A drone company XAG launched the "Super Cotton Farm" – Future Digital Unmanned Farm Management Project in 2021, which enabled Mo Xiaoyu, an inexperienced new farmer born in the 1990s to turn her cotton fields into a real-life game "Happy Farm," by following a few simple steps. These systems enable Mo to monitor and manage her farm remotely from her computer anytime and anywhere, without having to visit it in person. After three growing seasons of refinement the "Super Cotton Farm" now only requires two people to digitally manage 3,000 mu (200 ha) of cotton plants. The "Super Cotton Farm" has facilitated significant advancements in cotton production, and created new participation opportunities for women through technology.
