Zhijiang City successfully held an experimental demonstration of potato production mechanization technology.

On the morning of December 30, 2015, a Hongzhu potato planter ran happily in the fields of Shaqiuping Village, Gujiadian Town, and soon a piece of farmland was covered with "silver makeup." It turns out that this is the potato machinery sowing site being carried out by the Gu Feng Agricultural Professional Cooperative in Gujiadian Town.

In 2015, Zhijiang City increased the adjustment of agricultural structure, taking potato as one of the important food crops in the city, and the city plans to sow 50,000 mu. In order to cooperate with potato planting in the whole city, Zhijiang Agricultural Machinery Bureau introduced a Hongzhu brand potato planter to test and demonstrate in the second group of Shaqiuping Village, Gujiadian Town. Liu Mingdong, director of Yichang Agricultural Machinery Bureau, Huang Changxian, deputy director, and Peng Chuanquan, director of Yichang Agricultural Machinery extension Station, came to the scene for guidance.

Liu Hongan, director of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau of Zhijiang City, said: according to the development of agricultural mechanization in the city, farmers will plant more crops with a high level of mechanization. In Zhijiang City, rice, wheat and corn have been mechanized, and cotton mechanization has broken through the bottleneck of key machine harvesting technology. now the introduction of potato sowing and harvesting machinery will inevitably promote the improvement of potato mechanization level. the potato planting area of the whole city is bound to increase by a large margin.
