农业大省秋雨夺粮 力保秋粮颗粒归仓

Core Viewpoint - Henan province, utilizing less than 1/16 of the nation's arable land, produces nearly 1/4 of China's grain, but is currently facing severe challenges in autumn harvest due to increased rainfall, which has been 2.4 times higher than usual since September [2]. Group 1: Weather Impact on Harvest - Since September 30, rainfall in Henan has exceeded 25mm in most areas, with some regions receiving over 100mm, leading to muddy and soft soil conditions that complicate harvesting efforts [2]. - Farmers are urged to take advantage of breaks in rainfall to conduct urgent harvesting, drying, and sunning operations to mitigate the impact of the weather on the autumn harvest [2]. Group 2: Agricultural Machinery and Support - The use of tracked harvesters has become essential for harvesting in muddy conditions, as traditional harvesters are unable to operate effectively [4]. - In Huojia County, three drying machines are operational, processing 440 tons of corn daily, and have been running continuously for two weeks to support local farmers [4]. Group 3: Coordination and Preparedness - Huojia County's agricultural machinery service center is conducting a comprehensive survey of machinery availability and has repaired 94 tracked harvesters to ensure efficient harvesting [5]. - A WeChat group has been established for machinery coordination, with over 300 tracked harvesters from Hubei and Anhui provinces on standby for emergency support [5]. - As of October 4, 6485 million acres of autumn crops have been harvested in Henan, accounting for 55% of the total, with a daily harvesting rate of 4.31 million acres [5].
