National agricultural mechanization maintained rapid development in the first half of the year

In the first half of 2011, the country’s agricultural mechanization maintained rapid development. The implementation of the agricultural mechanization policy and the organization of agricultural mechanization production were effective, orderly and effective. The key tasks such as technology promotion, education and training, and supervision and management were steadily advanced. The total agricultural machinery power of the country reached 949 million kilowatts, an increase of 2.33% over the end of 2010, and the level of machine farming, machine seeding, and winter wheat harvest in the spring reached 60%, 39%, and 87.8%, respectively, both up by 2% over the same period of last year. Agricultural mechanization has played a major role in agricultural production, providing strong equipment support for the ploughing of spring plowing, the production of “drought-resistant and spring-protected pipes”, the “three summers” production and the “eight consecutive years” increase in winter wheat.

To highlight the overall responsibility awareness and pay close attention to the implementation of policies to implement agricultural mechanization. The provinces have refined and actualized the development goals, key tasks, and support measures proposed by the State Council’s Opinions on Promoting the Sound and Rapid Development of Agricultural Mechanization and Agricultural Machinery Industry Development in Beijing. , Hebei, Jilin, Anhui, Shandong, Jiangsu, Sichuan, Chongqing, Shaanxi, Gansu and other 10 provincial governments issued implementation opinions. Implementation opinions of Shanxi Province and Xinjiang Autonomous Region have been agreed by the government's main responsible comrades, and other provinces have basically completed their opinions. Preliminary work such as research and drafting, soliciting departmental opinions, etc., will be submitted to the government for consideration and release in the second half of the year. The Ministry of Agriculture has organized the National Plan for the Implementation of Deepening of Agricultural Machinery (2011-2015). The provinces have been pursuing a comprehensive subsidy for agricultural subsidies from the finance department according to the tasks set by the plan. Up till now, the subsidy funds have been implemented in various provinces and municipalities. 10.8 billion yuan, an increase of 680 million over the previous year. The Ministry of Agriculture will take this year as the year for the implementation of the supervision and administration of agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policies. Ministries, cities, and counties have signed a responsibility letter, strengthening the supervision and management system, standardizing operations, and accelerating progress. The central financial subsidies for agricultural machinery purchases have been implemented at 10.48 billion yuan, accounting for 90.4% of the central government's first batch of subsidy funds, and subsidizing 3.5 million sets of agricultural machinery and equipment. The subsidy funds mainly focused on drought-proof, “three summers” and “double grabs” urgently needed agricultural implements, and promoted the adjustment of the equipment structure through subsidies. Larger tractors and the matching of power machinery have a clear trend. Large and medium-sized tractors and supporting agricultural tools are better than 2010. The growth rate was 5.52% and 5.77% respectively. Rice transplanters and grain combine harvesters increased by 21% and 6%. From January to May, sales value of agricultural machinery enterprises above designated size reached 101.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 34.2%.

Emphasis on cross-regional operation of the organization to pay close attention to spring plowing and Sanxia agricultural machinery production The country has invested in more than 22.21 million sets (sets) of agricultural machinery and equipment for machine farmland, pouring wheat, machine broadcast, machine transplanting and other spring mechanized production operations. A total of 7642 service teams for agricultural drought relief work were organized to participate in drought relief work. The total area of ​​drought-tolerant wheat irrigated exceeded 80 million mu, giving full play to the main role of agricultural machinery in drought relief. Newly constructed and continued construction of 126 rice seedlings and mechanization demonstration counties, and the country completed the insertion of more than 87 million mu of early and mid-season rice. We will spare no effort in organizing, managing, coordinating and servicing cross-district operations in Sanxia. The trans-regional aircraft harvest will show “three levels and three increases”, which means that the balance between supply and demand, steady supply of diesel oil, smooth progress of wheat harvest, improved operation level and operation quality. Improvements were made and the organization of the operation was improved. The net income from mobile phone receipts exceeded RMB 10 billion. The harvest rate of winter wheat and the level of corn planting reached new heights, reaching 87.8% and 77%, respectively, which ensured the arrival of summer grain grains and timely harvesting of autumn grain.

Highlighting the upgrading of skill quality and paying close attention to agricultural mechanization education and training continued the major actions of agricultural mechanization education and training. In the first half of the year, a total of 55,000 agricultural machinery training classes were held across the country, and more than 3.2 million agricultural mechanization personnel of various types were trained, including training of agricultural machinery operators. 2.62 million person-times, 580,000 new purchases of farmers were trained, and new levels of application of new technologies such as conservation tillage, spring corn (wheat) planting techniques, repression and protection techniques, rice transplanting and transplanting mechanization techniques, and spring field management mechanization techniques were improved. The National Agricultural Machinery Skills Contest was held to stimulate the enthusiastic skills of hand-to-hand skills compared to skills.

Highlighting the integration of agronomy and agronomy, and focusing on agricultural mechanization technology, we promoted the seminar on agri-cultural integration of agricultural experts and workshop on mechanization of sugar cane production. Agronomy and agglomeration expert groups were successively established in various regions, and agricultural and agro-machinery departments in Anhui, Henan, and Jilin provinces jointly formulated technical guidelines for the integration of agronomy and agronomy. In accordance with the “2011 Main Agricultural Technical Main Technical Manual”, the technical content was refined, technical specifications were improved, and propaganda, training, and on-site guidance were strengthened. The country held a total of 20,000 kinds of on-site meetings for agricultural machinery technologies, accumulatively promoting various types of agricultural machinery. The new technology covers an area of ​​135 million mu, of which 14.8 million mu are protected tillage, 5.8 million mu machinery is deep-soiled, 24.10 million mu of deep-fertilizer technology is applied, and 19.7 million mu of mechanized and efficient plant protection technology have achieved remarkable social and economic benefits. .

Highlight safety and development, pay close attention to agricultural machinery quality supervision and safety supervision to focus on subsidies for machinery, large-scale, agricultural machinery quality complaints and supervision, quality assurance supervision, agricultural machinery quality investigation and key inspections, etc., and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of purchase farmers. Accelerate the construction of legalization of agricultural machinery safety, formulate and issue the “Measures for Handling Agricultural Machinery Accidents” and “Opinions of the Ministry of Agriculture on Strengthening the Emergency Management of Agricultural Machinery Accidents”. In response to an increase in the number of security incidents involving rolling machines, special control measures have been initiated for the safety supervision of facilities and agricultural equipment, and 200,000 copies of safety screens for roller shutters have been issued free of charge for farmers. All localities implemented the responsibility system for agricultural machinery safety, vigorously carried out investigations and troubleshooting of hidden dangers, corrected illegal operations, worked hard to eliminate potential accidents, and prevented agricultural machinery accidents. The situation of safe production of the “three-summer” agricultural machinery remained stable during the spring farming season.

In the second half of the year, the National Agricultural Mechanization System will implement supportive policies such as standardizing the implementation of agricultural machinery purchase subsidies, carefully organizing the “Shuanggra” and “Sanqiu” agricultural machine operations to focus on the weak links, mechanization, promotion of advanced and applicable agricultural mechanization technologies, and focusing on accelerating the level of agricultural machinery and equipment, and operations. Level, scientific and technological level, and service level, and strive to raise the comprehensive mechanization level of farming and harvesting to 54% this year. The rice planting and corn harvest mechanization levels have been raised to 24% and 30% respectively, and the agricultural machinery deep-steamed area has reached 148 million mu.
