    Recently, in Lilouzhai Village, Jinxiang County, Shandong Province, the village party branch secretary Li Xiugang is racing against time with the villagers these days, seizing the opportunity to plant garlic in autumn. Different from previous years, there are no garlic farmers squatting and planting on the land in Lilouzhai Village this year. Instead, the noise of the garlic planter's motor is replaced.

    "Manually planting garlic requires at least 300 yuan per mu of land. This year, the cost of planting garlic by machine is only 180 yuan per mu, which saves nearly half from planting this piece. In addition, the government also provides a subsidy of 69 yuan. If you use machinery throughout the harvest, you can reduce the cost by at least 200 yuan per mu of land." When someone asks about the benefits of mechanized garlic planting, Li Xiugang always smiles and calculates his economic account.

    As the largest garlic production area in my country, Shandong has planted more than 3 million mu of garlic every year in recent years, accounting for more than 1/3 of the national planting area. The annual garlic planting area in Jinxiang County reaches 600,000 mu. "Jinxiang Garlic" is the most well-known garlic brand in my country. Its products are exported to more than 160 countries and regions in the world. The total export volume accounts for more than 70% of the country's total. The export of single agricultural products earns foreign exchange. First in the country, it won the reputation of "World Garlic Sees China, Chinese Garlic Sees Jinxiang".

    Garlic is delicious, but the planting process is very difficult. "For garlic planting, you need to plant garlic one by one into the ground. About 30,000 garlic seeds are planted in an acre of land. You need a garlic farmer to squat down and press 30,000 times. My waist is sore and my legs hurt. I don't want to move." A garlic farmer recalled the hardship of growing garlic.

    The predicament troubles garlic farmers, and even more troubles the local government. Shen Zhongjie, director of the Agricultural Machinery Center of Jinxiang County, introduced that in 2017, the former Shandong Provincial Agricultural Machinery Bureau initiated the implementation of the agricultural machinery equipment research and development innovation project, and arranged 7.5 million yuan of funds to help the garlic machinery research and development. At that time, Maria Company, a local Jinxiang company dedicated to promoting the mechanization of garlic production, produced a garlic sprout planter after years of research and development. Garlic farmers only need to pour garlic seeds into the machine and then drive the machine to plant.

    "It can grow more than 20 acres of garlic every day, which is more than 40 times higher than the artificial efficiency. Moreover, the sowing rate of positive buds is more than 90%, and the missed seeding rate is less than 1%. Moreover, it integrates rotary tillage, sowing, covering and leveling. One body, the budding effect is particularly good." said Xin Li, general manager of the company.

    Starting from 2018, Shandong has included garlic planters in the scope of the new agricultural machinery subsidy pilot program, and will provide key subsidies at 30% of the sales price. It has promoted 1,100 garlic planters. Jining Agricultural Machinery Development and Promotion Center established the project to implement the "Jinxiang County Garlic Production Whole-process Mechanization Innovation Demonstration Project", with a total investment of more than 5.3 million yuan, completed the construction of a demonstration area of 1,300 acres, and established 3 garlic full-process mechanization demonstration bases, which summarized the entire garlic production process The mechanization technology route, radiation drives the garlic machine harvesting and machine sowing to 10,000 mu.

    Zhang Xiaohu of Gaohetun Village is the stationmaster of the local agricultural machinery cooperation site and the first group of villagers in Jinxiang to use garlic mechanized sowing. In 2019, Zhang Xiaohu couldn't bear the involvement of his parents, so he gave up his job in the city and went home to help his parents grow garlic. Through understanding and the courage to accept new things, he was optimistic about the efficiency of garlic mechanical sowing. The first batch of them joined the Maria Village Communication Platform. Purchased garlic sprout planter for operation service.

    Nowadays, more and more garlic farmers are beginning to approve of garlic mechanical sowing. Speaking of the prospects for the full mechanization of garlic, Shen Zhongjie is very confident: "The number of cooperative sites in Maria Village has reached 619, distributed in more than a dozen villages and towns across the county. This year, the area of garlic planting will exceed 100,000 mu. I believe we will see it next year. In the harvest, more garlic farmers will join the platform of Cun Cun Tong."
