Chapter 256: Deep Integration of Agricultural Machinery and Rural Revitalization

While Guangming Factory is actively involved in global agricultural development affairs, Wang Dashan has also turned his attention back to the country's rural revitalization strategy.

He is well aware that the development of agricultural machinery must not only shine on the international stage, but also become a key force in promoting the domestic rural economy and realizing agricultural modernization transformation.

On this day, Wang Dashan returned to his hometown - a typical Chinese rural village called Qingshan Village.

The fields in the village are endless, but the agricultural production methods are still relatively traditional.

Wang Dashan, along with the factory's technical backbones, conducted a careful inspection on the ridges of the village fields.

Uncle Li, the village party secretary, came over and shook Wang Dashan's hand excitedly, saying, "Dashan, you're finally back! Our village has been looking forward to new development opportunities. You've done so well in agricultural machinery out there, but you can't forget our fellow villagers back home."

Wang Dashan smiled and said, "Uncle Li, I came back this time to see how to combine our factory's agricultural machinery with the development of our village to make everyone's life better. Look at the fields in our village. Although the area is not small, the farming efficiency is not high. Many young people have gone out to work, and the old people left behind are finding it increasingly difficult to farm."

Uncle Li sighed and said, "Yes, now most of the people who farm in the village are old people like me. The children don't want to come back, saying that farming has no future. We also know that agricultural machinery is good, but there are not many decent machines in the village, and even if there are, no one will use them."

Wang Dashan nodded, turned to the technical backbones and said, "We must first understand the actual needs of the village and see which agricultural machinery is most suitable for the terrain and planting patterns here. Then, we need to organize training so that the villagers can learn how to operate and maintain these machines."

Technical backbone Xiao Chen said: "Director Wang, I think we can start with simple and easy-to-use small agricultural machinery, such as small tractors, seeders and harvesters. These machines are relatively easy to operate and the price is relatively affordable. We can start with a pilot project in the village to let the villagers see the benefits of agricultural machinery."

Wang Dashan agreed: "Xiao Chen's idea is good. However, we still have to consider the village's infrastructure construction. For example, the storage and maintenance sites for agricultural machinery, as well as the supply of fuel."

At this time, Uncle Zhang, the old accountant in the village, came over and said, "Dashan, there is an abandoned warehouse in our village. After a little repair, it should be able to be used to store farm machinery. As for the fuel supply, there is a small gas station in the village, but I don't know if it can meet the needs of farm machinery."

Wang Dashan thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Zhang, we can go and see the warehouse first to assess the feasibility of the renovation. Regarding the fuel supply, we can discuss with the owner of the gas station to see if we need to add some fuel storage equipment or adjust the type of fuel to suit the use of agricultural machinery."

After inspecting the fields and warehouses, Wang Dashan organized a villagers' meeting.

At the meeting, he introduced in detail the advantages and usage of agricultural machinery.

A young villager named Xiao Wang asked, "Director Wang, are these farm machines expensive to buy? We don't have much money."

Wang Dashan replied: "Xiao Wang, considering everyone's economic situation, we will launch some leasing plans. In this way, everyone can rent agricultural machinery during the busy farming season without spending a lot of money to buy it all at once. In addition, we will communicate with government departments and financial institutions to strive for some subsidies and low-interest loan policies so that everyone can afford agricultural machinery."

Another villager, Aunt Zhao, said worriedly: "I am old. Can I learn to use these machines? Will they be complicated?"

Wang Dashan smiled and comforted her: "Aunt Zhao, don't worry. We will arrange professional technicians to come to the village for training and teach everyone how to operate them. These agricultural machines are carefully designed and easy to operate. As long as you study hard, you will definitely be able to learn them."

With the promotion of Guangming Factory, the agricultural machinery pilot project in Qingshan Village was quickly launched.

The factory's technicians are busy debugging and training agricultural machinery in the village.

After a period of practice, the agricultural production efficiency in the village has been significantly improved.

The sowing task that originally took several days to complete can now be completed in just a few hours; during harvesting, harvesters shuttle through the fields, greatly reducing the labor intensity of the villagers.

Smiles gradually appeared on the villagers' faces, and their attitude towards agricultural machinery also changed.

Some young people working outside heard about the changes in the village and began to consider returning to their hometown for development.

Wang Dashan was very pleased to see these changes.

He said to Uncle Li: "Uncle Li, this is just the beginning. We need to further improve the village's agricultural industry chain, not just farming and harvesting, but also developing agricultural product processing, warehousing and logistics. Only in this way can we truly achieve rural revitalization."

Uncle Li nodded repeatedly: "Dashan, you are really a great benefactor of our village. With you here, we believe that the future of the village will definitely get better and better."

Wang Dashan began to think about how to promote the experience of Qingshan Village to more rural areas.

He is well aware that China has many villages and the conditions in different places vary greatly. There is still a long way to go to achieve the full integration of agricultural machinery and rural revitalization.

At a seminar on the agricultural machinery industry, Wang Dashan shared the case of Qingshan Village.

A representative of an agricultural enterprise from other regions asked: "Director Wang, what was the biggest difficulty you encountered in the pilot project in Qingshan Village? How did you solve it?"

Wang Dashan replied: "The biggest difficulty is the villagers' acceptance of new things and technical training. Through patient publicity and demonstration, as well as one-on-one training, we gradually made the villagers trust and accept agricultural machinery. In addition, cooperation with local governments and financial institutions is also very important. Their support has guaranteed the smooth implementation of the project."

Another representative asked: "What aspects do you think need to be paid attention to when promoting it to other regions?"

Wang Dashan pondered for a moment and said: "First of all, we need to have a deep understanding of the local agricultural production characteristics, topography, farmers' economic conditions and cultural customs. We cannot adopt a one-size-fits-all approach, but need to develop personalized plans based on the conditions of different regions. Secondly, we need to establish a complete after-sales service system to ensure that problems that arise during the use of agricultural machinery can be solved in a timely manner. Finally, we must also focus on the coordinated development with the local agricultural industry, form a complete industrial chain, and increase the added value of agriculture."

With the successful application of agricultural machinery in Qingshan Village, Wang Dashan led his team to other rural areas for inspection and research, planning a blueprint for the revitalization and development of more villages.

He knows very well that this is a heavy responsibility and the only way to achieve agricultural modernization and rural prosperity.
