Chapter 747

One day in late July, Yin Zuogang personally brought a technician and a business person to Pengjiawanzhen. Before coming, he didn't call Su Xinghui, but came directly. He thought that if he came earlier, he should be able to see Su Xinghui at the town government.

Unexpectedly, when Yin Zuogang arrived at the Pengjiawanzhen government, Su Xinghui had already gone to the village. Yin Zuogang asked, and Su Xinghui had gone to Dongtang Village. He asked how to go to Dongtang Village, and asked for directions all the way to Dongtang Village.

When Su Xinghui saw Yin Zuogang, he said happily, "Brother Yin, didn't I ask you to send a few people? Why did you come yourself?"

Yin Zuogang said, "You, Town Mayor Su, have something to do, dare I not come myself?"

Su Xinghui laughed loudly, "Brother Yin, you really know how to joke."

Yin Zuogang said, "Okay, let's not tell jokes, let's see what kind of agricultural machinery the farmers here need."

When Yin Zuogang found Su Xinghui, he was just looking at the growth of rice in the field with Liu Tiegang and Fan Nan, a student of Professor Luo Ping, by the field. Now is the time for topdressing rice. Because of the disaster this year, the crops were greatly affected, so the county distributed a batch of free urea, and these experts from the Agricultural University were guiding the farmers to scientifically fertilize.

What made Su Xinghui happy was that after Fan Nan observed the growth of rice, he said that as long as reasonable fertilization, the application of some antibacterial agents and foliar fertilizers, and no such natural disasters appear later, the rice yield this year will at least not be worse than last year.

Therefore, when Yin Zuogang came just now, Su Xinghui was talking to Liu Tiegang and Luo Ping with joy.

Su Xinghui said, "How about this, this is Fan Nan, a graduate student at Jiangcheng Agricultural University, and this is Liu Tiegang, the village director of Dongtang Village. Let's call a few more farmers to discuss what kind of agricultural machinery is needed for planting rice and vegetables."

Yin Zuogang said, "That's fine."

Liu Tiegang called a few farmers over to discuss the machinery they needed after establishing the vegetable cooperative.

First of all, tractors and rotary tillers are definitely needed. No matter what kind of crops are planted, these two machines are needed. Tractors can be used as traction tools for many kinds of agricultural machinery, and rotary tillers can deeply plow the land.

In the past, farmers could only use cattle to plow the land. Some farmers didn't even have cattle and had to plow it themselves. Using animal power and human power to plow the land naturally couldn't be deeply plowed, but using a rotary tiller is different.

The rotary tiller can replace manual work and animal work. The working depth reaches about 20 cm, breaking the plow bottom left by traditional plowing operations, turning the surface soil to the lower layer, fully inactivating harmful substances, increasing soil fertility, improving soil compaction, facilitating water storage and moisture conservation, and the working efficiency is much higher than before.

Moreover, the rotary tiller can deeply plow, which is also conducive to deep application of base fertilizer, improving fertilizer use efficiency, saving the amount of fertilizer used, and making the crops grow better.

In rice planting, harvesters are also needed for harvesting operations when the rice matures.

These kinds of machinery, the Shangjun County Machinery Factory already has very mature models, and there are large and small ones, which can be purchased directly. However, in vegetable planting, some of the machinery needed does not have mature models. It is necessary for agricultural experts and farmers to introduce the vegetable planting process to Yin Zuogang and others, and then design corresponding machinery according to these processes.

In field vegetable planting, the main processes include plowing, ridging, transplanting, etc. Yin Zuogang and the technicians listened carefully to the introduction of these processes by Fan Nan and several farmers, and recorded the key points of these processes in their notebooks, preparing to design corresponding agricultural machinery after returning.

Yin Zuogang attaches great importance to this business. He heard Su Xinghui say that Pengjiawan has 110,000 mu of land. Within a few years, it is possible that all of them will be planted with vegetables. This is not a small market.

More importantly, the several townships east of Shangjun County are basically plains, with more than 500,000 mu of land. Such a large plain is very suitable for mechanized operations. This is a big market.

Not only that, as long as the Shangjun County Machinery Factory can design the most suitable agricultural machinery for rice and vegetable planting, it will be a preemptive opportunity. Now in Hudong Province, agricultural machinery has not been used on a large scale. This is a huge market waiting to be developed.

On this day, Yin Zuogang personally took people to run to many villages and collected many suggestions from farmers. Su Xinghui also helped them get to know the village cadres and cooperative presidents of each village. Next time they come, they can directly contact these cadres.

Yin Zuogang and others returned to Shangjun County with the collected information. They will design suitable agricultural machinery based on this information. After the trial production is successful, they will also come to Pengjiawan for trial use, and then make modifications and finalization before they can carry out large-scale production.

This matter was solved, and another big stone in Su Xinghui's heart fell to the ground.

This vegetable production is different from grain production. As the saying goes: "One mu of vegetable garden is ten mu of land." It can be seen that vegetable production is labor-intensive and time-consuming. If suitable vegetable planting machinery cannot be designed, labor efficiency will be very low. Small-scale planting is fine, but if you want to plant on a large scale, you must use mechanical operations.

It can be said that this matter has very significant significance for Pengjiawan's vegetable planting industry, and Su Xinghui is also very relieved to hand this matter to Yin Zuogang. Yin Zuogang's ability and integrity are both excellent, and he is the best candidate to complete this matter at the current stage.

Time entered early August, which is the hottest season of the year in the middle reaches of the Changjiang River. The temperature once rose to above 40 degrees. Such continuous high temperature made Su Xinghui worry again, because high temperature also has a great impact on the growth and development of rice.

A month ago, Su Xinghui was still worried every day that the rain would not stop, and now he is worried every day that the temperature is too high. This is also a kind of helplessness.

This day, he just returned to the town government from the village, Chen Xianyi entered his office, Su Xinghui turned on the ceiling fan, wiped his sweat with a towel and said, "Secretary Chen is here, sit. This weather is really hot, it hasn't rained for a long time."

Chen Xianyi sat down and said, "Yes, the weather is too hot, the wind from this ceiling fan is hot on the body, this year's rice, it must be a reduction in production."

Su Xinghui nodded, "The reduction in production is estimated to be unavoidable, I only hope that the loss can be a little smaller. However, the county allocated a batch of free chemical fertilizer this year, it should be a little better. I went to the village to see, and the farmers' mood is still relatively good."
