Technology helps Chinese farmers to harvest and plant

Chinese farmers have adopted advanced technology to help their summer harvest, planting and field management, ensuring a high yield and bumper harvest. 

Skilled agricultural technicians in Anhui Province use mobile phones to control the route of unmanned harvesters, while in a wheat field in Shandong Province, two unmanned wheat harvesters equipped with yield measurement software work efficiently. The command center uses a smart agricultural management platform, satellite remote sensing, unmanned aerial vehicles, sensors and other technologies to monitor data. This year, more than 650,000 combine harvesters were put into wheat harvesting, up 40 percent from last year.
