In early summer, walking in the fields of Nanfang County, farmers can be seen busy everywhere, sowing seedlings, transplanting seedlings, and harvesting wheat...... Idyllic landscapes.
The country has no agriculture, and the people have no food. Since the beginning of this year, Nanfang County has closely followed the main line of high-quality agricultural development, resolutely adhered to the bottom line of food security, strengthened security, optimized technology, and extended services, laying a solid foundation for stabilizing grain supply and accelerating the modernization of the agricultural industry.
Technology empowers and sows seeds of hope
The Tian family has few idle months, and people are busy in May. At present, the southern county has completed the early rice seedling raising work, is seizing the agricultural time, guiding cooperatives, companies, large grain growers and other enterprises to use machinery and equipment to carry out seedling transplanting work, through "factory seedling raising + mechanized transplanting", effectively improve the quality of transplanting and labor efficiency, and make a good start for the rice harvest.
On May 9, in the seedling factory greenhouse of Sichuan Zhinong Technology Co., Ltd., Fuhu Town, Nanfang County, the seedlings grew gratifyingly, and the person in charge of the company, Li Yongzheng, organized workers to transport the seedlings to the field and load them onto the high-speed rice transplanter.
"The company relies on the intelligent seedling raising factory, so that the seedlings no longer 'rely on the sky to eat', and improve the efficiency and quality of seedlings." Li Yong introduced that compared with the traditional seedling raising method, mechanized seedling raising can not only cultivate "uniform, uniform and strong" seedlings, but also not affected by the weather, win time for early rice planting and ensure stable grain production.
It is understood that the company is the first agricultural base in southern county to adopt large-scale mechanized seedling raising, and will introduce an intelligent seedling raising production line in 2023, and has a sowing line, seed treatment area, seedling tray stacking area, germination room, seedling raising production line and other functional areas to meet the needs of seedlings for light, heat, water, gas, fertilizer and other elements, and realize the standardized production of the whole process of soaking, germination and breeding.
In the rice field, the villagers drove the rice throwing machine, drove the full horsepower and moved forward steadily, and the trays of seedlings were put into the conveyor belt of the rice throwing machine and thrown in the field in an orderly manner.
"In the past, it was all manual transplanting, and one person completed about 1 mu in one day. Now the mechanical transplanting method is adopted, and one machine can transplant about 40 acres of seedlings in one day. Li Yong introduced that mechanized transplanting allows farmers to say goodbye to the "bending over and arching" type of labor, which can not only save labor, improve efficiency, but also reduce production costs, and rice yields have increased year after year.
"This year, the county plans to plant 308,000 acres of rice, and the transplanting work is expected to be completed by the end of this month. Among them, 100,000 acres of large-scale planting households have been mechanized and transplanted. He Hui, director of the county's agriculture and rural affairs bureau, said that in recent years, the southern county has closely focused on the goal of increasing agricultural efficiency and farmers' income, giving full play to its technical advantages and resource advantages, vigorously promoting centralized seedling raising, continuously improving the level of professional and socialized rice seedling raising, and effectively improving the popularization rate of rice mechanized seedling raising, ensuring a steady increase in rice yield, and helping the high-quality development of modern agriculture.
Technical services water the hope of a bumper harvest
In order to further ensure food security, Nanfang County seized the agricultural time and took the initiative to send a number of agricultural technology experts to carry out technical guidance in the rice transplanting sites of various towns and towns, open agricultural technology classes to the field, and "check the pulse" for problems, so as to provide farmers with face-to-face, hand-in-hand, and zero-distance agricultural technology guidance services, so that the majority of farmers can farm from "smart" farming, and ensure a good and smooth start of grain production throughout the year.
"This trap is specially designed to lure pests, and the effect is up to three months." Recently, in Laojiagou Village, Shilong Town, Nanfang County, Ouyang Yuyuan, an associate researcher from the Crop Research Institute of the Sichuan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, carefully checked the growth of seedlings and monitored the situation of pests and diseases, while communicating with growers, providing on-site technical guidance on issues such as the use of seed drugs, the selection of seedbed substrate soil and the key points of transplanting seedlings with medicine, and patiently answered the technical problems encountered by grain farmers in the production process.
The experts spoke in detail, and the peasants understood it. "The experts went down to the field to explain the selection of concentrated seedling nutrient soil, water and fertilizer application skills, as well as rice pest control and other technologies, and we learned a lot of new scientific farming skills, and we are full of confidence in this year's grain production." Xie Song, a rice farmer, said that with the on-site guidance of experts, he is confident that he can increase rice yields.
"Through face-to-face guidance and point-to-point service for farmers, we can solve the technical problems of rice planting and ensure the smooth completion of the county's grain sowing area and yield plan." He Hui introduced that in recent years, the southern county has invited provincial experts many times, held a symposium of large owners to discuss the essentials of rice planting technology, held special training meetings to improve the skill level, and injected strong scientific and technological strength into the county's rice planting.
Since the beginning of this year, the county has issued more than 20,000 copies of technical information, systematically explaining key technologies such as machine cultivation and machine sowing, ditch management, seedling transplanting, field management, and pest control; More than 100 technicians were dispatched to go deep into the field to guide growers in sowing seedlings; Through on-site demonstrations, production demonstrations, on-site guidance and other means, we will promote light and simple technology and mechanized production technology to farmers, improve the level of grain production, and ensure agricultural efficiency and farmers' income.
Volunteering ensures that the pellets are returned to the warehouse
Recently, more than 330,000 acres of rape and more than 400,000 acres of wheat in southern counties have entered the maturity period one after another, ushering in a bumper harvest season. Nanfang County did not miss the agricultural time, seized the season, deployed in advance, gave full play to the vanguard and exemplary role of party members, and actively mobilized party members and cadres to go deep into the fields to carry out volunteer service activities of "supporting farmers to rush to harvest", and guarding the "grain bags" and "oil bottles" of the masses with practical actions.
On May 10, the Organization Department of the Southern County Party Committee organized 21 party members and volunteers to come to the wheat field of He Guangqing's elderly man in Group 6 of Ma'anshan Village, Dingshui Town, the county, to help him harvest wheat.
"Thank you, otherwise all the wheat will rot to the ground." The old man He Guangqing took the hands of the party members and volunteers and thanked them again and again. It has been learned that during the visit, the village-based work team of the Organization Department of the Southern County Party Committee learned that He Guangqing and his wife were old and frail, their legs and feet were inconvenient, and their children were not around, and that if the mature wheat was not harvested in time, they would suffer heavy losses. The Organization Department of the Southern County Party Committee immediately organized party members and cadres to go to the village to help him harvest wheat. After nearly half a day of labor, all the grains of 1.2 acres of wheat were returned to the warehouse.
According to statistics, in 2023 alone, the Organization Department of the Southern County Party Committee will organize 7 relevant volunteer activities and mobilize 112 party members and cadres to help the masses harvest wheat, rape, rice, etc., and at the same time go deep into the fields to publicize policy knowledge such as straw burning, forest fire prevention, and traffic safety to the masses.
On May 13, at the wheat planting base in Erlongchang Village, Dingshui Town, taking advantage of the fine weather, the village's village-based work team and village cadres formed a harvesting team to help some farmers who lacked labor to harvest wheat and rapeseed.
As soon as they arrived at the wheat field, everyone rolled up their sleeves and worked, harvested, stacked, and loaded trucks to form a field work line.
"Thank you to the village cadres and village cadres for helping me harvest wheat, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do it alone." Villager Gao Huailang was moved and thanked him repeatedly.
"Most of the villagers in the village are working outside, and in order to ensure that the farming time is not missed, the party members and cadres of Erlongchang Village took the initiative to go deep into the fields to help the needy households harvest grain crops." Gao Linyang, the first secretary of the village, said.
In recent years, Nanfang County has given full play to the role of grassroots party organizations as a fighting fortress and the vanguard and exemplary role of Communist Party members, effectively solved the difficult problems encountered by the masses in production and life, and promoted the practical and in-depth volunteer service activities with a realistic and pragmatic work style.
