Accelerate the Intelligent Process of Agricultural Machinery

Facing the complex and changeable international situation, smart and unmanned will be direction of agricultural mechanization development in the future. We need accelerate the research and manufacture of intellectual agricultural machinery, and infrastructure construction of rural information to make a no dead corners, all days, low cost internet information. Making full use of agricultural internet of things, big data, cloud computing and other modern agricultural technologies to enhance the level of intelligent grain production.

At present, aging of rural labor force are gradually prominent which become the potential trouble of grain safety. CPC Rural Conference proposed to build an agricultural power, and guarantee a stable and secure supply of grain and important agricultural products has always been the top priority of building an agricultural power. Focus on the key agricultural machinery and equipment, speed up efforts to improve the weaknesses of agricultural machinery and equipment, explore new way to integrate intelligence with agricultural machinery and agricultural technology, truly realize the “machine for man”, effectively crack the century question of “ who will farm and how to farm” and promote the high quality development of grain production.

Agricultural mechanization is the only way of modern agricultural development. In recent years, Our country has greatly promoted the development of agricultural mechanization and intelligence, which put grain production into new stage led by mechanization. At present, the overall mechanization rate of crop cultivation and harvest is more than 72%, and the overall mechanization rate of mainly food crop cultivation and harvest is more than 80%. Among them, the overall mechanization rate of wheat, corn and rice are separately more than 97%, 90% and 85%. Except for some parts that rely on human labor, most food production has basically completed the historic shift of replacing machines with people.

Practice has proved that the contribution rate of agricultural mechanization to grain production has increased significantly. Comparing with the traditional artificial farming way, the application of agricultural machinery is beneficial to carry out the concept of scientific farming. It can decrease seed waste in the sowing process effectively, and reduce the lose rate in harvest process to ensure the higher yield of grain using the standardized operation. What’s more, agricultural machinery works effectively, catch the farming season, and strengthen the ability of grain production to withstand the natural disasters and ensure the stable and high grain yields.

Intelligent agriculture is flourishing in our country, unmanned farms, agricultural machinery town are blooming everywhere, agricultural machinery deep-loosening operation monitoring, agricultural UVA plant production, unmanned agricultural machinery, harvest output monitoring, agricultural machinery management information system and other intelligent equipment are widely used in agricultural production. Farmers have changed from being able to farm to “wise farming”. Farmers who “ face the ground back to the sky” are “holding the mobile phone to manage the yield”. Comparing with the traditional agricultural machinery, intelligent agricultural machinery truly liberates manpower. Farmers only need press the on-off button to control the unmanned tractors, rice transplanters, combine-harvesters and plant protection drones leveling, planting, fertilizing, spraying and harvesting according to the preset operation route at home. Greatly reduce the labor cost and time cost, improve the efficiency of agricultural production.

At present, Chinese agricultural mechanization is in the development stage from mechanization to intelligence. It also faces problems such as backwards research and development of intelligent agricultural machinery, non-coverage of network signal in remote areas and shortage of intelligent talents. We need speed up the research, development and manufacturing of intelligent agricultural machinery and equipment, add scientific wings to grain production, and secure the rice bowl of the Chinese people in our own hands.
