Escort the Cotton Combine Harvester Efficient Development

Recently, in order to ensure the smooth harvest of more than 100000 acres of cotton combine harvester in the city, the Agricultural Machinery Service Center has launched the "5+2" and "white+black" convenient service models, working overtime to handle registration procedures for six newly purchased cotton combine harvester for farmers and agricultural production organizations, and quickly completing on-site verification and publicity procedures for subsidized machinery, promoting the financial department to pay 2.4 million RMB in purchase and application subsidies for six cotton picking machines, and supporting agricultural production in the "Three Autumn" period.

Machine picked cotton is an agricultural production method that replaces manual cotton picking with mechanical cotton picking equipment. It is a necessary path to promote agricultural modernization and respond to international market challenges. Promoting machine harvesting technology can reduce the labor intensity of cotton harvesters, alleviate the shortage of labor during the picking period, effectively reduce cotton production costs, and promote the development of agricultural industrialization. In recent years, Dunhuang City has vigorously developed the machine harvesting cotton industry to address the problems of high labor requirements, high labor costs, high production costs, and low economic benefits of traditional cotton planting methods, with significant results. The planting area of machine harvested cotton in the city has been expanding year by year, and it is expected to reach 100000 mu by 2025. The Dunhuang Agricultural Machinery Service Center has implemented subsidy policies for the purchase and application of agricultural machinery, guiding farmers and agricultural production organizations to continuously increase the number of cotton picking machines to meet market demand. Currently, the city has 17 cotton picking machines.
