Reborn multinational giant

Xinjiang Province, located in the northwest of China, is China's largest cotton-producing province, and its cotton production accounts for more than 80% of the country's cotton output.

The entire area of cotton planted in Xinjiang province is more than 30 million mu.

During this period, cotton farmers will apply defoliants to the cotton through manual or mechanical medication to help the cotton ripen better and spit out the cotton.

However, there are many problems with both manual and mechanical dosing.

Manual medication, time-consuming and inefficient, for some large cotton growers, the cost of hiring someone to do the medication is not low.

Tractor mechanical medication, although faster than manual a lot, but the tractor ran in the cotton field, overwhelming a small number of bad cotton.

The good news is that this year, cotton farmers have another option, plant protection drones for medication!

In the upper reservoir area of Bostan village, Awati district, Xin province, Güman Kadeer stood with four or five villagers in his cotton field, watching a young drone flyer in the middle, operating the drone to administer medicine to his cotton field.

The drone is operated by a pilot from Shihezi, Wu Xiongfei.

Since the end of August, the new province's cotton entered the defoliation period, Wu Xiongfei has been running several counties and cities with the DJI MG-1 plant protection drone he just bought this year.

In the past month, Wu Xiongfei has used the drone to fight more than 3,000 mu of land, and his income has been nearly 40,000 yuan.

A month's income of nearly 40,000 yuan, which was unimaginable before Wu Xiongfei bought the drone.

It was three months ago one night, just into summer, the day was very hot in Shihezi, Wu Xiongfei saw the news of DJI's MG-1 plant protection drone on Weibo.

On the news, it said that the MG-1 plant protection drone's main purpose is to administer medicine to farmland, whether it's wheat, corn, fruits, vegetables or cotton, and so on.

Wu Xiongfei, who originally didn't care about this news, said in the comments section that according to the MG-1 plant protection drone's operation volume of 40-50 mu per hour, it should be able to earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month during the busy farming season!

Twenty to thirty thousand dollars a month! It's like picking up money," said Wu Xiongfei, who was shocked.

When you think of the number of farmers growing cotton in Shihezi and the entire new province, two months from now will be the cotton defoliation period, and you'll be able to buy a drone to make money for cotton farmers.

However, when Wu Xiongfei opened the DJI website and saw the exorbitant price of 49,999 RMB, Wu Xiongfei was stunned, it was so expensive, it was almost as expensive as a car!

After a week of struggling with it, Wu Xiongfei finally made up his mind to buy one after various calculations!

After getting started with the drone, Wu Xiongfei learned how to operate the drone with DJI agents and trainers in the new province, gaining experience and skills, while advertising in friends' circles, WeChat groups, Weibo and other places to attract customers.

For more than a month, Wu Xiongfei fought more than 3,000 mu of land, while the technique of operating the drone to fight medicine also became proficient.

"Uncle, I'm going to start, your family's land is this piece of land to this piece of land, right?" Standing on the ground, Wu Xiongfei adjusted the drone, refilled it with pesticide, and confirmed it again with Kadeer.

After seeing Kadeer nodding his head and saying yes, Wu Xiongfei took two steps back, picked up the remote control of the drone and started to operate the drone.

Pressing the opening key, setting M gear, along with a slight buzzing sound, the drone, which was originally parked on the ground, began to slowly rise into the air, hovering a few meters high in the air.

Flicking the remote control stick, the drone slowly accelerated forward, and when it was almost over the cotton field, Wu Xiongfei turned on the pesticide spraying switch.

Poof ......

Several nozzles of the drone started spraying pesticides.

When it reached the end of the field, it operated the drone to fly to the other half of the unsprayed cotton field, spraying pesticides and turning back evenly.

In less than two minutes, one acre of land was sprayed!

Wu Xiongfei didn't hesitate and flew to another acre of land to continue spraying pesticides while Kadeer and a few villagers looked on in amazement.

More than half an hour later, the Kardel family's 15 acres of land had been medicated by the drone, and Wu Xiongfei also operated the drone and flew back slowly.

"This airplane is really fast at hitting medicine!" A villager, while praising them, quickly went up to the Kader family's cotton field to check the situation of the medicine.

The brown-green, almost ripe cotton branches and leaves were sprinkled with tiny drops of water smaller than sesame seeds, which were not only evenly distributed, but also almost unnoticed.

"Good! Yes! Yes!" The villagers who returned said three good words and gave Wu Xiongfei a thumbs up.

Wu Xiongfei packed up the drone and after calculating 150 yuan for 15 mu of land with Kadeer, he drove his small pickup truck and followed the villager to his cotton field.

Compared to Kadeer's family only 15 acres of cotton fields, the villagers are considered the village of Bostan, a total of 62 acres of land, and are even a piece of land, with drones not only convenient medicine, but according to Wu Xiongfei more than 50 acres of land only 8 yuan per acre price, but also a lot cheaper.

Of course, the Kardel family's fee of 10 yuan per acre is also very cheap, nearly half as much as the fee for manual or tractor medicine.

Otherwise, according to the conservative attitude of the cotton farmers in the village, they would prefer to use manual or tractor medicine, which they are familiar with, for the same price.

Wu Xiongfei spent the whole day in Bostan village, working from morning to night, and made nearly 3,000 yuan from a total of more than 300 mu of land.

That night, after finding a small hotel in Awati County, Wu Xiongfei woke up early in the morning and drove to another village in Linxian County, where his friend and cousin introduced him to several cotton farmers, who were willing to work on nearly 200 acres of land.

Try using drones to fight medicine in your own cotton fields.

In the new province, the use of drones to fight medicine is still a new thing, even if it is cheap, not many cotton farmers are willing to try, Wu Xiongfei can only go around by a little way, a little accumulation of customers and contacts, I think next year to the farming season, his business is definitely much smoother and more convenient than this year.

Of course, Wu Xiongfei is also very satisfied with his results this year. By the time the cotton defoliation period ends, he will not only be able to fully recover the cost of the drone, but also make a net profit of one to two million, and next year, it will be a net profit!

Thinking about the scenery of next year's farming season, when he would earn 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a month, Wu Xiongfei, who was driving the car, hummed happily, "This is really a year of busy two months, two months to earn a year of money.
