CCTV News (News Broadcast): Since this year, domestic agricultural machinery and equipment have accelerated the introduction of "new equipment" to accurately meet actual needs and improve the quality and efficiency of agricultural production.

Right now, the fresh corn harvest is coming in Jilin Province.Because fresh corn is afraid of being bumped, most of it was picked manually in the past. This year, the local government vigorously promoted special harvesters to improve harvesting efficiency.

At the ongoing 25th Changchun Agricultural Expo, a series of new equipment such as intelligent no-till seeders, light and simple corn harvesters, high-cleaning straw balers were also unveiled.This year, Jilin has invested 150 million yuan in research and development, targeting the most urgently needed models for grain production in Northeast China.

This year, more practical new equipment has accelerated its spread from fields to orchards and tea gardens.In this 10,000-acre tea garden in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, the newly rolled-off electric tea-picking machines are being used for demonstration purposes.In the past, the cost of harvesting bulk tea in summer and autumn was high and the labor gap was large.Nowadays, electric tea picking machines have been launched, which solves this problem.

At present, smart equipment is also changing traditional farming.At a meat duck breeding base in Xian County, Hebei Province, workers are taking newly hatched ducklings into a smart brooding shed.These newly put into use smart duck houses can monitor indicators such as temperature and humidity in real time, the automatic feeding system accurately controls the feeding, and the drinking fountains come out at the same time. Breeding experience has become a standardized procedure, which greatly improves the survival rate of ducklings.

At present, the central government has invested a total of more than 7 billion yuan to speed up the research on shortcomings of machines and tools.The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology have sorted out a catalog of shortcomings in agricultural machinery and equipment by region, industry, variety, and link.A batch of high-end intelligent agricultural machinery equipment and agricultural machinery equipment suitable for hilly and mountainous areas have achieved breakthroughs and industrialized applications.
