At present, in the golden period of spring ploughing production in our city, in the fields of Yuzhong, Yongdeng, Gaolan and other places, rotary tillers, seedsers, mulching machines, residual film recycling machines, and Beidou navigation intelligent agricultural machinery shuttle back and forth, and the roar resounded throughout the fields.

Precise efforts to seize agricultural time
Since the beginning of the year, the agricultural machinery departments at all levels in the city have fully launched special actions for the maintenance and maintenance of agricultural machinery, organized technical personnel to go deep into township and village groups, agricultural machinery cooperatives, and large planting and breeding households to carry out free maintenance, commissioning and maintenance, fault troubleshooting and other work, seize the agricultural time to ensure spring plowing, and overhaul a total of 33,900 agricultural machinery and tools to ensure that all kinds of machinery and tools are put into operation in the best condition.
At the same time, the city's agricultural machinery departments at all levels have strengthened the supply and demand scheduling and material support of agricultural machinery, and up to now, 32,900 agricultural machinery has been invested, 221,200 mu of mechanized tillage and 75,400 mu of mechanical sowing have been completed, and the mechanized operation rate has steadily increased, running out of the "acceleration" of spring ploughing production.
It is reported that this year, the city plans to invest 61,900 units of various agricultural machinery, with a planned mechanized cultivation area of 856,800 mu and a mechanized sowing area of 1,441,600 mu.
Intelligent agricultural machinery shows its skills
The spring breeze blows on the Longyuan, and the fertile fields start a new journey. In the high-standard farmland demonstration area of Yongdeng County, unmanned agricultural machinery equipped with the Beidou navigation system operates accurately, driving in a straight line, automatically turning around, evenly sowing, and standardizing mulching in one go, and the error of row spacing, sowing depth, and plant spacing can be controlled at the centimeter level, and the single-day operation efficiency is more than 10 times higher than that of traditional manual labor, truly realizing seed saving, fertilizer saving, water saving and labor saving.

Yuzhong County focuses on plateau summer vegetables and grain production, promotes automatic seedling machines, soybean and corn strip compound seeders, and ridge mulching integrated machines, and mechanizes the whole process from seedlings and soil preparation to sowing and mulching, solving the problems of high labor costs and low operating efficiency.
From traditional human ox plowing to modern mechanical cluster operation, from decentralized farming to large-scale trusteeship services, from "knowing how to farm" to "smart farming", the city takes agricultural mechanization, intelligence and greening as the new driving force, and promotes the coordinated efforts of cultivated land protection and ecological environmental protection through the simultaneous promotion and application of intelligent agricultural machinery and green agricultural machinery, residual film recycling machines, and straw returning machines, and has embarked on an efficient, low-carbon and sustainable modern agricultural development path.
Socialization of agricultural machinery services
By continuously improving the socialized service system of agricultural machinery, the city vigorously cultivates new business entities such as agricultural machinery professional cooperatives, family farms, and large agricultural machinery owners, promotes the "cooperative + farmer + base" trusteeship service model, provides a "one-stop" service for the whole process of plowing, planting, management and harvesting, and establishes a system of increasing income with agriculture, effectively solving the pain points of small farmers who "can't plant, don't plant well, and have high costs".
During this period, the city set up a special class for field service for agricultural technology and agricultural machinery personnel at the city, county and township levels, went deep into the production line to carry out technical training, operation guidance, and policy publicity, taught agricultural machinery operators to standardize operation and safe operation step by step, and explained agricultural machinery subsidies, efficient machinery selection and other policies to farmers face-to-face, opening up the "last mile" of agricultural machinery technical services. Through land trusteeship, order operations, cross-regional operations, etc., the ability of agricultural machinery service organizations to connect agriculture with agriculture has been significantly enhanced, and small farmers can easily catch the mechanized "express" to reduce costs and increase efficiency, stabilize production and increase income.
Standardize operations to ensure spring plowing
Spring ploughing production, safety first. The city's agricultural machinery supervision agencies focus on source control and front-line supervision, go deep into agricultural machinery distribution enterprises, maintenance outlets, and operation sites to carry out special safety inspections, strictly investigate unlicensed driving, unlicensed driving, illegal modifications and other behaviors, and investigate and rectify potential safety hazards. At the same time, through the promotion of agricultural machinery safety into the countryside, fields, and cooperatives, publicity materials, safety common sense, and training operation specifications are distributed, and the safety awareness and operation skills of agricultural machinery operators are comprehensively improved, and the safety production line of agricultural machinery is built to ensure the orderly and efficient progress of spring plowing operations.

One by one, modern agricultural machinery galloped in the fields, and the picture of mechanized spring plowing slowly unfolded, which is not only a vivid epitome of Lanzhou's agricultural modernization level, but also a solid confidence to ensure food security. In Lanzhou, agricultural machinery is deeply cultivating the fertile fields with the power of "iron bulls", escorting spring plowing with hard work, and laying a solid foundation for a bumper grain yield and bumper harvest throughout the year, improving agricultural quality and efficiency, and continuously increasing farmers' income.
