East China’s Jiangsu province has seized the opportunity since the start of this year to promote the construction of high-standard farmland with a view to ensure stable yields despite drought or excessive rain and laying a solid foundation for high grain yield.
The roar of machines can be heard everywhere in the fields of Daizhuang Village, Tianwang Town, Jurong County.
Several large excavators were seen leveling and transforming farmland. Some workers were seen building canals and some others enhancing the ridges.
Yao Weichao, Secretary of the Party Committee of Daizhuang Village
At present
we are transforming about 380 mu
of paddy fields
For this reason
we have widened the roads
to facilitate mechanical access
and greatly increase work efficiency
In the past
the rice transplanter
planted an average of about 20 to 30 mu
of seedlings every day
After the transformation
we estimate that it will be 50 to 60 mu
The high-standard farmland transformation is expected to further stabilize and improve the overall grain production capacity and ensure food security.
Pingjian Village in Hai'an City is building four integrated intelligent pumping stations to carry out precise irrigation of rice fields through these pipelines.

When completed
the high-standard farmland
integrated intelligent pumping station
can be controlled in real time
through smart phones and computers
which will save about 30% of water
reduce labor costs
and achieve the purpose of water saving
energy saving
efficiency increase and precision irrigation
Fanqun Village, Jiaoxie Town, Hai'an City is building a grain drying center with six installed machines. Upon its completion, the center can guarantee the grain drying operation of 4000 mu of farmland in the village.
Since 2018, Hai’an City has implemented high-standard farmland construction to improve scale management and planting efficiency by building 97 irrigation pumping stations, 156.84 kilometers of channels, 84.99 kilometers of farm machine roads, and 4848 supporting facilities.
