Planting a millet in spring and harvesting ten thousand seeds in autumn. At present, it is the harvest season, and Xinyuan County has achieved a bumper harvest of 58000 mu of corn for seed production. A mechanized harvest of corn for seed production has been staged in the fields.
In the seed corn field of Bestobe Township, Xinyuan County, corn harvesters shuttle back and forth, accompanied by the roar of the machines. Rows of corn are swallowed into the “belly” of the harvesters, while sticks of mature corn directly enter the harvester’s grain tank, and the straw is then crushed… The field is bustling with activity.
It is reported that the mechanized harvesting of seed corn, including ear picking, peeling, and straw crushing, is completed in one go, achieving cost saving, efficiency enhancing, and simplified harvesting, greatly improving labor efficiency and reducing farmers’ labor intensity.
Zhao Zilong, the person in charge of the production base of Yili Qiufeng Seed Industry, said, “Our early sowing is also the most advanced machinery. We track, manage, sow, and distribute high-quality seed corn seeds and fertilizers throughout the process. It is also the harvest season, and we invest in the most advanced large-scale machinery. We have two machines, each of which harvests 20 rows, so its harvest efficiency is quite high.
In recent years, Xinyuan County has firmly shouldered the political responsibility of ensuring food security, deeply implemented the strategy of storing grain in the ground and storing grain in technology, fully played a leading role in demonstration, promoted the scientific combination of good varieties and methods and suitable machinery, effectively solved problems such as traditional production methods, labor and time consumption, and poor operational efficiency, and achieved the goal of saving costs, labor, reducing field losses, and improving comprehensive production level.
