In late September, more than tens of millions of acres of cotton planted by the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps were mined one after another and entered the fields. The flower pickers who used to pick cotton in groups have disappeared. Instead, they are running back and forth in the fields. Cotton picker.

"One cotton picker can harvest 300 acres in one day, which is equivalent to 1,200 people picking in one day. The cotton harvest can be completed in half a month. The progress is fast and the cost is low." Xinjiang Corps Sixth Division Agricultural Machinery Technology Extension Station Director Song Zhuting said that the comprehensive mechanization rate of the cultivation and harvesting of major crops in the Sixth Division has reached 97%.

　　 The Sixth Division, located in northern Xinjiang, planted more than 1.8 million mu of cotton this year, all of which were harvested mechanically. According to Song Zhuting, the sixth division focuses on the green development of agriculture, accelerating the innovation and application of agricultural mechanization technologies such as water-saving irrigation, precise application of pesticides, targeted fertilization, livestock and poultry manure treatment, straw returning to the field, and residual film recovery, which are sustainable for agriculture. Development adds momentum. "Actively implement the field planting digital agriculture demonstration project, tap the potential of saving seeds, fertilizers, medicines and water. The integration of agricultural machinery and agronomy has become a broad consensus, and the information monitoring rate of the subsidized area for deep loosening and deep turning operations exceeds 80%."

As a key leading enterprise in the agricultural industrialization of the Sixth Division, Xinjiang Zhungeer Yinfeng Agricultural Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. builds a new model based on modern agricultural machinery equipment, high-tech talents as the core, and a new model of "Internet + agricultural machinery professional services". The integrated agricultural platform enterprise has played a positive role in leading and promoting the improvement of local agricultural machinery equipment level and the promotion of agricultural machinery technology.

"The company currently has 121 cotton pickers. Through years of mechanized cotton harvesting operations, the annual income of the group field people is increased by nearly 1 million yuan (RMB, the same below)." The company chairman Zhang Zhanyuan said that the company invested 34.45 million yuan in 2019. Import 8 integrated cotton pickers to better serve cotton growers.

　　 "From the'two cows lifting the bar' to navigation and precision farming and harvesting, agricultural mechanization provides strong support for the development of agricultural modernization." Song Zhuting said.

　　 The agricultural mechanization and intelligent development of the Sixth Division is just a microcosm of the Xinjiang Corps. From the beginning of the establishment of people pulling rake, to the introduction of tractors, cotton pickers and other agricultural machinery, to the establishment of factories to produce agricultural machinery with independent intellectual property rights, the level of agricultural mechanization of Xinjiang Corps has been continuously improved, and traditional farming methods have gradually been mechanized. Replaced by new equipment, more and more agricultural machinery with advanced technology and intelligent operation appeared in the fields, which played a huge role in replacing manpower, saving costs and increasing efficiency, and promoting large-scale operation, which effectively promoted the development of agricultural modernization.

　　 In recent years, the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps' agricultural machinery equipment structure has been optimized and the number has increased. The level of agricultural machinery equipment and the application of new agricultural technologies have all been in the forefront of China. Now the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps uses machinery to harvest cotton, sugar beet, tomato, pepper and other crops.

According to data, by the end of 2019, the comprehensive mechanization rate of cultivation and harvesting of Xinjiang Corps has reached 94.3%, and the level of agricultural mechanization is leading the country; it has 2500 cotton pickers, the area of mechanically harvested cotton reaches more than 10.8 million mu, and the mechanical harvest rate of cotton is 82%. , To become China's largest mechanized cotton picking base.
