"Internet + Agriculture" Big Data Opens a New Era of Smart Agriculture in Shanxi

During the summer harvest this year, Zhao Bin, a villager in Xiaoshi Village, Nantang Township, Yicheng County, no longer has to worry about finding agricultural machinery. He can book tractors and land plowing time by sitting at home and turning on his mobile phone.

What provides Zhao Bin with convenience is a new agricultural machinery software that is being promoted and used by the Yicheng County Agricultural Machinery Center. Farmers who have installed this software can use their mobile phones to find nearby agricultural machinery operators anytime and anywhere. After negotiating a price and agreeing on a time, the agricultural machinery operators will come to farm on time.

Today, "Internet +" has subverted traditional agriculture. Agricultural big data is applied to all aspects of plowing, sowing, fertilizing, insecticide, and harvesting, including land information data, meteorological data, soil water, crop information data, crop growth data, etc. The wave of agricultural high-tech has arrived, and big data will open a new era of smart agriculture in Shanxi.

Farmers can observe the real scene and relevant data in the fields without leaving home. The picture shows a smart greenhouse.

Monitor product growth environment

Just imagine, if farmers can grasp weather change data, market supply and demand data, etc. at any time, farmer friends and agricultural technology experts can observe the real scene and relevant data in the fields without leaving home, and accurately judge whether crops should be fertilized, watered, or sprayed with pesticides. Not only can it avoid yield decline caused by natural factors, but it can also avoid economic losses to farmers caused by imbalances in market supply and demand. Government departments, scientific research institutions, and enterprises are all aware of the opportunities brought by the whirlwind of big data, and have begun to promote the cross-application of big data in the agricultural field.

With just a click of the mouse or sending a text message, a greenhouse thousands of miles away can spontaneously adjust temperature, humidity and other parameter conditions. In the past, people would have found it incredible. The facility agricultural greenhouse independently developed by Taiyuan University of Technology automatically The adaptive control system makes all this a reality and opens the era of precision control in facility agriculture.

This system can detect 9 environmental indicators. Through the sensors installed in the greenhouse, it transmits information such as greenhouse air, soil, water and light to the control cabinet. After computer analysis and processing, it can realize automatic adjustment and automatically irrigate, fertilize and fertilize crops. Fill light, etc.Remote control is realized based on the Internet, making agriculture more fashionable. According to Song Jiancheng, dean of the School of Electrical and Power Engineering at Taiyuan University of Technology, if there is insufficient light in the greenhouse, its light filler can be remotely controlled through text messages. Send a text message and the light filler will be able to receive it in three to four seconds. to information and start working.

At the Green Protection Planting Base in Xiaodian District, Taiyuan City, Liu Zhifeng, a farmer at the base, installed this system in a flower greenhouse at his home. The biggest feeling is that the cost of hiring labor has been reduced. Master Liu did some calculations. In the past, a greenhouse needed to hire five people to take care of it. But now with this intelligent control system, he can do it all by himself. In one year, he saved 120,000 yuan in labor expenses, and a set of The market price of the equipment is 60,000 yuan, which means it can be repaid in half a year.

Liu Zhifeng said that after using this set of automated management, the overall light, temperature and humidity of the flower cellar were adjusted more accurately, the color was brighter, the crown diameter was much larger than before, and each pot could be sold for two more than before. Three dollars.

In the era of big data, we can not only regulate agricultural production by establishing a comprehensive data platform, but also record and analyze the dynamic changes in the agricultural planting and breeding process and the circulation of agricultural products. By analyzing data and combining experience, we can formulate a series of regulatory and management measures. Enable efficient and orderly development of agriculture.

Achieve a balance between supply and demand in the agricultural product market

We often see or hear news about farmers’ agricultural products being unsalable, fruits and vegetables being sold cheaply or rotting in the fields. There are also farces of “garlic, you are cruel”, “ginger, you are army”, and “beans, you are playing”. Agricultural big data can aggregate data in the agricultural production process to achieve "balance between supply and demand."

In two days, orders exceeded 10 million yuan. This is the "miracle" created by the Nankai University student entrepreneurial team "Farming Dreams Come True" to help Linxian sell jujubes. Because of the slow sales, local farmers had no choice but to feed the jujubes to their livestock, or even let the jujubes rot directly on the trees. The "Farming Dreams Come True" team makes the dreams of Linxian farmers come true through online marketing.

The "Emergency Aid to Old Mountain Farmers: Prevent Mountain Farmers from Feeding Red Dates to Cattle and Sheep" launched on the team's official account attracted public attention and achieved very good attention and sales orders.

"Because I am a child from the countryside, I have a special emotion for everything in the countryside." Peng Jun, the leader of the "Farming Dreams Come True" team, said: "The village we walked through originally had a population of six to seven hundred people. , now there are only 123 people left, and a large number of laborers are outflowing, and it is difficult for the elderly to promote such a product well. So at that time, we wanted to help them solve this problem in this way.

Not only that, through big data data collection, we can find out where the market demand is high, so we can contact sellers as early as possible to sell agricultural products to the area where they are located. Moreover, consumer demand reports can be collected in advance through the big data platform, market analysis can be conducted, production can be planned in advance, and production risks can be reduced.

In deploying agricultural supply-side structural reforms, Minister of Agriculture Han Changfu emphasized that we should focus on developing e-commerce to improve the efficiency of agricultural product circulation, and regard the development of agricultural product e-commerce as a way to promote agricultural marketization, force standardization, promote scale, and improve An important measure for branding, the Internet and other modern information technologies are used to promote the transformation and upgrading of agriculture and realize "Internet +" modern agriculture.

Promote the development of the entire agricultural industry chain

Shanxi Nonggu, a characteristic modern agricultural masterpiece created by Internet of Things technology, is a key project in Shanxi Province. It will build "one city, three parks and five districts" in a county-wide, all-factor, and all-industry manner.

✔one city, that is, building Shanxi Nonggu Science and Technology Innovation City with Shanxi Agricultural University as the core;

✔Sanyuan, namely the high-tech industry incubator park, the specialty agricultural product processing and trading park and the northern forest and fruit science and technology park;

✔District Five, namely the red date seedling characteristic industry promotion demonstration area, the green breeding industry promotion demonstration area, the facility agriculture promotion demonstration area, the biotechnology promotion demonstration area and the rural industry integrated development demonstration area.

In the future, "Shanxi Agricultural Valley" will become an important engine for the development of modern agriculture in the province and even the country.
