Why don't you Xinjiang residents buy automatic harvesters to harvest cotton mechanically?

There are many reasons why Xinjiang residents don't use automatic harvesters during cotton harvest. These reasons may vary according to countries, regions and specific situations, including but not limited to the following reasons:

1. Cotton grade: Mechanical cotton picking usually affects the cotton grade, because the machine may cause some physical damage to cotton during harvesting, resulting in a decline in cotton quality.

2. The price of cotton picker is high: the price of automatic harvester is relatively high. For many cotton farmers, buying and using automatic harvesters may increase economic pressure.

3. Water shortage: Xinjiang is short of water resources, so there are often many ridges in the ground, which is not conducive to mechanized operation.

4. Habits and concepts: Some cotton farmers may prefer the traditional manual picking method, they may think it is cleaner and more efficient, or they lack confidence in the mechanized picking method.

Generally speaking, the reasons why Xinjiang residents don't use automatic harvesters involve many aspects, including but not limited to cotton grade, economic pressure, geographical environment and personal habits. When making specific decisions, cotton farmers will choose the most suitable picking method according to their own situation.
