In the field of hope ｜ ＂data control＂ plays ＂new＂ agriculture

CCTV News:During the harvest season, many new farmers are active in the vast fields. They are using newer ideas, better technology and more scientific management mode to change the traditional agricultural planting methods and harvest their own "bumper life".

PPT will be put on first in the meeting. Data and flow are high-frequency words that pop up from time to time in the discussion. You may not think that this group of young people with an average age of less than 29 are actually dealing with land every day.

Li Ting is the head of this team. After graduating from Jiangxi Agricultural University in 2015, she went to an eco-agricultural company in Guangdong. At the end of 2016, Li Ting resigned and returned to his hometown Yingshang County, Anhui Province to start a business.

Compared with the traditional farmers facing the loess and facing the sky, Li Ting’s team is labeled as a "new farmer". The 11 members are all university graduates, including those who study agriculture, finance and journalism. In Li Ting’s view, their advantage lies in making good use of data to guide farming.

Data becomes new agricultural materials to help traditional agricultural production

Then, how did Li Ting and his team apply the new agricultural material "data" to farming? Let’s continue to read the report.

The cycle of crop growth, the change of market conditions, the performance of sales terminals and the portrait of customer groups are as important to Li Ting and his team as seeds, fertilizers and pesticides. At present, this 200-acre spinach is just the harvest that Li Ting and others "grabbed" with data. Before, because of the continuous high temperature, the sprouting rate of edamame was not good even after two crops were planted in the field, and it was about to be harvested.

In order to make good use of data, a new agricultural resource, Li Ting has set the development direction of "market-oriented, order-based planting". Although the planting structure of seedlings of pepper, chestnut pumpkin, Trichosanthes kirilowii and cauliflower has been adjusted, it can ensure that all the seedlings are "explosive". There are jobs in the greenhouse all year round, and more than 60 villagers have a relatively stable job.

The action of "two strengths and one increase" helps new farmers "wisdom" to cultivate land

In order to further improve the efficiency of vegetable planting, Li Ting and others are going to upgrade the previous greenhouse, but the upfront investment in facility agriculture is very large, and the cost of upgrading the digital greenhouse is even higher. How did they solve the problem of funds?

Just when Li Ting’s team was at a loss for funds, Anhui Province launched the action of "strengthening agriculture by science and technology, strengthening agriculture by machinery and increasing farmers’ income", providing a series of policies and financial support for digital agriculture projects.

With the support of various policies and funds of the local government, Li Ting’s base has gradually established a digital seedling factory, a cold storage room, a movable seedbed, an automatic sprinkler system and a visual Internet of Things system. These "new farm tools" exchanged for real money have made farming more scientific and technological and easier.

Just last year, Li Ting became a science and technology correspondent in Yingshang County, and his base has also become a local exhibition area for promoting modern agriculture. Almost every week, people come to visit and study.

Digitalization empowers new farmers to become farmers.

Li Ting and his friends have used what they have learned to become new farmers, realizing their own value and driving more and more people around them.

At present, the planting base of Li Ting has grown to 560 mu, and the surrounding planting area is 3,000 mu driven by radiation. Everyone knows that following Li Ting, there is no need to sell vegetables.

In the past two years, in addition to the flourishing facilities vegetable project, Li Ting and his team have successively transferred more than 2,000 mu of cultivated land, planting staple foods such as rice and wheat. Growing vegetables and raising seedlings, they already have rich experience and stable sales channels. Why should they go out of the comfort zone? Li Ting’s goal in mind is not small.

Li Ting, head of Anhui Yingshang Shili Ecological Agriculture Technology Co., Ltd.:We do field crops mainly based on the consideration of "digital" farmland, and we want to digitally empower in the field. At the same time, there is no need to panic when we have food in our hands, and the issue of national food security is also our responsibility as a new farmer.
