Talking about the Four Factors of Leap-forward Development of Maize Mechanization in Luancheng City

Luancheng County is the main producing area of ​​corn production, with an area of ​​more than 700,000 mu. In the past two years, the mechanization of corn production has been gradually recognized by farmers. From the earliest corn machines to the return of straw to the corn harvester today, the corn production mechanization has taken a new step, and the entire process of corn production is being mechanized. Progressive. The reason why such a good situation has emerged is that there are mainly four factors to promote:

First, the peasants need urgently. Harvesting corn by hand is not only labor-intensive, but also costs more than machine harvesting. Although corn harvesting generally does not require cropping, it is time-consuming and laborious that modern farmers are not willing to do. If corn planting areas such as those in Fucheng County are all harvested by hand, due to the large-scale transfer of rural labor, not only cannot their own responsibilities be able to do their jobs, but their employment will also become a big problem. Because now the young and middle-aged rural labor force, more than 90% of them go out to work, leaving mostly old and sick. The income from migrant workers is considerable. If they return home to collect corn, the cost of the project will include lost time and costs. This is even higher than the value of the harvested corn. This is far less likely to work out of accounts, and they desperately need to use mechanical harvest. corn.

The second is the good income of purchasers. For the purchaser, the corn harvester is a tool for getting rich. According to the survey, a backpacking corn combine harvester will operate in the fall. Under normal circumstances, the net income will earn about 10,000 yuan. If the business is in good condition, the net income can reach 15,000 yuan. In particular, this year, many operators have increased the price of wheat harvesting operations, and they are optimistic that the operation market for harvesting corn in autumn will be booming, which greatly stimulates the enthusiasm of the owners of corn harvesters. For example: Hucheng Yang, a corn combine harvester in Dongkou Town, Yancheng County, began to engage in paid harvesting services for corn mechanization in 2007. The net income for the year was more than 10,000 yuan; the net income was close to 20,000 yuan from 2008 to 2010; After consultation with the Agricultural Machinery Department and applying for the “Cross-District Operation Permit”, he has now traveled to Henan to work across regions. He is confident that the minimum net income of 20,000 yuan this year will not be a problem. The good operating income of buyers has played a positive role in the mechanized harvest of corn.

The third is the vigorous promotion of the agricultural machinery department. In recent years, the agricultural machinery department of Luancheng County has promoted the harvesting of maize mechanization as a key promotion project: Subsidy for purchase of subsidy has been strongly tilted toward the corn harvesting machinery from the subsidy type to the subsidy ratio; the superiority of corn harvester has been vigorously promoted. A number of live demonstrations were held to “do farmer watching, helping farmers, and carrying farmers.” Through demonstrations and comparisons, the peasants were able to experience the benefits of corn harvesting and the technology of corn harvesters. Passed to the peasants. Let the peasants realize the change from "requiring me to buy" to "I want to buy." The incentives for a number of promotional measures and preferential policies have increased the enthusiasm of farmers to purchase corn harvesters.

The fourth is the growing maturity of corn machine technology. Due to the large corn harvest potential and the large demand market, corn machine manufacturers continue to improve and technology has improved. At present, the technical standards and operational functions of the second-row and third-row corn combine harvesters have been mature, the quality is stable, and the operations are reliable. The farmers can purchase and use them with confidence. The improvement of the reliability and adaptability of corn harvesters has greatly promoted the development of corn joint harvesting machines.
