Since late May, China's main summer wheat crop has gradually entered the concentrated harvest period from south to north. As of 16:00 on May 28th, 65 million mu of wheat has been harvested nationwide, and the harvest progress is about 20%. Among them, the wheat harvest in Sichuan is coming to an end, the harvest progress in Hubei is over 90%, Henan is over 30%, and Anhui is over 20%. "Three summers" (short for Summer Harvest, Summer Seeds, and Summer Tubes, is the first busy year of the year, starting in late May every year and ending in mid-June).
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs pointed out that it is necessary to make unremitting efforts to deal with the tough battle of cross-regional operation of agricultural machinery under the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, to ensure that the total input of summer harvesting and summer planting and summer management equipment has increased steadily, the operation level has risen steadily, and the operation market Stable and orderly, strive to transform summer grains from "harvest in sight" to "abundance in harvest", sowing autumn grains during high-yield periods to provide support for stabilizing grain production throughout the year and ensuring grain security.
According to statistics, 16.4 million sets of various agricultural machinery and 3.2 million agricultural machinery operators will be put into production services for this year's "Three Summers" this year, which will help the main production areas of summer harvest, summer planting and summer management to achieve full mechanization. A total of 650,000 sets of combine harvesters were organized and dispatched to participate in the summer harvest, an increase of 10,000 units year-on-year. The proportion of models with a large feed volume of more than 8 kg reached 70%, an increase of 10% year-on-year. It is expected that the wheat machine yield and corn machine sowing rate in the main producing areas of Huanghuaihai will reach 96% and 90% respectively.
In order to cope with the influence of uncertain factors such as epidemic situation and weather, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs specially formulated the "Three Summers" agricultural machinery inter-regional emergency response work plan, opened a national operation information service platform, and properly responded to possible cross-regional transfer of agricultural machinery and wheat harvesting machinery Unbalanced supply and demand.
