Driving the equipment up the mountain mud as hand cream: A Story of a 80s Female Agricultural Mechanist's Grain Planting Machine | Manager | Agricultural Mechanist
Summer is the best season for planting. In the fields of hope, there are many agricultural machinery workers. Sun Hong, a female agricultural machinery worker from Xiuwen County, Guizhou, understands technology and loves agriculture, becoming a beautiful scenery in the fields.
In Xiuwen County, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, there are layers of high standard mountainous fields with undulating terrain, and a large number of mechanized equipment shuttles through the fields. Sun Hong, a female agricultural mechanic, skillfully operates a rice transplanter loaded with seedling trays in the field.
Sun Hong, the person in charge of Guizhou Chunhai Agricultural Machinery Service Farmers Professional Cooperative: This is called a high-speed riding bowl seedling transplanting machine, which adopts three stages of pushing, delivering, and inserting for planting. This machine is currently in Guizhou, and the transplanting effect is quite good.
Sun Hong, born in the 1980s, has worked in passenger vehicle services and also worked as a clothing salesperson. As most young people in the village chose to go out to work, more and more abandoned land became available. In 2010, Sun Hong had a bold idea - to drive mechanical equipment up the mountain to work. Subsequently, she obtained a driving license for agricultural machinery. Now, after 13 years of persistence, Sun Hong has become a new farmer rooted in the land and truly "understands" agricultural machinery.
Sun Hong, the person in charge of Guizhou Chunhai Agricultural Machinery Service Farmers Professional Cooperative: The terrain, landforms, and fields in Guizhou are different from those in other provinces. The fields in other provinces are relatively large, while the fields in our area are relatively small. Carpet shaped rice transplanters can plant 3-5 acres per hour in other provinces, but in our area, they can only plant over 2 acres per hour. The transportation time is too long and the operation time is too short. For some areas in Guizhou where the land is less than one acre and there are five to six parts of the land, a three wheeled four row transplanting machine is adopted. It can turn around in place, even if the soil is small, it is practical, and its practicality is particularly high.
Just after planting the seedlings, Sun Hong quickly arrived at another field and drove a tractor to start plowing. She sometimes envies others who can apply exquisite nail polish, but she can only use mud as hand cream. But as soon as Sun Hong thought about these mechanized equipment, which could save costs, increase efficiency, and benefit the people, he persisted.
Sun Hong, the person in charge of Guizhou Chunhai Agricultural Machinery Service Farmers Professional Cooperative: The machines are still very easy to operate, but when we encounter difficulties, repair machines, or get stuck in the field, we still feel uncomfortable in our hearts. In terms of maintenance, basic tasks such as replacing blades and tightening screws, and daily maintenance needs to be done by oneself.
In 2020, Sun Hong established the Agricultural Machinery Service Farmers Professional Cooperative. Everyone gathered together to transform machines and develop equipment, hoping to make modern agriculture better and better.
Sun Hong, the head of Guizhou Chunhai Agricultural Machinery Service Farmers Professional Cooperative, said: Our entire cooperative is relatively youthful. Although we come from different industries and ages, we are united and work together to succeed.
