The national autumn harvest progress has exceeded 60%, and the main producing areas are catching up with the farming season to accelerate the autumn grain harvest.
Heihe City, Heilongjiang is the prefecture-level city with the largest soybean planting area in the country. This year, soybean planted nearly 15.7 million mu, an increase of more than 3 million mu compared with last year, and the expanded planting area accounts for one-third of the province.
In the past few days, Heihe soybeans have entered a concentrated harvest period.
Gai Yongfeng, a big grain grower in Heihe City, Heilongjiang Province:
(In the past, if he could grow more than 300 jins to 400 jins per mu), that is a very high yield, but this year it has reached more than 400 jins, or even higher, and some can reach More than 500 pounds.
In Da'an City, Jilin Province, 30,000 mu of saline-alkali land has been harvested on a large scale.
A year ago, this place was a barren saline-alkali land. This year, organic fertilizers and amendments were applied to the soil to reduce the soil salinity and achieve a bumper rice harvest.
Dong Yaodong, a technician in saline-alkali land improvement in Da'an City, Jilin Province:
After our actual production and yield measurement, the average yield per mu has exceeded 560 kilograms.
In Luohe, Henan Province, due to the drought and lack of rain this summer, the planting of some corn was delayed. More than half of the more than 300,000 mu of corn in Linying County adopted appropriate late harvesting techniques to make up for the corn growing season.
Wang Wuchuang, a major grain grower in Linying County, Luohe City, Henan Province: The
harvest is about a week later than in previous years, the growing season is extended, the light is sufficient, the thousand-grain weight has increased, and the yield per mu (compared to last year) has increased by about 50 to 60 kilograms.
In Changxing, Zhejiang, through the full integration and management of resources such as abandoned fish ponds and idle sloping land, the area of rice has been effectively expanded. This year, the county's rice planted more than 260,000 mu and is gradually entering the harvest period.
At present, nearly 700,000 mu of medium-sized rice in Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province is fully mature, and the local area is stepping up efforts to promote the safe production of agricultural machinery, improve the efficiency of machinery harvesting, and ensure the return of grain particles to the warehouse.
Tu Xuming, a major grain grower in Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province:
The medium rice is growing very well. It is estimated that the yield (per mu) is around 1,300 to 1,400 (jin), an increase of more than 100 catties over last year.
Up to now, 863 million mu of autumn grain has been harvested in the country, 66% completed, and the progress is 2.1 percentage points faster than the same period of the previous year.
