In the Third Company of the 51st Regiment In a piece of high-standard farmland of more than 300 acres, accompanied by the rumbling sound of machines, several large-scale cotton pickers with independent intellectual property rights in my country shuttled back and forth in the cotton field, quickly detaching cotton from the cotton stalks, and pushing the cotton to storage through airflow. car. This domestically produced cotton picker with independent intellectual property rights integrates the functions of harvesting, cotton stalk separation, and packaging. One machine can complete the harvesting work of 200 acres of land every day, and can spit out a piece of cotton weighing 200 grams every 20 minutes on average. Compared with manual picking, the large cotton bales of about a ton not only greatly improve the picking efficiency, but also save time and effort, and the price is also more advantageous.

Now all harvesting is mechanized, which is more convenient than manual picking before, and the cost is also much lower than before. In the past, the cost of manually picking one acre of land was less than 800-900 yuan, and the cost of machine harvesting is only about 200 yuan per mu of land, and now machine harvesting is also clean.” said Zhang Daxiong, a cotton grower in Sanlian, 51st Regiment.
