Spring surges forward, and spring farming is in full swing. It is currently the critical season for early rice transplanting. In Zhanxi Town, Taojiang County, Yiyang City, located along the Zishui River in northern Hunan, the 10,000-mu double-cropping rice demonstration area, operated by new-type agricultural business entities such as Hejiaping Rice Planting and Agricultural Mechanization Service Cooperative, presents a bustling and vibrant scene. He Kewen, person in charge of the cooperative, is leading members to seize the farming window and transplant tender green rice seedlings into paddy fields with precision. LOVOL intelligent agricultural machinery gallops across the fertile farmland, laying a solid foundation for a full-year grain harvest.
“Our cooperative has transferred 2,500 mu of farmland, including 1,600 mu for early rice. With a prolonged rainy season this year, we must race against time to finish rice transplanting,” said He Kewen while directing field operations, highlighting the urgency of this year’s spring farming.
On these promising farmlands, He Kewen’s confidence stems from the fertile soil, and more importantly, his powerful fleet of agricultural machinery. Back in 2012, He Kewen teamed up with four young returnees to establish the Hejiaping Rice Planting and Agricultural Mechanization Service Cooperative. Over the past decade and more, the cooperative has focused on socialized agricultural services and built a full-process mechanization system covering seedling raising, land tillage, rice transplanting and grain drying.
Its large-scale and professional production model helps local farmers cut production costs by over 100 yuan per mu while boosting grain output by more than 25 kilograms per mu. Operating in tandem, LOVOL intelligent machines form a complete and efficient paddy field operation solution, serving as a solid pillar for stable grain output and growing farmers’ incomes.
“I fully adopted LOVOL agricultural machinery back in 2012 with a full range of models. It boasts reliable quality and thoughtful after-sales service, and we have never switched to other brands ever since,” He Kewen expressed full trust in LOVOL equipment.
In the paddy fields, LOVOL crawler tractors move nimbly and steadily on wet muddy ground. Their powerful horsepower greatly improves operational efficiency. LOVOL rice transplanters work with precise positioning and standardized row and plant spacing. A single machine can complete transplanting for dozens of mu per day, delivering high efficiency and labor savings.
“This is the second-generation LOVOL rice transplanter. It is more advanced and stable, causing less damage to seedling roots and enabling faster seedling rejuvenation,” He Kewen spoke highly of the new equipment’s performance.
Today, the complete paddy field spring farming solution from Weichai LOVOL has helped the demonstration area become a national model for high-standard farmland construction. From high-quality seeds to robust seedlings, and from single-machine operation to large-scale farming across ten thousand mu, traditional farming is deeply integrated with modern technology. A vivid picture of rural revitalization featuring abundant grain, beautiful scenery and promising future is slowly unfolding along the banks of the Zishui River.
