In the cotton field of Dongdi Village, Santai Town, Jimsar County, cotton peaches are full of branches and blooming, spitting out white flocculents, outlining a picture of "happiness" driven by the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside driven by the agricultural industry. Wang Yongjun, a cotton farmer from Manas, saw the light and heat conditions in Jimsar County and planted cotton in Santai Town with other cooperative members through land transfer. At the same time, Wang Yongjun also signed an order-type contract with Hutubi Ginner, and applied the precision machine cotton picking technology of Beidou satellite navigation system to realize the whole process of mechanized cotton operation from planting, management and harvesting.
Looking at the "golden eggs" spit out from the cotton picker, Wang Yongjun said happily: "This year, I have planted more than 13,000 acres of cotton, which has been well managed in the early stage, and is currently growing well, with an average yield of more than 400 kilograms, and this year is a bumper harvest." The whole process of cotton harvesting is mechanical, and it only takes more than 20 minutes to pick an egg of more than two tons, and the cooperative began to harvest cotton on September 25, and it is expected that on October 20, all cotton will be harvested. ”

With the continuous improvement of the scientific and mechanized level of cotton planting, the "machine picking" planting mode with fast progress and low cost has become the primary choice of cotton farmers, which not only liberates labor but also saves costs. When cotton is harvested, it can be packed while harvesting, and the cotton is automatically compressed into a large cotton bale of about two tons, and the cotton machine picking rate reaches 100%, and the net picking rate is as high as 95%.
Zhao Quanfeng, the driver of the cotton picker, said: "Our cotton picker model is CP690 cotton picker, this cotton picker picks flowers with a particularly high efficiency, one day can harvest about 500 acres of cotton, more than 10,000 acres of cotton can be harvested in more than 20 days, this year's mechanical collection fee is about 200 yuan per mu, and our income is also good throughout the flowering season." ”

In order to ensure that the bumper harvest of cotton is returned to the warehouse, the relevant local departments go into the field to help growers solve technical problems and coordinate harvesting machinery and vehicles, and make every effort to do a good job in the harvesting, transportation and delivery of new cotton, so as to escort the harvesting work of farmers.
"This year, a total of 20,000 acres of cotton have been planted in Santai Town, and it has now entered the harvesting stage. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the mechanized harvesting of cotton, we actively coordinate machinery and equipment, transport vehicles, strictly control the quality of operations and the safety of agricultural machinery operations, and it is expected that the cotton harvesting work will be fully completed by the end of October, so as to realize the return of cotton to the warehouse and a bumper harvest. Li Mancheng, deputy mayor of Santai Town, Jimsar County, said.
In recent years, Jimsar County has continuously deepened the structural reform of the agricultural supply side, adopted the industrialized business model of "enterprise + cooperative + base + farmer", and improved the quality and yield of cotton through a number of measures and the application of science and technology, such as "dry sowing and wet production", precise fertilization, scientific regulation and control, and water-saving agriculture. Promote large-scale planting, intensive management and industrialized development of cotton, and help cotton farmers increase production and income.
