drone next to it took off into the air, which felt amazing. ”
The Phoenix Mountain Agricultural Machinery Cooperative, where Han Chunming works, has 24 sets of multi-functional monitoring stations, 2 unmanned aerial vehicles, and 15 sets of automatic agricultural machinery driving equipment, which realize mechanical sowing and unmanned aerial vehicle spraying pesticides.
"With the drone, my waist is no longer sore, my legs are not painful, and I don't have to work hard to take medicine on 15 acres of land an hour. ”
New technologies and new agricultural tools made Han Chunming personally feel the sweetness of modern agriculture.

"In the past, we mainly relied on farmers to carry sprayers on their backs, and at the end of the day, we were so tired that we couldn't straighten our waists, and we couldn't hit many acres of land, but now we can quickly control pests and diseases. Han Chunming told reporters that in the past, relying on manual labor, a person could inject medicine on average one acre of land per hour. After using plant protection drones, whether it is spraying pesticides or fertilizing, it not only saves labor costs, but also has high efficiency, "the key is to be more accurate than manual." ”
In 2019, drone piloting was included in the National Occupational Classification Dictionary as a new profession. In this black land, more new farmers are "flying".
Is it difficult to go from "old farmer" to "new farmer"?
It's hard! But it's not hard.
Han Chunming said frankly: "I don't usually read books to study, and suddenly I have to learn all kinds of theoretical knowledge and the rules and regulations of drones, so I can only do 'stupid kung fu': I can study when I have time, practice when I have time, and explore and study a little bit." ”

Mastered the new technology, Han Chunming's income also increased.
In the past, when I drove agricultural machinery in the cooperative, it was usually busy during the planting and harvesting seasons. Now, after the crops in the field grow, plant protection drones need to apply fertilizer and spray pesticides, and Han Chunming has been busy in the two months when he was relatively free.
"Sometimes I can even receive a reward from my boss. ”
Becoming a "new farmer" who farms with "wisdom" is Han Chunming's next goal. "Now I'm still a novice, and I need to learn more from the 'old drivers' and master more technical skills. Han Chunming said.
At present, the fertile black soil in Northeast China has entered the stage of spring ploughing. From automated agricultural machinery sowing to drone spraying of biological pesticides, new technology, new agricultural tools, and new farmers are bidding farewell to this black land "facing the black soil" and "watching the sky to eat".
