China's autumn grain harvest is accelerating across the country.
The latest agricultural situation dispatch from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that more than 40% of the national autumn grain harvest has been completed.
Various regions are seizing the farming season and adopting multiple measures to ensure that every grain of the harvest is safely secured.
Currently, Northeast China has entered the peak period of autumn grain harvesting.
Heilongjiang Province has harvested over 68 million mu of grain, accounting for roughly 30% of the province's autumn grain area.
In Youyi County of Shuangyashan City, 100,000 mu of glutinous rice has entered a concentrated harvest period.
Through the implementation of standardized planting, glutinous rice production here has basically achieved full mechanization across plowing, planting, harvesting, and storage.
Local authorities are also actively promoting the contract farming model, whereby glutinous rice is sent uniformly to enterprise storage and processing facilities after harvesting, turning a "good harvest" into "good income" for farmers.
Liaoning Province's autumn grain harvest progress is nearly halfway complete, with the pace faster than the same period last year.
Various areas of Liaoning are coordinating the deployment of agricultural machinery and organizing cross-regional operations.
In Changtu County of Tieling City, the harvesting of over 4 million mu of corn is in full swing.
This year, the locality is further promoting the combination of mechanized corn harvesting with conservation tillage of black soil, returning straw to the fields through supporting crushing and spreading devices to protect the soil layer.
The Huang-Huai-Hai region is stepping up its autumn grain harvest.
Hebei Province has harvested nearly 31 million mu of corn, accounting for about 60% of the planted area.
This year, Hebei has deployed 810,000 agricultural machines across the province and promoted an integrated operation model of "mechanical harvesting, drying, and storage."
In Renze District of Xingtai City, large combine harvesters shuttle back and forth, completing ear picking, husking, and straw crushing and returning to the field in one continuous process, greatly accelerating the corn harvest progress.
Anhui Province has harvested more than 30% of its autumn grain area, with new equipment becoming an important guarantee for reducing losses and increasing income.
In Guoyang County of Bozhou City, vast stretches of corn are plump and full of kernels.
This year, the locality is vigorously promoting intelligent machinery for direct grain harvesting, which can complete multiple operations including ear picking and threshing in a single pass.
From harvesting ears in the past to harvesting kernels now, corn kernels remain off the ground throughout the entire process, ensuring improved quality and reduced losses in the autumn grain harvest.
