Survey of Grain Farmers' Drone Service Use and Green Production in Sichuan Province

810 grain farmers in Sichuan Province were surveyed to analyze the impact of drone service purchases on green agricultural practices. The dataset likely contains responses on farmer demographics, service usage, and adoption of green technologies like low-toxicity pesticides and straw return. The data was uploaded by Guoyan Zeng on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between drone service purchase and green technology adoption based on survey responses.
• Analyzing heterogeneity in impact across farmer groups like scale, region, and cooperative membership.
• Investigating the mediating mechanism of labor release and non-agricultural employment on green investment ability.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a micro-survey of 810 grain farmers, providing a specific sample size.
• The analysis addresses endogeneity issues, suggesting the underlying data supports robust statistical methods.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the survey being limited to Sichuan Province.
