On November 21, a farmer drove a white radish combine-harvester to perform automated harvesting tasks, including pulling up the radishes, cutting the leaves, and packing and crating them in Shashi Township, Liuyang City. The white radish combine-harvester, independently developed by a mechanized harvesting and post-production processing team of the Hunan Agricultural University, conducted its first field exercise on the same day. It can harvest 2,000 kilograms of white radishes per hour, five times faster than manual labor. (Photo/Zhao Chi, Hunan Daily)
