"Farming with just a smartphone! I saw the future of agriculture in China!" exclaimed by Ramzes, a student from Kazakhstan, as he explored the XAG Smart Farmin Huangpu District, Guangzhou. As a "China Explorer" invited by the I See China project of Yangcheng Evening News, he took part in an immersive journey of smart agriculture.

Gone are the muddy fields of traditional farming, in their place stands a landscape full of cutting-edge technology, including tractors equipped with auto-pilot systems, low-flying agricultural drones, and farm operations mostly controlled by a smartphone. "I've never driven a tractor before, and I have never imagined I could one day operate one in a field with only a phone!" Ramzes said with amazement while sitting in the co-pilot seat of a tractor fitted with an autonomous driving system. With a few taps, he could control the vehicle's movement, turns, and soil tilling.

What impressed him even more was personally operating the XAG P150 Pro agricultural drone. According to Ye Yonghui, the Head of Operationsat XAG Smart Farm, this drone integrates four major functions, including spraying, spreading, transport, and aerial mapping. It can cover approximately 300 mu per day, delivering over 20 times the efficiency of manual labor.

What made Ramzes especially proud is that XAG's agricultural drones have already been used in his hometown of Kazakhstan for precision farming of crops such as sunflowers, wheat, potatoes, and cotton. "XAG's distribution network spans five continents, and its products and solutions have been applied in over 70 countries and regions, covering the major agricultural nations globally," Ye introduced.

"Agriculture can be so smart, so efficient, and even so fun!" Ramzes said with a smile. "I honestly think that being a farmer in the future could be one of the coolest jobs out there!"

哈萨克斯坦留学生走进广州智慧农场：“我在中国看到了未来农业！”

“会玩手机就能种地！我在中国看到了未来农业！”5月，在广州黄埔的极飞超级农场，来自哈萨克斯坦的留学生瑞泽，作为羊城晚报“I See China”栏目的“中国探秘官”，沉浸式体验了一场“智慧农业”之旅。

这里没有传统农耕的泥土飞扬，而是满眼高科技：加装了农机自驾仪实现辅助驾驶的拖拉机、低空飞行的农业无人机，几乎所有操作只需一部手机。“我从来没开过拖拉机，更没想到有一天，只用手机就能在农田里操作农机！”坐在搭载农机自驾仪的拖拉机副驾的瑞泽惊讶地发现，用一部手机就能控制拖拉机前进、转弯、耙地等操作。

更让他震撼的是亲手操控极飞P150 Pro农业无人飞机。极飞超级农场运营负责人叶永辉介绍，这台农业无人飞机具备喷洒、播撒、运输、航测四大功能，一天能作业300亩左右，是人工效率的20倍以上。

让瑞泽倍感自豪的是，极飞农业无人飞机也已“飞”进了他的家乡哈萨克斯坦，用于向日葵、小麦、土豆和棉花等农作物的精准作业。“极飞科技的分销网络遍布全球五大洲，产品与解决方案目前已应用于全球70个国家和地区，覆盖了全球主要的农业国家。”叶永辉介绍。

“农业原来也可以这么智慧、高效又有趣！”瑞泽笑着说，“我觉得，未来当农民其实是一个非常酷的职业！”
