On May 3, at the vegetable planting base in Dongfang Village, Baojia Town, a Vegetable Planter was making a "booming" sound, and the work of trenching, ridging, soil cultivation, rotary tillage, and soil loosening was completed in one go.

Tan Runhua, the person in charge of the vegetable planting base, told the author that 380 acres of various vegetables have been planted in the base, which has basically realized mechanized planting. According to reports, with the support of the County Agriculture Committee and Baojia Town Government, Tan Runhua has obtained many professional knowledge training opportunities and also learned about the advanced mechanized plant value technology outside the county and outside the city.

At present, Tan Runhua owns three planting bases in Daheba Village, Sanjiang Village and Dongfang Village. After careful inspection, they are equipped with remote-control Vegetable Planting Machine, film spreader, lawnmower, trencher, large sprayer and other mechanized equipment. "I didn't know how to use it at the beginning, but it was not difficult to find after constant exploration. These machines greatly reduced the labor cost of the base." Tan Runhua said, because the base’s fruits and vegetables such as peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, cucumbers are more difficult to harvest , So the basic harvesting still depends on manual operations.

"Mechanized operation and standardized cultivation have not only improved the efficiency of agricultural production, but also reduced the dependence on labor. It not only solved the problem of output, but also solved the problem of food safety by controlling the use of pesticides." Tan Runhua said. Currently, the base is investigating semi-mechanized harvesting and packaging trucks to grow olive vegetables and Chinese cabbage. This kind of machine can greatly reduce the labor intensity of farmers, improve production efficiency, and the price is lower. Because of in-situ packaging, it can also improve product quality, reduce logistics transportation and urban waste, and reduce energy consumption.
