In mid-July, more than 200,000 acres of winter wheat in the Kongtong District of Pingliang City, Gansu Province on the Loess Plateau completed the summer harvest "grain return". The small road leading to the wheat field is covered with grains of wheat and footprints. The farmer drives the harvester to "sweep" over the golden wheat fields and "grains the grains of summer grain into the bag".

The local agricultural machinery department set up a technical service team to enter the field, and organized the introduction of nearly 300 harvesters across the region to participate in the summer harvest with the local machinery. A total of 224.5 thousand acres of wheat were harvested by the combined machine. The average yield per mu was 267.5 kg after testing.
