Mechanised agriculture effectively guarantees the harvest of summer grain

Once the wheat is ripe, the key is to compete. This year, the large-scale mechanical harvest of wheat in the “Three Summers” period began on June 2nd, rapidly advancing from south to north. As of June 20th, nine provinces including Sichuan, Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hebei, Shandong, Shaanxi, and Shanxi have harvested 301 million acres of winter wheat, with a harvest progress of 99%. The wheat harvests in Hebei, Shandong, and Shaanxi have entered the final stage, while the wheat harvests in Shanxi are about to come to an end. The large-scale machine harvests in the Huanghuaihai region have basically come to an end. The front line of summer harvest is the exhibition field of China’s agricultural science and technology equipment, and Mechanised agriculture has effectively guaranteed the harvest of summer grain.

“Thanks to the large agricultural machinery, the harvest is fast and the efficiency is high.” Gaoxin, a villager in Dawu Village, Luhe Township, Zhengyang County, Henan Province, just after selling the new wheat, he kept busy sowing the next season. “The integrated machine for peanut cultivation and sowing enters the field, and 15 mu of peanuts will be sowed in half a day.”

In late May, Henan Province experienced widespread and sustained rainfall, posing a challenge to wheat harvesting. Our village has accumulated water in the wheat fields and urgently needs a crawler harvester. “On the early morning of June 2nd, Gaoxin dialed the county’s” Three Summers “cross district operation duty phone number. In less than an hour, agricultural mechanic Wang Xiaodong drove a tracked harvester to the field and put it into a rush to harvest. By noon, he had already harvested 15 acres of wheat.

Behind the constantly refreshing progress of wheat harvesting is the strong support of agricultural technology equipment. In the past decade of the new era, China’s agricultural machinery and equipment have achieved leapfrog development. Efforts have been made in research and development, manufacturing, promotion and application, breaking through core technologies, expanding application scenarios, and being able to produce over 4000 agricultural machinery products, meeting 90% of the domestic market demand. High performance new agricultural machinery, such as Beidou navigation high-power tractor, riding Rice transplanter, self-propelled corn combine harvester, are widely used. Digital technology is deeply integrated with modern agricultural machinery, and agricultural production is more accurate and efficient. The total number of plant protection unmanned aerial vehicles exceeds 130000. At present, China’s main grain crop harvesting has basically achieved mechanization, with yields of wheat, rice, and corn exceeding 97%, 94%, and 78%, respectively.

Strong technological equipment is an important feature of an agricultural power. On the front line of summer harvest, various regions have taken extraordinary measures to seize wheat, and made every effort to do a good job in summer planting and management. The fields and fields have stirred up technological momentum, strengthening the support and guarantee of food security. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has proposed to increase policy support, promote the creation and application of advanced agricultural machinery, promote the comprehensive integration and development of modern information technology and various fields and links of food production, and provide more solid support for promoting agricultural modernization and building an agricultural power.
