In 2019, the autumn harvest was received from the summer. The reporters of the Beijing News witnessed the popularity and efficiency of agricultural mechanization in many places across the country. It is said that the machine “completely liberated the hands of the majority of farmers in China” may be slightly exaggerated, but it definitely makes farmers generally Get away from physical labor.

In the summer harvest at the end of May, in Anyang, Henan Province, the reporter witnessed the busy scene of the migration of the new era “Mike” across the region. The local farmer Liu Kuitang clearly remembers that in the production team, every summer harvest, everyone had to take the sickle and seize the time to cut the wheat. I really can't wait, because once I have passed, I have to watch the wheat rotten in the ground. On May 24th, Liu Kuitang pointed to the 4 acres of wheat land that had just been cut by other families. "This has also been cut for more than an hour. Before going to the ground, 4 acres of land will be cut to at least four days." He counted his own 17 acres of wheat fields, and all the farm work was arranged for up to two days, and the wheat harvest work was completed.

In the past, the people who used to collect wheat for others were called “Mike”, and their tools were sickle. With the development and advancement of agricultural mechanization, the maks who harvested wheat with a sickle were gradually abandoned by the times. From iron boring tools to combine harvesters of more than 100,000 yuan, there is a world of difference in efficiency. Artificial wheat cutting has long been a major wheat producing area in the country. The "handsman" of the combine harvester is the "new maiden" of this new era. Every year in May, only in Weinan, Shaanxi, there are 16,000 “handsmen” who set off from their hometowns to collect wheat from all over the country and run through half of China.

In the autumn harvest in September, the reporter once again witnessed the high efficiency of mechanized farmland operations in Hebei and Jiangsu. Zhangjiakou, Hebei, the Beijing News reporter saw that the high-power corn harvester came into the market, and the price of 100 yuan per mu could be bargained. The machine actually had an upgraded version this year, not only can the skin go, even the straw is directly After the smashing process was completed, there was a farm vehicle in the field, and then it was towed away by the “stalk broker”.

Some harvesters were complaining because the corn husks were not peeled off during processing. Some villagers lamented that in the past, when they were in the autumn harvest, they were afraid of entering the ground. The corn cobs were hand-made one by one, the sun was poisonous, and the arms could not be lifted up in a day, even if it could not receive two acres of land, but now there is The harvester, a hundred acres of land has also become easy and easy. In Taicang, Jiangsu, rice harvesting is no longer a heavy manual labor. There are large harvesters and balers in the field, rice transport trucks are “transported”, food processing centers have dryers, and harvesting is no longer necessary to race against rainy days.

In fact, agricultural production is now mechanized in various categories and “businesses”. In Ulan Qab, the “potato capital”, large-scale agricultural machinery is used from planting to harvesting. In Baoding, Hebei, the peanut harvester is no stranger to the locals. In the south, there was a sugarcane harvester. Pesticide spraying, many places now have a drone plant protection team, the controller is called "flying hand", an acre of crops sprayed in a few minutes, the cheapest is only 10 dollars. Relying on modern agricultural machinery and equipment, in today's many village cooperative farms and even large-scale family farms, several people can complete hundreds of acres of farmland for two seasons.
