Agricultural Machinery Ground exhibition enters the Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival

On the morning of September 22nd, the main venue celebration of the Third Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival jointly organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the Shanxi Provincial Government kicked off at the Yellow River Agricultural Civilization Expo Park in Wanrong County, Yuncheng City.In the afternoon, the China Agricultural Machinery Circulation Association, the Shanxi Agricultural Machinery Development Center, and the Yuncheng Municipal People's Government jointly held the agricultural Machinery Ground Exhibition-Orchard Machinery enters Yuncheng Special demonstration and display activities in the Apple Theme Park of Zhanglifeng Village, Jiacun Township, Wanrong County, creating a new history of agricultural machinery ground exhibition.For the first time, the agricultural machinery ground exhibition was held on the same day as the main venue of the Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival, highlighting that the brand value of the agricultural machinery ground exhibition industry carefully created by the China Agricultural Machinery Circulation Association has been widely recognized by the society, and the influence of the agricultural machinery ground exhibition has also exceeded that of the agricultural machinery industry; for the first time, the agricultural machinery ground exhibition appeared for two live demonstrations. Breakthrough.

Yuncheng was called “Hedong” in ancient times and was the source of Chinese farming civilization.According to legend, “Leizu parishioners raise silkworms in Xia County, and Houji parishioners cultivate silkworms in Jishan”, and Houtu, the god of the earth, the god of fertility, and the protector of agriculture for a good harvest, also lives in this magical land.According to historical records, more than 4,000 years ago, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan “swept the ground as an altar on the ground” to worship the Hou Tu; more than 2,000 years ago, Emperor Wudi of Han founded the Hou Tu Temple, and left here the popular ancient masterpiece "Autumn Breeze".Today, the harvest festival is held in Wanrong County, where the Houtu Ancestral Hall is located, which connects the harvest festival with the ancient farming civilization and has far—reaching historical significance.Agriculture in Yuncheng City is characterized by many fruits, covering an area of 3.28 million mu, accounting for 40% of Shanxi Province; the annual output is 5.5 million tons, accounting for 60% of the province.Wanrong County has a fruit area of 500,000 mu, of which 350,000 mu are apples, and the total apple production is 1.155 billion kilograms. The per capita net income of the fruit industry accounts for more than 60% of the per capita net income of farmers.Based on the actual situation of agricultural production, the Yuncheng Municipal People's Government decided to invite the China Agricultural Machinery Circulation Association and the Shanxi Agricultural Machinery Development Center to jointly organize the agricultural Machinery ground exhibition-Orchard Machinery enters Yuncheng Special demonstration and display activities during the Harvest Festival.Chang Manzeng, deputy secretary-general of the Yuncheng Municipal People's Government, said that there are three main problems affecting fruit production in Yuncheng at present. One is that the fruit market is highly volatile and prices are rising and falling, which has a great impact on farmers; the other is that the labor costs of orchard production remain high, and it is difficult to use labor when farmers are busy, and the call for mechanized production is growing; the third is that the quality of employees is low, and it is more difficult to popularize and apply new technologies, which restricts the improvement of production levels.This activity of orchard machinery entering Yuncheng is very targeted and necessary to realize the substitution of machines and reduce the production cost of orchards.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, more than 80 sets of orchard machinery produced by 24 companies participated in the live demonstration, including power machinery, nursery machinery, mowing and weeding machinery, cultivator machinery, plant protection machinery (including drones), orchard harvesting machinery and auxiliary operating platforms, pruning machinery, branch crushing machinery, trenching and fertilizing machinery, water and fertilizer integrated equipment, etc.According to the scheduled plan, we first started with the trenching and fertilizing machinery. The orchard suddenly rumbled with the sound of machines. You sang all kinds of machinery and I appeared. The operators of the machines were obviously experienced in demonstrations and connected with each other very smoothly.

There were more than 300 on-site observers, including personnel from agricultural machinery technology promotion, scientific research units, agricultural machinery distribution enterprises, agricultural capital enterprises, fruit companies and local fruit farmers.During the demonstration, the sky was not beautiful, and it rained patteringly, and the fields became a little muddy, but it didn't seem to affect people's interest in watching the demonstration of machinery. When it came to the demonstration of mowing and weeding machinery and plant protection machinery, the number of people not only did not decrease, but increased.

Jia Yongyi from Zhanglifeng Village is an old fruit farmer in his 70s. He saw the trenching and fertilizing machine produced by Zhongyi Modern Agricultural Equipment Technology Co., Ltd., which can complete trenching, fertilizing, and backfilling operations at once. He said yes, but lamented that his more than ten acres of orchards are all old orchards, and this machine can't get into the ground at all.However, he quickly discovered the 2F-35 type suspended trenching and fertilizing machine and the 2F-3B type self-propelled multi-function fertilizing machine produced by Gaomi Yifeng Machinery Co., Ltd. After comparison, he believed that the 2F-3B type self-propelled multi-function fertilizing machine has a smaller size and can carry out automatic backfilling, ditching, rotary tillage, weeding, backfilling, spraying and other operations by replacing the working parts, which can get in and out of the ground, which is more practical.

There are many plant protection machinery for orchards participating in the demonstration. There are various types such as traction, crawler, ride-on, and remote control. From the perspective of liquid spraying methods, the air-delivered type is outstanding.But one of the products that attracts attention is the STORM series air-delivered electrostatic tower sprayer and STORM series air-delivered electrostatic jackhammer sprayer produced by Guangxi Enbao Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd.The working principle of electrostatic spraying method is to first form charged droplets, and use the principle of same-sex repulsion and opposite-sex attraction of charges to achieve uniform distribution of droplets on the surface of the crop, and produce an outflanking effect on the crop, that is, charged droplets are attracted by the induced charge on the surface of the crop and deposited on the front and back of the target body, thereby improving the prevention and control effect.According to the company, the utilization rate of pesticides can be increased to more than 90%.

Yuan Tongbao, secretary-general of the Fruit and Vegetable Tea Machinery Branch of the China Agricultural Machinery Circulation Association, told reporters that the agricultural machinery exhibition was carefully organized for key production links such as fertilization, weeding, plant protection, picking, and waste treatment in the production of local orchards. The products of more than 20 companies were selected to participate in the live demonstration. The effect is very good. In addition to today's demonstration, it will be held on the 23rd. This is the first time in the history of the agricultural machinery exhibition.He said: “The fundamental of the agricultural machinery ground exhibition lies in grounding the air. It is necessary to screen farmers for affordable, well-used, and affordable agricultural machinery products, so that more high-quality agricultural machinery companies can shine their swords on the ground, speak with facts and effects, and give the people the most intuitive experience and presentation.”

The leaders attending the agricultural machinery exhibition were Hou Zhenquan, deputy Director of Shanxi Agricultural Machinery Development Center, Yuan Tongbao, Secretary-General of the Fruit and Vegetable Tea Machinery Branch of the China Agricultural Machinery Circulation Association, Chang Manzeng, Deputy Secretary-General of the Yuncheng Municipal People's Government, Ma Guoyue, Director of Yuncheng Agricultural Machinery Development Center, and Li Xiaojiang, Director of Wanrong County Agricultural Machinery Development Center.Hou Zhenquan, deputy Director of Shanxi Agricultural Machinery Development Center, called on all agricultural machinery manufacturing enterprises, marketing enterprises and scientific research institutes to target the needs of agricultural production and “develop, manufacture, introduce and promote agricultural equipment suitable for national conditions and provincial conditions, advanced and applicable, high-quality and efficient, and promote the innovation of comprehensive machinery and equipment and the integrated application of complete sets of equipment in the whole process of breeding and breeding, grain economy and feeding” with the direction of "specialized, refined, special and new".
