Taizhou Farmers Renovate Dryers to Save Costs

Summer is now the summer season, and it is also when hot weather continues to develop. The agricultural labor force is particularly tight and wages are rising. How to overcome the rising labor costs and guarantee the economic benefits of grain production has always been a headache for large grain producers. Yang Dengcong, a “farmer actuary” in Baishuli Village, Zhang’an Street, has made a surprise move. By carrying out a small technical transformation of agricultural machinery, he can save more than 40 laborers and save at least 170,000 yuan a year.

On the morning of August 4, the reporter went to the Taizhou Huimin Agricultural Machinery Service Cooperative in the Baishali Village of Zhang’an Street. They saw two operators harvesting rice in the paddy fields. After harvesting, the millet went straight into the tractor along a chimney-like tube. In the barn. After the tractor was opened to the drying base, a member opened the door and the millet leaked into a groove, then passed through a conveyor belt conveyor and entered four dryers for drying. The whole process of harvesting, hauling, and drying was completed at one go. However, only four people were involved in the entire process, which was very different from the past.

Yang Dengcong told reporters that in the past, at least a dozen people were required to harvest rice. One person operated a harvester and one person sat in the copilot's paddy field. In addition, many people needed back sacks to move the millet to the car. Now with the new harvester, the millet is directly loaded into the tractor through the “chimney” and only two people are enough. During the drying process, in the past, after the tractor was returned, it was necessary to manually remove a sack of rice and then pour it into a drying warehouse. After drying, it had to be manually bagged and then moved to the grain station for sale. "Rice now can be directly drained from the car into the groove, and then automatically enter the dryer along the elevator, a person can operate the machine can be completed." Yang Dengcong said that the current drying center 2 people went in the past The work of 12 individuals saved more than 20 laborers in the first half of the year and most of the work was replaced by machines.

How did this happen? Yang Dengcong said: "This is thanks to my small technological change. In April of this year, I called over the manufacturers of dryers and asked them to follow my thinking. A small modification was made to the dryer, and hoists, filters, screening machines, conveyor belts and other devices were installed on the original machine.” Yang Dengcong told reporters that this idea benefited from his visit to Shandong last year. At that time, he saw a special type of dryer that did not require manual bagging. He dried wheat to save money and effort. He thought that since baking wheat can do this, it should be possible to dry rice, so he carefully studied the entire structure. Many times, at the same time consulting manufacturers to transform technology, decided to try this year. After the early rice planted this year, Yang Dengcong began to reform the machine to use the new dryer for harvesting early rice. As for the new harvester, the local market has existed for the first two years, but there is no new type of dryer.

It is reported that Yang Dengcong planted 930 acres of early rice this year, 1300 acres of late rice, he calculated an economic account, according to the past, light labor costs will have to spend 150,000 yuan, in addition to buying woven bags still need 20,000 yuan. “The wages of workers are rising every year, and the workers are still not easy to find. If it is not technically reformed, it will be difficult to guarantee profits.” Yang Dengcong said with joy: “This technical reform has spent 200,000 yuan, but in the first half of next year, It can be recovered and this investment is quite cost-effective.
