Xinjiang: "Hard" Cotton Picker Efficiently "Big Egg"

At present, Xinjiang cotton area is still a busy autumn harvest scene. From afar, the cotton picker in the cotton field gave a roaring noise and swallowed white cotton into the body. Only bare cotton stalks were left in the cotton field. Cotton was quickly spit out in the field, and a big egg was born in a short time.

On October 11th, at the demonstration site of agricultural machinery operation at Tengfei farm in Changji national agricultural science and Technology Park, a "iron ox" galloping on the field of hope. The efficiency of cotton picker is much higher than that of manual labor. 1 machines can harvest 500 mu of land in 1 days. In the past, 400 kilograms of cotton fields were produced per mu, and 4 flower pickups did not rest for 1 days. Looking at the busy cotton picker in front of him, Ma Jianfei, director of the agricultural cooperatives of Nong Xin, Changji, sighed with emotion.

"1 flower pickers pick 1 kilograms of cotton picking fees for 2 yuan, 1 acres of real estate cotton 400 kg, picking fee is 800 yuan, and mechanical harvesting 1 acres of land only 145 yuan." Zhang Liyong, who is from Manasi county to see the demonstration of agricultural machinery operation, is responsible for the Manasi Yinfeng cotton planting professional cooperative.

In the past, the cotton picking cost of 1 mu land was between 700-1000 yuan before cotton picking machine was used. During the cotton picking season, we should not only go to pick up florist, but also worry about the lodging and lodging, health, management, safety, transportation and so on.

"The application of new technologies will not only increase the quality of crops, but also make the people save energy and generate income." Ma Jianfei excitedly said, "the whole mechanization operation of cotton production period, from the angle of saving money and increasing efficiency, 1 mu land can at least increase three hundred or four hundred yuan income for farmers."

The popularization and application of modern agricultural machinery such as plastic film recovery machine, precision seeder, deep loosening machine, satellite positioning and navigation, drone operation and so on, not only accelerate the process of agricultural standardization, promote the quality and efficiency of the industry, but also reduce the labor intensity, and further promote the transformation and upgrading of Agricultural Mechanization in Xinjiang.

With the deep integration of agricultural machinery and agronomy, the implementation of the "Internet + agricultural machinery operation" mode, the Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture's precision seeding, precision fertilization, precise pesticide application, and UAV flying prevention and other cost saving and synergistic technologies have been rapidly promoted, and the cotton production level has reached 94.4%, a record high.

[farmers want to know]

During the interview, many farmers and cooperatives leaders asked reporters: the popularization and application of modern agricultural machinery will not only increase the quality of crops, but also make the people save energy and generate income, but the 1 cotton pickup machines need millions of yuan, and they need policy support support. Is there any subsidy for old, old and high-energy equipment upgrading?

Subsidies for agricultural machinery purchase continue to adopt quotas + limit ratio.

Autonomous Region Agricultural Machinery Bureau Chief Engineer Pei Xinmin: the development of agricultural mechanization can not be separated from the promotion of policies, inseparable from the stable implementation of agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy. In accordance with the scope of the central government's financial subsidies for machinery in the past 2018-2020 years, 15 categories, 42 sub categories and 137 items were subsidized. As of the end of September, the total purchase subsidy fund was 626 million yuan, accounting for 91.5% of the total amount of subsidy funds for agricultural machinery purchase, 28 thousand and 500 sets of machinery and 21 thousand households benefited from it.

The object of agricultural machinery purchase subsidy is individual and agricultural production and operation organization engaged in agricultural production. Among them, agricultural production and operation organizations include rural collective economic organizations, farmers' professional cooperative economic organizations, agricultural enterprises and other organizations engaged in agricultural production and operation.

Priority should be given to ensuring the needs for the production of major agricultural products such as grain and subsoiling, no tillage, sowing, efficient plant protection, water-saving irrigation, efficient fertilization, straw returning to field, residual film recycling, livestock manure utilization, and livestock and poultry harmless treatment.

The subsidy standard for agricultural machinery purchase is that the central government subsidize the purchase of agricultural machinery with a quota subsidy, that is to say, a unified subsidy standard should be applied to the same category and the same grade of agricultural machinery. Among them, the subsidy amount of general machinery should not exceed the maximum subsidy issued by the Ministry of agriculture. The amount of subsidy is calculated on the basis of the average selling price of the same products last year, and the calculated proportion is not more than 30% in principle.

At present, we continue to implement the circular on the pilot project of differential purchase of agricultural machinery in southern Tibet and Xinjiang. The specific standards are implemented according to the list of subsidies for machinery purchase subsidy issued by the Agricultural Machinery Bureau of the autonomous region and the financial department. The quota of specific products is continued to be determined by "quota + limited ratio".

The average allowance of single subsidy for general subsidy machines is not more than 50 thousand yuan; the allowance of single machine for milking machines and driers is not more than 120 thousand yuan; 100 more than HP tractors, high performance forage harvesters, large no till seeding machines, large combine harvesters, single rice subsidies for rice seed soaking and germination control equipment are not more than 150 thousand yuan; 200 MP and above single tractor subsidies are not more than 250 thousand yuan; the single subsidy for large sugarcane harvesters is not more than 400 thousand yuan; the subsidy for large cotton pickers is not more than 600 thousand yuan.
