自1953年以来,武威县共推广畜力12行播种机89台,这些播种机根据实地使用結果,由于它省工、省籽、工作效率高、播种深浅一致、出苗整齐,因此,一般都很受羣众欢迎;但它还存在一些缺点,就是肥料不能集中施用,播下庄稼幼苗发黃、不发旺。这种現象尤其在缺肥地区表現更为突出,所以有些羣众反映說:“播种机播下的庄稼好是好,就是背糞着呢!” Since 1953, Wuwei county has promoted a total of 89 dozers of 12 lines of animal power. These sowing machines have generally been affected by the results of field use because of their labor-saving and provincial seedings, high work efficiency, consistent sowing depth, and emergence and tidiness. However, it still has some shortcomings, that is, the fertilizer can not be applied centrally and the yellow seedlings of crops are yellowed and not flourishing. This phenomenon is especially noticeable in areas lacking fertilizer, so some people said: “Crops sowed are good, they are dung!”
