Li Ting tests water content of corns with an instrument in Taizhao Village of Nanzhang Town in Yuncheng, north China's Shanxi Province, Sept. 20, 2020. Li Ting, a grower in Taizhao Village, has fields of wheat, corn and Chinese medicine herbs, with a total area of over 240 mu (16 hectares). In Li's memory, farming was laborious as it requires great labor work, and people had to mainly rely on man-made tools like plows and wooden pitchfork. Li's father used to work in an agricultural machinery cooperative, and Li Ting witnessed the convenience brought by agricultural mechanization. He started an agricultural machinery cooperative jointly run with villagers. Over 100 agricultural machines and tools have been introduced, and the cooperative updates its storage based on villagers' needs. As new technologies such as GPS, UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) and harvester have been integrated into agricultural production, once spending all year and great efforts raising crops, farmers have been equipped with new technology and improved efficiency, Li said.
