"Manual seeding is very tiring — 1 mu (0.067 hectares) of land would cost a man more than a day to complete. But with the help of the machine, work becomes much easier and can be done within half a day," farmer Yu Shenyun, 70, said.

As of March last year, more than 20,000 mu in Yongchuan were planted using the new technology.
