[Explanation] In the past few days, rice and middle rice in various parts of Hunan have ushered in bumper harvests, but more than 20 consecutive days of rain caused some rice to fall over, pile up, and germinate, causing difficulties in harvesting for many farmers and causing food loss.

For this reason, public officials and Communist Party members in many places have taken advantage of the holidays to go down to the fields to help farmers rush to harvest.

  Wu Xiaojing is a large rice planter in Liangtian Town, Suxian District, Chenzhou City. He has more than 300 mu of medium rice. At present, there are still more than 20 mu of medium rice that has not been harvested due to rainy weather.

Facing the unharvested sprouting rice, he was anxious.

  It sprouted and became a seedling, so we can't use this as a seed.

In this way, the loss is relatively large.

I preliminarily calculated, including the loss of our harvest (paddy), including the sprouting (paddy), these (losses) should be about 300,000 yuan.

  [Explanation] The reporter learned that under the influence of rain, there are more than 3000 mu of unharvested rice in 9 mountain villages in Liangtian Town.

In order to solve the urgent need of the "Wu Xiaojing", the local party committee and government extended a helping hand in time. On the one hand, they provided early warning of cooling and rainfall, and actively contacted insurance companies to help farmers with disaster verification and agricultural insurance claims; on the other hand, they sent public officials and Communist Party members. Assist farmers to harvest in different areas.

  Liu Fagu, a poor household in Dazhushan Village, Liangtian Town, planted 4 acres of medium rice. It hasn't been sunny, and the annual harvest will come to naught. 30 party members in the village were mobilized to grab the rice for him.

  According to the original weather, it would take me ten days to harvest (the rice).

(Now) the village leaders organized all the party members (helped me to collect them), and it is likely to be finished in a day or two. I am very grateful to the village leaders and all party members.

  [Explanation] It is reported that Liangtian Town has rushed to harvest more than 4 million catties of rice and 150,000 catties of hybrid rice seeds, equivalent to more than 7 million yuan.

However, because the sky is not beautiful and the drying capacity is limited, it is difficult to remove the moisture of the rice that has been recovered for preservation.

  In order to maximize the loss of farmers, the agricultural department contacted and mobilized two companies with large-scale baking equipment to purchase rice-containing and germinated rice at a price of 110 yuan and 100 jin. At present, more than 300,000 jin has been purchased. All due.

At the same time, a number of flue-curing rooms in tobacco-growing villages were temporarily deployed to help farmers dry rice.

  (We) sent technicians to instruct the masses to use soil methods to dry the rice piled at home in time, use an electric fan to dry it, and use a tobacco-curing room nearby to dry the surrounding wet rice.
