CCTV News: In Zigui County, Yichang, Hubei, late-ripening navel oranges have reached the harvest season these days. In the navel orange garden, the golden fruits are riding on "small trains", taking drones, crossing mountains and ridges, and shuttleing through the fields.

In the past two days, in a late-ripening navel orange garden in Yandengbao Village, Guojiaba Town, Zigui County, lush orange trees spread along the mountains, golden fruits hung on the branches, and the "field train" monorail transport aircraft is operating.

The drone mentioned by local villager Zhu Xiaoxin can reach the mountain road directly in just 1 minute.

37-year-old Guo Xingcheng's family has planted more than 30 acres of navel oranges. In 2022, he established an agricultural service company and formed a drone transportation team to help the villagers "liberate their waists and backs" together. Guo Xingcheng calculated the economic account and used drones to provide farmers with "fruit picking + lifting" services. The charge was 20 cents per kilogram, while in the past labor was 25 cents per kilogram, which could save farmers 5 cents per kilogram.

The citrus planting area in Zigui County reaches 400,000 mu, with an annual output exceeding 1 million tons. Once upon a time, the high mountains and steep slopes made transportation a difficult problem and faced safety hazards. Now, the orbital transport aircraft on the ground and the drone in the sky are combined to open up the "last meter" of navel orange transportation. At present, there are 2,200 transportation rails in the county of Zigui, with a total length of 400 kilometers; more than 1,500 certified drone pilots and 680 drones, and drone transportation covers 30% of the county's Orange Garden.

Liaoning Fuxin: "Two wheat and beans" continue to grow, and both harvests in one place increase efficiency

At present, spring wheat sowing in various parts of Liaoning is coming to an end. This year, some regions have promoted the "two wheat and beans" planting model. Zhangwu County, Fuxin City has expanded its scale based on the 500 mu of experimental planting last year, effectively increasing the income of farmers through "one place and two harvests".

In the farmlands in Zhangwu County, Fuxin, Liaoning Province, two large agricultural machinery is sowing spring wheat. This year, many farmers in Zhangwu County advanced the sowing time of spring wheat by 15 days, in order to seize the farming time, sowing soybeans after harvesting wheat in late June and early July. While "one place and two harvests" improve economic benefits, wheat quality can also be improved by extending the sowing period.

The planting model of "two wheat beans" is indispensable to the blessing of new technologies. The liquid mulch applied by farmers to sowed wheat can prevent soil moisture from evaporating, and after automatic degradation, it can also provide nutrients for crops to ensure good wheat emergence rate. At present, spring wheat seeds are coming to an end.
