The farmers in Taixing city, situated in East China's Jiangsu province, recently wasted no time in ramping up their agricultural production to full capacity.
In Zhangshi village in Guangling town, local farmer Gu Yajun has been engaged in planting of rice and wheat for a decade. The constantly updated agricultural drones have reduced Gu's workload and improved his operational efficiency.
"I have been using agricultural drones since the first generation and now the latest model has faster work efficiency," Gu declared.
Elsewhere in Heshi town, the Laolonghe Grain Planting Professional Cooperative was established by six local family farms.
The farms' agricultural materials and fertilizers are jointly procured by the cooperative, effectively reducing overall production costs. The Laolonghe cooperative has also partnered with several other cooperatives to make bulk purchases, allowing manufacturers to send them stuff directly without the need for distributors.
The growing confidence of farmers to conduct spring farming also stems from the Taixing departments and their support and protection for the agricultural material market.
Focusing on key agricultural materials such as seeds, pesticides and fertilizers, law enforcement officers visit various stores to inspect the qualifications of the operators, their product labeling, production dates and other relevant information.
