For The First Time In Xinjiang, Some Of The Regiments Did Not Hire "Pick Up Workers" For The First Time.

From the five divisions of the Xinjiang production and Construction Corps, it was learned that the 81 regiment of the five divisions of agriculture this year started a historical precedent. The first time to lay off the "picking flower workers" was to adopt mechanical cotton picking, and the whole group was 90 thousand mu. cotton field There is no "pick up worker".

Li Xinjiang, the discipline inspection clerk of the 81 regiment of the Xinjiang production and Construction Corps, said that the 81 group was planting 90 thousand acres of cotton this year. Because of the shortage of migrant workers this year, the labor price is high. From the beginning of September, they vigorously promoted the development of cotton picking at the grass-roots level. At the same time, 100% of the machine picked cotton fields were sprayed off after September 15th. In the aspect of cotton picking quality, the requirements for picking cotton locomotives are good, no interlacing, no leakage, and the speed is moderate, and the net rate has been measured above 90%.

Li Xinjiang said that this year cotton has a bumper harvest to shorten. Picking up cotton During the cycle, the 81 regiment did not hire a pick up worker this year, and all the machines were implemented. They arranged 22 cotton pickers this year, and each cotton picker harvested about 150 mu per day, saving 400 yuan per mu.

Similarly, in the 149 regiment of the six Division of agriculture, 8 acres of machine picked cotton planted by Li Kun and 8 employees began to harvest. Only a half day was used, and the more than 100 mu of cotton planted by him was harvested. Li Kun happily told the reporter: "use this machine to pick cotton and finish here. This way, after pulling out the package, it will save more energy. In half a day, my harvest will end. If I pick up a flower this year to reach 2 yuan a kilogram, I use machine to pick cotton per kilogram of cotton for only one yuan per kilogram. cotton I have to save a dollar. If I pick up 38 tons of land, I will use artificial labor to pick up one yuan per kilogram, tens of thousands of dollars to go in, use cotton picking machine, light cost will save more than 30 thousand yuan RMB, and shorten the time.

Reporters learned that this year, the 149 regiment 17 agricultural companies did not hire a pick up worker from the mainland, and the 100% planting machine harvested cotton could save workers at least 60 million yuan.

Li Xinjiang introduced that a single cotton picker could harvest 150 mu to 200 mu per day. At the rush hour, a cotton picker harvested more than 40 thousand kilograms of cotton seeds per day, which was equivalent to 1000 workers' day labor. In recent years, with the increasing price of artificial picking cotton and increasing production costs, Xinjiang production and Construction Corps has increased the intensity of mechanical cotton picking to reduce risks, greatly reducing the harvest season and improving labor productivity.

Xinjiang production and Construction Corps annual output of cotton accounts for about China 1/6 of this year, the Corps has grown 7 million 600 thousand mu of cotton and is expected to produce 1 million 150 thousand tons of lint. Owing to the popularization of mechanized picking technology, the number of imported flower pickers has been reduced from 700 thousand to three people 400 thousand years ago.
