Zhu Beibei, a post-90s plant protection UAV pilot in Huanggang, Hubei Province, has formed the largest and youngest plant protection operation team in Hubei. They used drones to spray pesticides on farmers, setting off a "wind of science and technology" in the farmland. In 2018, Jubeibei led the team to achieve a good result of 170,000 mu of operation for the whole year. More and more new farmers like Jubeibei are entering the fields to empower farmers with technology and redefine agricultural production.
Nonghuan Plant Protection now has a total of 22 people, 20 Jifei P20, in addition to having a company in Wuhan, Hubei Province, there is also a direct store in Xinjiang, Zhu Beibei is mainly responsible for the management team, as well as the engagement business. Mountain people have their own magic plans, and Jubeibei manages his own team with a mature management mechanism. He said: "What we are doing now is service, and to ensure the quality of service, we need a mature management mechanism." ”
Zhu Beibei mainly uses the background data monitoring system to manage the team that goes out to work. In the background data monitoring system, you can see the aircraft operating parameters: flight altitude, spray flow, flight speed, etc. He will strictly require team members to work according to standard parameters in order to achieve the best flight defense effect. "If any member doesn't operate according to the standard, I will immediately suspend his plane after I see it and stop dispatching him for a period of time," Jubeibei said. ”
In 2018, the footprint of Nonghuan Plant Protection throughout the country was not much, but the number of operating mu was not many, with a total of 170,000 mu. From the beginning of April to the end of May, they carried out one spray and three prevention operations on 20,000 mu of wheat in Henan and Anhui, returned to their hometown of Hubei from early June to the end of August to carry out weeding and insecticidal operations on rice, a total of 80,000 mu, and went to Xinjiang from September to mid-October to give 70,000 mu of cotton leaf removal agent.
Zhu Beibei said that originally they planned to work in Hainan after returning from Xinjiang, but some members of the team felt that xinjiang should take a break after the operation, and Zhu Beibei did not organize everyone to go to Hainan to work again.
Nonghuan Plant Protection adopts a team operation mode, 1 car, 2 people and 2 aircraft, 1 pilot controls 2 aircraft, and the other ground staff is responsible for charging and changing. The pesticides they use to work outside the home are provided by the farmers themselves. Zhu Beibei believes that if there is no suitable pesticide manufacturer cooperation, they will not consider the operation with drugs, because there are certain risks in the operation with drugs, and at the same time, the operation with drugs requires technical support, and he feels that Nonghuan Plant Protection does not have strong technical support.
Zhu Beibei said that the most difficult thing for their team to do in 2018 was market promotion, some farmers are more stubborn in their thinking and unwilling to accept new things, and some farmers will be hesitant about these young people, thinking that young people can't do farm work. Zhu Beibei and the team members did not give up, as long as they saw that the farmers had a little intention, they followed the publicity in the past and let the farmers see the effect of free operations.
With their perseverance, the farmers gradually knew that these young people were serious about agriculture and the matter of flying defense, and gradually recognized them and helped them to do propaganda. Zhu Beibei said: "The reputation of farmers has gradually been established, and our area of each operation has also changed from the initial 30 mu to 1,000 mu, 2,000 mu and even 4,000 mu today." ”
"I always say that when we worked in the summer of 2018, there was a force that drove us, but of course it was not the force that made money from the operation, it was the trust and respect of the farmers." The reason why Jubeibei has such feelings is because of a farmer. Zhu Beibei recalled that once the river on the road to the farmer's house was swollen, and the driving could not transport the operation equipment to the operation site, the villagers found a boat, let them and the machine boarded, and pulled the boat shirtless in the water. "I was sitting on the boat and I was very touched."
The prices of 2018 nonghuan plant protection orders are: wheat 8 yuan per mu, rice 10 yuan per mu, and cotton 8 yuan per mu. Zhu Beibei said: "We go to Xinjiang for a month, and a small team can have an income of 70,000-8 million yuan. After the homework in 2018, each of us can have an income of about 100,000 yuan. ”
The members of Nonghuan Plant Protection are very satisfied with the income in 2018, and they intend to continue to expand the team in 2019 and add 6-8 Jifei p20 units according to the actual situation. The reason why the p20 was also purchased, Zhu Beibei said, was because the p20 was more suitable for operation in Hubei and was flexible and easy to control. Their mainland market mainly relies on Hubei, and there is no need to purchase p30 suitable for large plot operations in order to work in Xinjiang.
Zhu Beibei said: "In 2019, we will continue to serve the existing customer resources, and through these old customers to bring the new to expand the market, and always adhere to the purpose of doing a good job in local service." ”
