Science'Perfect circle' farms in northwest China use BeiDou-guided seed drills
More than 23 square kilometers of winter wheat are being sown in circular fields along the southern edge of the Taklimakan Desert. BeiDou guides the seed drills, while center-pivot irrigation uses snowmelt from the Kunlun Mountains more efficiently than flood irrigation. Rotating wheat with oats or alfalfa helps stabilize sand, improve soil and feed livestock.
