Xinhua News Agency, Hohhot, September 3rd. Liu Guozhong, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council, visited Inner Mongolia from the 1st to the 3rd. He emphasized that it is necessary to thoroughly implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition on "agriculture, rural areas and farmers". In accordance with the deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, we must pay close attention to key links in autumn grain production, effectively prevent and reduce agricultural disasters, strive to achieve a bumper harvest of autumn grains, continue to consolidate the foundation of national food security, and provide strong support for high-quality economic and social development.
Liu Guozhong visited Tongliao City's Kezuo Middle Banner, Horqin District, Kailu County, and Kezuohou Banner, and went deep into the fields to inspect the growth of corn and soybeans, increase in yield, disaster prevention and reduction, and agricultural services. He emphasized that autumn grain accounts for 3/4 of the annual grain production, and it is now a critical period for production formation. It is necessary to scientifically carry out autumn grain field management by zoning and classification, promptly implement measures to stabilize and increase production such as "one spray for multiple boosts", promote the integration of good fields, good seeds, good opportunities and good methods to increase efficiency, and promote a large-area balanced increase in production. We must focus on fighting disasters and winning a bumper harvest, strengthen monitoring, early warning, prevention and response to meteorological disasters, timely reserve and dispatch emergency agricultural machinery, vigorously improve autumn grain harvesting and drying capabilities, and effectively carry out unified prevention and control of pests and diseases. It is necessary to give full play to the role of new agricultural business entities such as farmers' cooperatives, actively develop agricultural social services, and strive to improve the quality and efficiency of grain production. It is necessary to implement various support policies for autumn grain production, ensure supply and stable prices of agricultural inputs such as fertilizers, and plan early purchase and storage plans to effectively protect farmers' income from growing grain.
During the investigation, Liu Guozhong also learned in detail about high-standard farmland construction and black soil protection, seed industry revitalization, agricultural technology promotion, agricultural water conservation, etc. He emphasized that the strategy of storing grain in the land and storing grain in technology must be consistently implemented to effectively enhance the comprehensive grain production capacity. It is necessary to promote high-standard farmland construction with high quality, continue to carry out farmland ditch repair and improvement and plain waterlogged area management, and implement black soil protective farming measures according to local conditions. It is necessary to accelerate the application of artificial intelligence and the development of smart agriculture, actively select and promote breakthrough varieties, vigorously promote advanced and applicable agricultural technologies such as precision control of dense planting, intensify the research and development and application of high-end intelligent, agricultural machinery and equipment suitable for hilly and mountainous areas, and play the supporting role of agricultural science and technology. It is necessary to adhere to "major stability and minor adjustments" and steadily promote the extension of the second round of land contracting for another thirty years after the expiration of the pilot project. It is necessary to strengthen agricultural water conservation and increase efficiency, deepen the comprehensive reform of agricultural water prices, actively promote technical measures such as water and fertilizer integration, shallow buried drip irrigation, and empower the development of modern agriculture with efficient water conservation.
