Today I visited the Central Agricultural Improvement Station of the Ministry of Agriculture and gained a lot from the experience. Initially, the instructor introduced various commonly used agricultural machinery such as fertilizer spreaders, sprayers, and lifts. Among them, the lift caught my attention the most. It can assist farmers in harvesting taller crops, saving time and ensuring safety.

Later, we also visited a 3D printer used to produce models of developing agricultural machinery. This technology allows for quicker and simpler fabrication of more precise machines. With the advancement of technology, a variety of machines have been developed to make the work of farmers much more convenient.

I am delighted to have had the opportunity to participate in this visit. Besides seeing many new things, I also learned a lot of new knowledge.

Today was really fruitful! Initially, the teacher explained the operations of various agricultural tools, such as fertilizer spreaders, rice planters, and tillers, and even those still under development. Among them, what I found the coolest were the transplanter and the machine for electrically controlling grape irrigation. The transplanter can move seedlings in groups of four using machine hands, saving a lot of time and effort compared to manual labor. Later, we also visited a 3D printer. Although we learned about it in textbooks last semester, I wasn't very familiar with it. After seeing it today, I have a much clearer understanding of how it works and it left a deeper impression on me. I used to think that agriculture was all about manual labor and hard work, bending over to farm fields. However, today has completely changed my perspective. With technological advancements, a variety of machinery has been developed, which is truly impressive. I'm grateful to the teacher for organizing such a fantastic activity!

Today, I visited the Taichung District Agricultural Improvement Station, and as soon as I entered, I was drawn to a machine inside a greenhouse model. This is a "drip fertilization system". Greenhouses usually have various types of crops, so different amounts of fertilizer are needed. Therefore, this system has several pipes that can be inserted next to the crops for fertilization. Since my school is surrounded by fields, I often see fertilization being done. However, most of it is done manually by elderly farmers carrying it on their backs. Therefore, the Agricultural Improvement Station has developed a fertilizer machine. It not only automatically sprays fertilizer but also considers weight and has been converted to electric operation, which is very practical for farmers. In addition, I also tried using a "lifting machine", which was more stable than I imagined and therefore safer compared to using a ladder. I learned a lot of new knowledge on this trip!

Today, at the Agricultural Machinery Research Laboratory of the Taichung District Agricultural Improvement Station of the Ministry of Agriculture, I learned a lot. We explored various improved agricultural machinery, such as lifting platforms, automated watering machines, and automatic fertilizer spreaders. To ensure that the machines are not too heavy for farmers to handle, they are powered, making them lighter and easier to operate. We also observed a machine for automatic seedling transplantation, eliminating the need for farmers to bend down and plant seedlings one by one manually. Each machine is meticulously designed to alleviate the burden on farmers. Finally, we observed 3D printers of various sizes, each of which was extremely cool.

I've never had the opportunity to interact with agricultural machinery before. However, today, thanks to the teacher's introduction to specialized agricultural equipment, I've gained a lot. From the VR operation simulator for assisting farmers in training with tractors, to the smart drip irrigation system, and the electric fertilizer spreader... These devices are all designed to address the inconveniences faced by farmers and significantly reduce the heavy reliance on manual labor in early-stage farming. Additionally, in the past, research and development were time-consuming and labor-intensive. Now, with the assistance of 3D printers, the development of finished products can be more precise and the development time can be shortened.

Technological advancements have not only improved the quality of cultivation but also saved a lot of time and costs. I hope that in the future, there will be more innovative agricultural machinery output, allowing the world to see Taiwan's contributions.

Today, I got to know many agricultural machinery. One that particularly fascinated me was the robotic arm. It can actually be used for frying noodles and cooking, making it the perfect companion for chefs. It makes me want to buy one for household chores too, but the price of the robotic arm is quite high. Just the pressure-sensitive gripper alone costs 100,000 NT dollars. I think I'll stick to doing chores the old-fashioned way for now. Additionally, I found the large 3D printer very cool. You can simply design the model on the computer and then print it out. Actually, we used to have one at home, but we sold it later on. It's my first time seeing such a large-scale printer, which really broadened my horizons.

Today, I visited the Central District Agricultural Improvement Station of the Ministry of Agriculture, and I found it very beneficial because I got to learn about various agricultural machinery. For example, electric fertilizer spreaders, self-propelled sprayers, and automatic lifting vehicles. These tools are specially designed to help farmers save time and effort, while also enabling them to produce more crops of better quality.

Among them, I found the "smart irrigation system" to be the most impressive. This irrigation system can analyze the growth status of crops every day and determine how much fertilizer and water each plant needs accordingly. This helps conserve water resources and reduce labor costs, among other benefits.

Scientific farming not only makes farmers' work more efficient but also improves the quality of cultivation. It makes the farmers' work much more convenient.

Before visiting the improvement station, I was curious about what activities would be introduced and didn't really understand what improvements could be made to agricultural machinery. Today, I couldn't wait to visit the improvement station and found out that it's actually about improving agricultural machinery. There are many different types of equipment designed to make it easier for farmers and gardeners. Inside, I saw many machines, and upstairs, there were even more impressive devices, such as 3D printers. They are super cool and can print out large-scale tools that are less likely to break. The rounded edges are also made so smooth. The technology of AI graphics is also amazing. It can design drawings for various ideas in a short period. Today's visit was very rewarding and expanded my knowledge.
