Technology Empowers Busy Spring Ploughing, Changyi's Fertile Fields Embark on a New Journey

As spring warms both banks of the Weihe River, the fertile land is brimming with vitality. Across the vast fields of Changyi, Weifang, Shandong Province, agricultural machinery gallops, UAVs soar, and agricultural technicians rush between fields, unfolding a magnificent picture of spring ploughing empowered by technology, with diligent farmers seizing the season. From intelligent field management to agricultural material supply, from technical guidance to policy support, Changyi is seizing the farming season, preparing for spring ploughing and promoting production, laying a solid foundation for annual grain harvest and all-round rural revitalization with solid work.

Intelligent empowerment gives wings to spring ploughing. In Changyi's high-standard farmland, plant protection UAVs take off, conducting operations in an orderly manner along preset routes, with fine atomized liquid sprinkled evenly in the fields, becoming a "new agricultural tool" for spring ploughing. Meanwhile, intelligent field management is in full swing; farmers can start field sprinkler irrigation equipment with a light touch on their mobile phone screens to achieve precise irrigation. The intelligent irrigation system covering ten thousand mu of fertile land, equipped with soil moisture monitors and agricultural microclimate observation stations, can collect real-time data such as ground temperature and soil moisture and transmit it back to the big data center. Staff provide precise management guidance by analyzing the data, transforming spring ploughing from "experience-based" to "data-driven", which not only saves water and fertilizer but also greatly improves production efficiency.

Mechanization helps speed up and improve the efficiency of spring ploughing. In the spring ploughing season, various agricultural machinery becomes the "mainstay" in the fields. Local agricultural machinery operators rush to fully inspect tractors, fertilizer applicators and other agricultural machinery to ensure they are in the best condition for operation. Relevant departments actively organize agricultural machinery maintenance outlets and distribution enterprises, dispatch technical personnel to the front line to provide maintenance and safety education services, and guide suppliers to stock up sufficient agricultural machinery and accessories, focusing on ensuring the demand for key agricultural machinery such as irrigation and drainage, land preparation, and removing "hardware" obstacles for spring ploughing.

Adequate supply of agricultural materials builds a solid logistical line of defense for spring ploughing. Changyi actively guides agricultural material operators to stock up sufficient spring ploughing supplies; various fertilizers, seeds and pesticides are neatly classified and stacked in warehouses with sufficient supply. To meet the needs of spring sowing, the local area has accurately reserved various seeds, pesticides and fertilizers, and launched a customized "soil testing and fertilizer formulation" service, which precisely matches nutrients according to soil fertility, allowing farmers to use "targeted" agricultural materials. In addition, the local area has carried out special rectification of the agricultural material market, severely cracking down on illegal acts such as counterfeit and shoddy agricultural materials, and comprehensively weaving a safety protection net for agricultural materials by combining popular science publicity with agricultural technical training.

Policy support and technical guidance go hand in hand, injecting warm power into spring ploughing. The local area held a special meeting to interpret the policy-based agricultural insurance policy, and simultaneously carried out technical training on spring wheat field management, improving the dual guarantee system of "pre-risk prevention + rapid post-event claim settlement" to reassure farmers. A three-dimensional "online + offline" agricultural technical publicity and education matrix has been built, with field management technologies pushed through official WeChat accounts, short videos and WeChat groups. Agricultural technicians are organized to go to the front line, divided into groups to be responsible for towns and streets, and provide "diagnostic" guidance, offering precise policies and answering questions for farmers on key links such as wheat turning green and protected crop management.

In spring ploughing production, the local area also reminds farmers to pay close attention to weather changes, guard against "late spring cold", and do a good job in ditch cleaning, weeding and pest monitoring to prevent problems before they occur. Today, in Changyi's fields, winter wheat is quietly accumulating strength for turning green, agricultural machinery rumbles, and agricultural technicians are busy everywhere, full of spring vitality and production dynamism. The hardworking people of Changyi are seizing the farming season and working solidly, composing a touching movement of spring ploughing on this hopeful fertile land, laying a solid foundation for the annual agricultural harvest.
