Wheat Harvest Progress Over 30% "Three Summers" Large scale Wheat Machine Harvest Fully Launched | Wheat | 30% "Three Summers"
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs's wheat harvesting scheduling shows that the national wheat harvesting progress has exceeded 30%, and the large-scale wheat harvesting in the "Three Summers" is fully underway.
In the past two days, the weather in Henan Province has cleared up, and major grain producing counties south of the Yellow River have seized the opportunity to harvest mature wheat as quickly as possible. Pingyu County will divide the entire wheat field into grid areas, conduct supply-demand coordination in advance, allocate each agricultural machine reasonably to each grid for harvesting nearby, and reduce transfer time.
CCTV reporter Shao Haicheng: I am currently in a wheat field in Pingyu County, Henan Province. The agricultural machinery workers are taking advantage of the sunny weather to increase their work hours and make every effort to harvest wheat. According to the target plan, over one million mu of wheat in the county should be harvested within three days before the next round of rainfall.
Affected by rainy weather, the wheat harvest period has become more concentrated this year. In order to better ensure the steady progress of wheat harvesting, Huaiyuan County, Bengbu City, Anhui Province has deployed more than 12000 various types of agricultural machinery to serve the front line of wheat harvesting through various means, striving to complete the wheat harvesting of the entire county within a week.
Hu Honglei, Director of the Agricultural Machinery Promotion Center in Huaiyuan County, Bengbu City, Anhui Province: Establish 10 agricultural machinery maintenance teams to ensure that various agricultural machinery such as harvesting, bundling, and drying are put into operation in good condition.
In Yuncheng, Shanxi, the local agricultural department, in collaboration with the transportation department, has opened a green channel and set up 31 cross regional agricultural machinery operation service stations at the main highway entrances and exits. They provide 24-hour emergency solutions to various problems and coordinate with surrounding cities to quickly enter and carry out operations with tracked harvesters.
Wang Xue, a staff member of the Modern Agricultural Development Center in Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province: 159 crawler combine harvesters were urgently selected for operation. For small plots of land such as hilly and mountainous areas, we used small combine harvesters and crawler combine harvesters for harvesting, ensuring that the machine yield reached over 99%.
It is expected that the large-scale machine harvest nationwide will continue until around June 20th. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will guide various regions to continuously ensure cross regional machine harvesting access and oil supply, strengthen the release of wheat harvesting information and machine scheduling, and make every effort to ensure a bountiful harvest.
