Jiangsu promotes the mechanization of corn production as a whole

Recently, the reporter learned from the Jiangsu Province on the scene of corn production mechanization that, as of now, Jiangsu has completed more than 160 million mu of corn planting this year, the aircraft level reached 40%, this year is expected to complete nearly 1.3 million mu of corn machines, machine harvest level reached 33%. The province's corn production mechanization has shown an overall advancement and accelerated development.

Maize is the third largest crop in Jiangsu. In order to reduce the labor intensity of farmers, promote the standardization and standardization of corn production, and achieve cost-effectiveness of corn production, in recent years, Jiangsu has increased the overall promotion of corn production mechanization.

It is understood that Jiangsu will continue to include corn planter and corn combine harvester subsidies this year. The finances of counties (districts) and townships have also increased their support. Ganxian arranges 2 million yuan of special funds for the development of corn production mechanization, and Xiangshui County adds subsidies of 2,000 yuan for maize sowing machinery on the basis of central and provincial purchase subsidies. Under the encouragement of purchase subsidy policy, the increment of Jiangsu corn planter and harvester achieved a double breakthrough. The province has added 3098 corn planters and 268 corn harvesters this year. In 2012, Jiangsu will strive to implement a generalized system of subsidies for corn production machinery.

In the promotion of mechanization of corn production, Jiangsu focused on the use of typical leads and demonstrations. Through the principles of “demonstrate first, promote afterwards, and develop steadily” throughout the province, the province has gradually formed the corn production of “to promote households”, “to bring households to villages”, “to bring villages to towns”, and “to take towns to bring counties”. Mechanization promotes the overall pattern. Lianyungang City implemented a demonstration project for agricultural mechanization with the main content of corn harvest mechanization, and 13 demonstration bases for corn mechanization innovation have been established. Counties such as Handan, Suining and Donghai have also successively eliminated the chronological goal of realizing the mechanization of corn production.

Appropriate equipment and supporting agronomic techniques are crucial in the promotion of agricultural production mechanization. Jiangsu implemented agricultural machinery and technology projects such as the implementation of three projects of provincial agricultural machinery and the promotion of new machinery and new technologies, which promoted the introduction, testing, demonstration and research and development of maize sowing, harvesting, straw return and silage mechanization technology. At present, the corn sowing machinery is basically mature, the basic shape of the harvesting machinery, and the effective integration of agricultural machinery and agronomy.

Xu Shunnian, director of the Jiangsu Provincial Bureau of Agricultural Machinery, said that from the perspective of practice in some parts of the province, the increase in production per mu for the deepening of agricultural machinery can reach 100 kg, and 4 million mu for pure corn in Jiangsu. About 400 million kilograms can be produced. This is just a key new technology in the mechanization of corn production.

According to reports, in accordance with the overall push targets and progress, Jiangsu is expected to reach 2015, the province will basically achieve the mechanization of corn production.
