At present, the wheat harvester is rapidly advancing from south to north. As of 17:00 on June 9th, 204 million acres of winter wheat have been harvested nationwide, with a harvest progress of 67%. The wheat harvest in Anhui has basically ended, with a progress of over 90% in Henan, over 60% in Jiangsu, over 30% in Shaanxi, over 30% in Shandong, and over 10% in Shanxi and Hebei.

The yield of summer grain exceeds one-fifth of the total annual grain production, and wheat is the main body of summer grain, making it the second largest grain ration for the Chinese people. Stable wheat production is of great significance for achieving a bumper grain harvest throughout the year. What is the production situation of "Three Summers"? How to deal with difficulties during summer harvest?

Improved varieties unleash production potential

Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued a variety approval announcement, approving 197 new wheat varieties. These high yield, high-quality, green, stress resistant, and specialized wheat varieties will provide more choices for wheat production. In the tumultuous "San Xia" season, the excellent varieties that have been promoted are continuously unleashing their production potential.

In the wheat field of Nanmeng Town, Gaocheng District, Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, wheat is growing well. "I planted 800 mu of wheat this year, all of which are 'Gaoyou 2018' varieties. It is expected to harvest in the middle of June, which will be another bumper year." Liu Hebin, head of Fengkede Agricultural Machinery Cooperative in Gaocheng District, said. "Gaocheng District is one of the largest production bases of strong gluten wheat in China. This year, the wheat area reached 487000 mu, and the variety of high gluten wheat accounted for more than 80%," said Liu Yongqiang, deputy director of the Gaocheng District Agricultural and Rural Bureau.

In the wheat fields of Wan Xiaoqiang, a grain grower in Liuhu Town, Dongying District, Dongying, Shandong Province, wheat has turned yellow. "After selecting good seeds, we can also harvest food in Alkali soil. In the past two years, I have used Jimai 22, a saline alkali resistant and water-saving drought resistant variety. At the best time, we can increase production by nearly 100 jin per mu. It has good taste, high flour yield, and chewy pasta." Wan Xiaoqiang said that his family's 700 mu wheat belongs to Alkali soil, which was originally limited by land conditions and could only grow cotton. With the improvement of Alkali soil, the breeding of improved varieties continues to bring forth new ones, and wheat and other grain crops have also achieved stable yield. In recent years, Liuhu Town has guided farmers to carry out demonstration and promotion of improved wheat varieties, promoted the construction of high standard farmland, promoted the reduction and efficiency improvement technology of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, strengthened the guidance and training of planting technology, and consolidated the foundation of modern agricultural development, with increasing confidence in harvest. "Liu Guoqiang, a secretary of the Liuhu Town Party Committee, introduced.

Sufficient supply of total machinery and tools

It is reported that agricultural and rural departments at all levels are working together with transportation, meteorology, petroleum and petrochemical units to ensure good service guarantees, issuing meteorological warning forecasts and meteorological prompts for machine harvesting operations, providing guarantee services for farmers' machine operators, such as supply and demand coordination, agricultural machine passage, and preferential refueling.

Each main production area has formulated a "Three Summer" mechanized production work plan and established over 6000 emergency operation service teams for agricultural machinery. Anhui Province plans to invest 200000 Combine harvester, and the yield is expected to exceed 98.5%. Shandong Province is expected to launch 1.5 million sets of agricultural machinery and establish 700 guaranteed oil supply stations to ensure sufficient supply of agricultural machinery oil.

At the customer service center of Weichai Lovol, an agricultural machinery enterprise, a "smart cloud brain" large screen is eye-catching, displaying real-time information such as the operation data of intelligent agricultural machinery across the country. The director of the center, Jiang Qiang, said that this year, the center will continue to leverage its information technology advantages to provide services including job supply and demand, weather forecasting, and technical guidance for agricultural machinery operators nationwide.

Currently, wheat in various regions of Hebei has also entered the harvesting stage. Bao Qingxiao, director of the Agricultural Machinery Service Promotion Center in Gaocheng District, Shijiazhuang, said that 2300 wheat harvesters had been prepared in the district, and the wheat harvest in the whole district could be completed in three to five days.

Key links of power generation

In late May, there was a large-scale continuous rainfall process in the northern winter wheat region, with some areas experiencing "rotten rain", causing some mature wheat to sprout and mold. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has issued an urgent notice requiring relevant provinces to scientifically respond to the "rotten rain" weather and seize the opportunity to harvest and dry wheat in a timely manner. "The wheat harvest must be based on the" grab "principle. The agricultural machinery departments at all levels and the 800000 agricultural machinery operators who participated in the wheat harvest in the Huang Huai Hai Wheat District must overcome difficulties and fight continuously to win the battle of summer harvest and summer planting," said Ji Mingfeng, director of the Department of Mechanised agriculture Management of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.

Recently, the affected areas have mobilized various forces such as state-owned grain depots, grain collection and storage enterprises, supply and marketing systems, and farmers' cooperatives to use various types of grain drying machinery to dry and sun wheat with high moisture content as much as possible, in order to minimize losses and mold. To ensure the urgent harvest of summer grain, Henan has launched 10 emergency measures for harvesting, drying, and drying, seizing the "window period" of sunny weather to quickly harvest, further tapping into drying equipment, implementing wheat insurance claims, and doing a good job in wheat procurement. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has proposed to make full use of various drying facilities for various subjects, guide the promotion of segmented drying measures, open cultural squares, school playgrounds and other space spaces for outdoor drying, and minimize the moisture content of wheat.

Before the large-scale harvest of summer grain, the National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration proposed to put the purchase of summer grain in a more prominent position and firmly hold the bottom line that farmers can "grow grain and sell it". Give full play to the role of the grain postpartum service center, strengthen guidance on household grain storage technology, and help farmers reduce losses and increase income. Liu Changquan, a researcher at the Institute of Rural Development of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that with the harvest of summer grain, the purchase work began immediately. Various regions should strengthen the docking between agriculture and enterprises, deepen cooperation in grain production and sales, guide diversified entities to enter the market, and ensure that farmers have both high yields and abundant harvests.
