How to save the rice in Poyang Lake area?
——Visit and Heard of the Major Grain Producing Counties in Jiangxi Province (Part 1)
As an important grain production area in my country, Poyang Lake District, the surrounding Poyang County, Yugan County, and Duchang County are all major grain-producing counties in Jiangxi. At this time in previous years, it was the busiest time of the year when early rice was harvested and dried, and late rice was planted. But this year a catastrophic flood disrupted everything.
Up to now, the direct economic losses caused by floods in the agricultural and rural areas of Jiangxi Province have reached 10.07 billion yuan, and the agricultural area has been affected by 13.169 million mu.
Currently, how to save the rice in Poyang Lake District? Facing the catastrophic flood disasters, the broad masses of cadres and the masses took the initiative to take the initiative, and did not slack in agricultural flood prevention and flood control and post-disaster production recovery, and effectively reduced disaster losses.
On July 22, the machine rumbling in the rice fields of Cheng Yonghua, a large grain grower in Shifeng Village, Mingshan Township, Duchang County, several harvesters transferred from other places were rushing to harvest early rice. He said: "Unexpectedly, a flood caused me heavy losses. I harvested more than 300,000 catties of rice last year. This year, more than 80,000 catties of rice were harvested on more than 300 mu of land, and the loss was more than 100,000 yuan. I didn't cry. "
In the rice fields of Cha Benqiang, a major grain grower in Dongsheng Village, Wanhu Town, the reporter saw another scene: a group of young people holding sickles in the water to help harvest early rice. Zhu Enqing, the mayor of Wanhu Town, introduced that they are a youth commando team sent by the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. There are 12 members to help agriculture fight floods.
Zhu Zhiming, deputy director of the Yugan County Agriculture and Rural Bureau, introduced that in order to grab the harvesting progress, the county strengthened contact with the Agricultural Machinery Department of Jiangxi Province and actively coordinated more than 4490 harvesters for cross-regional operations to participate in the harvesting operations in Yugan. As of July 25, the county rushed to harvest a total of 846,200 mu of early rice, so that it did not miss production and farming time.
It is understood that when the flood comes, the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the local party committee, and the government acted urgently to dispatch 79,000 harvesters every day to grab early rice in the disaster-stricken areas and flood-flooding areas. For lodging fields without mechanical harvesting conditions, organize manpower for manual harvesting to minimize losses.
What do you do after the grab? Grab the bake!
According to the visits, there are two types of drying, one is a large-scale rice planting plant that has its own drying plant, and the other is a special-operated rice drying plant. Jiangxi Penghui High-tech Grain Industry Company belongs to the former.
"The rice that we rushed to harvest at our base was directly loaded into the drying plant by truck and dried in time. After several days of intense work, the early rice harvesting and drying work was successfully completed, and all the dried rice was put into storage." Jiangxi Penghui High-tech Grain Said Chen Chong, general manager of the company.
What about those rice growers who do not have drying plants? In order to ensure the timely drying of early rice that was harvested, the Yugan County Party Committee and the county government attached great importance to it and set up 6 dry-drying working groups to fully mobilize drying enterprises to join the dry-drying work. More than 1,300 grain dryers in the county were fully operational Horsepower, but still can not meet the drying needs.
Yugan County arranged special personnel to contact drying enterprises in neighboring counties and cities such as Nanchang, Yingtan, Jinxian, etc., to negotiate drying and purchase matters, and to ensure that the early rice that was rushed to be dried could be dried in time.
Not only Yu Gan did this, but also other major grain-producing counties. According to incomplete statistics, the whole province of Jiangxi has deployed 10,711 paddy drying equipment, which basically realizes "should be robbed and dried."
At the same time, rush to plant late rice.
In Poyang, the county made every effort to seize the opportunity and insisted on "where the flood recedes, the late rice will be planted", focusing on the second night of rice replanting and expanding, and doing everything possible to stabilize this year's grain and agricultural production.
In Yugan, in order to minimize the losses caused by the disaster, the agricultural and rural departments stepped up contact with seed and agricultural material enterprises to urgently dispatch 100,000 catties of disaster relief seeds. Fully ensure that farmers do not lack seeds for self-help. The agricultural and rural departments set up 6 agricultural technical service groups to carry out technical guidance services in the front line of production.
In order to effectively minimize agricultural losses, the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has sent 4 batches of 45 work steering groups to the hardest hit areas to supervise and guide agricultural and rural flood control and disaster relief work. Up to now, 13.935 million mu of late rice has been planted in Jiangxi Province.
