HEFEI, March 24 (Xinhua) -- A buzzing fleet of agricultural spraying drones hover over wheat fields in Guwei Village of Lujiang County in east China's Anhui Province, applying pesticides efficiently and precisely.

A rare scene in the past, this is now a common sight in many parts of rural China. Yu Xiaojun, 28, is one of the farmers-turned-drone operators.

In April 2016, Yu founded an agricultural machinery services cooperative in partnership with his friends to provide services including plowing, sowing, crop protection and harvest for large-scale farms.

"Large-scale farming needs the support of science and technology," Yu said.

The cooperative now has over 100 sets of machinery and equipment and more than 20 staff members, serving three counties. Many young people go to Yu to learn how to fly drones.

Yu is among the many farmers in China who are forging new career paths for themselves. From drone operators to social media influencers, new types of occupations taken on by Chinese farmers not only bring higher incomes but also inject new life into China's rural revitalization.

Holding a plate of dried sweet potatoes, Zhang Chuanfeng stood in front of a mobile phone mounted on a tripod, introducing the local delicacy.

The 40-year-old farmer stands at 1.4 meters tall and was worried about his future after struggling in various jobs due to his height. However, his transition from farmer to an online entrepreneur was a success.

With the support of the local government, Zhang rented a stall and opened his online business. To improve his marketing skills, he attended training courses and learned from other online streamers.

"Through my efforts, I have lifted my family out of poverty and bought a car and an apartment, which was unimaginable before," Zhang said.
