Agricultural production machinery services are in high demand.

(Baonghean) - Currently, in most of the fields, farmers are urgently harvesting the spring crop; due to lack of labor and to ensure the summer-autumn crop is implemented on schedule, agricultural machinery rental services have become popular.

Rice threshing machine rental service of Mr. Nguyen Trong Truong's family in Hung Tan commune (Hung Nguyen).

At this time, along Provincial Road 558 and National Highway 46A... every 1-2 hectares of rice fields, there is an agricultural machine actively operating so that people can deploy the summer-autumn crop on time.

Mr. Cao Quoc Hoang, in Hung Thai commune (Hung Nguyen) excitedly said: “It is the production season, so I work day and night to meet the farmers' schedule. Currently, people mainly hire machines to do everything, high productivity, efficiency, and timely. I get called by more than 10 families a day to work for hire, sometimes I can't keep up. I have to start work from early morning until 10 pm before stopping.”

According to Mr. Hoang, at first, many farming households lacked workers, so he decided to borrow 200 million VND to invest in buying a multi-purpose agricultural machine, which can plow, till, and make ridges... Each day, his machine can plow 30 - 35 hectares, with a tillage price of 130,000 - 150,000 VND/sao. After deducting maintenance costs and fuel costs, on average, after each crop season lasting 10 - 15 days, Mr. Hoang earns 50 - 60 million VND in wages. Seeing the many benefits of multi-purpose tillage machines, many other households in the commune have invested in buying them. To date, there are about 15 specialized mechanical machines in Hung Thai commune.

Currently, the rice threshing machine is also one of the agricultural machines that has been promoted. Mr. Nguyen Trong Truong, in Hamlet 3, Hung Tan Commune (Hung Nguyen) said: "I bought a rice threshing machine for about 10 million VND. After finishing all my fields, I took the opportunity to work for other families in need. At the peak, there were days when I received more than 3 - 4 hectares of rice, an average of 80,000 VND/sao. Thanks to renting out the rice threshing machine, my family's life has become more prosperous."

The land preparation machine rental service of Mr. Cao Quoc Hoang's family, Hung Thai, brings in an income of 50 - 60 million VND/crop and helps farmers ensure production on schedule.

Thanks to the use of agricultural services such as renting plows, harvesters, and threshers, it helps increase productivity, reduce production costs, free up labor, and increase income for farmers. Ms. Luong Thi Binh in Nam Dan district said: "The service of renting agricultural machines, although more expensive than hiring workers, but the capacity of machines is 4-6 times higher than manual work, and the fields are guaranteed to be in season..."

The benefits of investing in mechanical machines for agricultural production are clear, but there are also limitations in that the current types of agricultural services are technical, mainly based on practical experience. Therefore, users of the equipment need to undergo training to ensure safety at work, both to maximize the function and to limit damage to the machinery.
