1.5 million agricultural machinery deployed to ensure loss reduction, efficiency improvement, and high standard completion of summer planting operations | Shandong | Summer planting
CCTV News: Currently, 6.012 million mu of wheat in Shandong has entered the concentrated harvest period. Shandong deep excavator has the potential to harvest operations, reduce waste, ensure particle return to the warehouse, and seize agricultural time to accelerate the progress of summer planting and management.
In this wheat field in Guoli Town, Zoucheng, Jining City, Shandong Province, a large-scale competition for machine harvesting and loss reduction is underway. It is understood that currently, the loss rate of grain harvesting in China is about 1.5% -5%, generally above 3%. Holding a machine harvesting loss reduction competition is to improve the machine harvesting operation level of agricultural machinery operators through training and competition communication.
Wang Naisheng, Director of the Agricultural Mechanization Management Department of the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Department of Shandong Province: With the operation of the operator, we have reduced the loss rate by approximately 1% compared to the current national standard. Based on an average yield of 500 kilograms, one acre of land can reduce losses by 10 kilograms, and 60 million mu of wheat is equivalent to an increase in income of 600 million kilograms.
This summer, Shandong achieved full coverage of machine harvesting and loss reduction competitions and loss monitoring in counties and cities with a planting area of over 500000 acres of grain crops. At the same time as achieving a good summer harvest, Shandong also sows over 54 million acres of corn. In Heze, in order to accelerate the progress of summer planting, high-power tractors and seeders are mobilized locally to coordinate "operations" on contiguous large plots of land, collecting and sowing one piece.
During this year's "Three Summers" period, Shandong is expected to deploy 1.5 million agricultural machinery to ensure loss reduction and efficiency improvement, particle return to storage, and high standard completion of summer planting operations. As of 5pm on June 7th, Shandong has received 10.17 million mu of wheat, accounting for 16.9% of the receivable area. Shandong Province should sow 54.25 million mu of corn, with 5.25 million mu already sown.
