China News Service, July 9th. According to the website of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the southern early rice will enter the concentrated harvesting period in mid-July.

A few days ago, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs made arrangements for the reduction of early rice mechanical harvest in the double-cropping rice-producing areas, requiring agricultural and rural departments at all levels to firmly establish the awareness of "reducing loss is increasing production", and making mechanical harvest reduction the top priority of the "double grab" mechanized production work. , The chief of the department and bureau will personally monitor and take charge of the leadership, implement the management and service measures of the detailed agricultural machinery, comprehensively improve the quality of early rice mechanized harvesting, and further consolidate the foundation for the increase in grain production throughout the year.

  The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs requires that Hunan Province, Jiangxi Province, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Guangdong Province, Hubei Province, Zhejiang Province, Fujian Province and other double-cropping rice producing areas should learn from the work experience of wheat harvesting and loss reduction in this year’s "three summers" and focus on early rice harvesting. Carry out large-scale publicity, large-scale training, and large-scale competition activities, implement various measures such as detailed operator training, machine scheduling, service guarantee, and emergency response to ensure the order of the early rice harvest market is stable, the speed of advancement is fast, and the quality of the machine harvest is high. Further reduce the loss of rice harvest and post-production, and strive to realize the return of pellets.

  The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs emphasized that all localities should pay close attention to the weather changes during the "double grab" period, and formulate emergency plans for disaster prevention and relief of agricultural mechanization in response to possible floods and rainfall that may cause farmland water accumulation, crop lodging due to disasters, and local shortage of machinery supplies. Make preparations for the scheduling of crawler harvesters, match the supply and demand of drying machinery and maintenance and repair of farmland drainage equipment to ensure organic harvesting of rice ripening, organic drying of wet grains, and drainage of field waterlogging, and do everything possible to reduce the loss of early rice harvesting and speed up the mechanization of late rice. Planting progress.

  In the near future, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will send 4 working groups to the double-cropping rice-producing areas to guide the implementation of mechanical harvest reduction measures.
