China's autumn grain harvest is being stepped up. According to the latest agricultural monitoring data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, more than 40% of the national autumn grain harvest has been completed. Various regions are seizing the farming season and taking multiple measures to ensure that every grain is safely stored.

Currently, Northeast China has entered the peak period of autumn grain harvest. Heilongjiang Province has harvested over 68 million mu of grain, accounting for about one-third of the province's autumn grain area. In Youyi County of Shuangyashan City, 100,000 mu of glutinous rice have entered a concentrated harvest period. Through the implementation of standardized planting, glutinous rice production here has basically achieved full mechanization across the entire process of plowing, planting, harvesting, and storage. The local area is also actively promoting the contract farming model, where glutinous rice is uniformly sent to enterprise storage and processing facilities after harvesting, turning a "good harvest" into "good income" for farmers.

Liaoning Province's autumn grain harvest is nearly halfway completed, with progress faster than the same period last year. Various areas in 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 local area is further promoting the combination of mechanized corn harvesting with conservation tillage of black soil, using supporting crushing and spreading devices to return straw to the field and protect the soil layer.

The autumn grain harvest in the Huang-Huai-Hai region is being accelerated. 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 units of agricultural machinery across the province and is promoting an integrated operation model of mechanized harvesting, drying, and storage. In Renze District of Xingtai City, large combine harvesters are shuttling 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 fields of corn are growing plump and full of kernels. This year, the local area is vigorously promoting intelligent machinery for direct grain harvesting, which can complete multiple operations including corn ear picking and threshing in a single pass. From harvesting ears in the past to harvesting kernels now, the corn kernels never touch the ground throughout the entire process, ensuring improved quality and reduced losses in the autumn grain harvest.
