Mechanization Drives Agricultural Transformation in Qianjin Town, Nanxun

Agricultural mechanization has empowered local farmers in Qianjin Town, Nanxun District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, enabling them to expand their planting scale. A local large-scale farmer has nearly tripled his farmland area through land transfer, supported by machinery that covers almost all links of grain production, including ploughing, seedling raising, transplanting, harvesting and drying.

With a long history of advanced agriculture, Qianjin Town has promoted agricultural transformation through the "dual strengthening" strategy of technological and mechanized agriculture, guided by party building. This approach has brought tremendous changes to the town’s agricultural production methods.

The town has linked grassroots party building with agricultural technology, setting up volunteer teams composed of agricultural experts to provide targeted on-site services for farmers. It has also integrated agricultural resources to establish a "Field Nanny" service center, offering technical guidance, land trusteeship, policy consultation, financial support and agricultural supplies services.

The promotion of agricultural machinery and technology has significantly improved production efficiency and reduced costs. For example, an agricultural drone can complete pest control work on 60 mu of rice per hour, even at night, covering 500 to 600 mu in two days— a task that would take six to seven people three days to finish manually. The introduction and popularization of new agricultural machinery and technologies aim to boost agricultural efficiency and farmers’ income.

Driven by party building, the "Field Nanny" service model has been widely promoted, integrating agricultural resources to achieve industrial agglomeration effects and promote common prosperity. This model has also driven profound changes in agricultural production methods, advancing digital transformation in the town’s agriculture.
