It was the late rice harvest season. In previous years, many farmers had to worry about lack of drying fields, rising labor costs, and rotten rice caused by the rainy season. At present, 80% of the city's late rice is dried by a dryer, and this figure will reach the highest value in history.

Recently, the reporter went to the large grain drying equipment room located at Yuantian Family Farm in Mayu, and saw only nine giants roaring. Xiang Baorong, the head of the farm, was busy pouring rice into the funnel, and he soon fell. Into the rice was "please" a deep iron luggage. "The grain is poured into the unloading hopper, and the machine will automatically run through the underground warehouse and lift the warehouse, clear the trash and automatically adjust the drying time." Lao Xiang said that after more than 10 hours, Huang Cancan's dry rice will be erected from another. The metal canisters flow out of the bowl and are sent directly to the finishing center through the assembly line to be processed into white flowers.

Compared to manual sun drying, grain dryers cost less. "Artificial sun drying costs about 0.3 yuan per kilogram, and the dryer costs only 0.1 yuan per kilogram, in my farm, if you do not account for the cost of the purchase dryer, you can save 200,000 yuan in late season rice." Xiang Baorong said, drying Dry machines can also avoid the loss of mildew caused by rice, and save the drying field.

Yuantian family farms have contracted more than 3,000 mu of farmland this year and can harvest more than 1 million kg of rice. Tan Baorong, who tasted the sweetness of a large grain dryer, has already invested more than RMB 1 million to purchase 9 large-scale grain dryers and built a large grain drying equipment room. Xiang Baorong said that all the 9 equipments in the engine room are now started, and 90,000 kilograms of grain can be dried in one day. The grain of the farm can be dried in half a month, and it can also help the neighboring farmers to dry them. One month later, At least 2 million kilograms can be dried.

“Dryers have become a 'rigid demand' for farmers.” Chen Xiaohua, the city’s agricultural machinery terminal, said that in the past, dryers have received limited attention compared to mainstream models such as tractors, combine harvesters and rice transplanters. In 2010, there were only 17 grain dryers in the city. However, in recent years, the growth trend of dryers has been good. As of this fall, the city's grain dryers have reached 280 units, and the amount of drying accounts for 80% of the area of ​​late rice. It will not only increase the income of farmers, but also improve the quality and safety of agricultural products.

It is understood that the city's agricultural machinery and food sector has given strong support in terms of machine selection, technical services, and financing, and this year's dryer subsidies have reached 70%.
