[On the Field of Hope] The national autumn grain harvest has entered its peak period, with progress exceeding 60%

CCTV News Client News (News Broadcast): The latest agricultural dispatch from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that the national autumn grain harvest has entered its peak period, with progress exceeding 60%.

The area and output of autumn grains in the Northeast account for nearly 40% of the country's autumn grains. The meteorological conditions during the autumn grain growth period in most parts of the Northeast this year are generally favorable, which is conducive to grain filling and safe maturation, and the yield situation is good. In the 260-acre soybean yield-increasing field at 856 Farm in Beidahuang, Heilongjiang, the expert team conducted actual harvest testing and obtained an average yield of 683.63 kilograms per mu, setting a new high-yield record for soybean fields in Heilongjiang.

The area and output of autumn grains in Huanghuaihai account for about one-quarter of the country's autumn grains. In Yingshang, Anhui, 720,000 acres of rice are gradually maturing, ushering in a large-scale harvest. The local area has invested 100,000 units (sets) of various agricultural machinery, including more than 2,600 crawler harvesters, and has set up 108 grain drying points to prevent the harvest progress from being affected by wet soil or sudden rainfall.

The weather in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River has been fine recently and the temperature is suitable, which is conducive to the filling and maturation of late rice. The weather situation in the southwest region this year is generally good, and the disasters are obviously light. Autumn grain growth in the northwest region is good and harvest is accelerating.

Since this year's autumn harvest, the autumn harvest in the country's main autumn grain producing areas has been progressing relatively smoothly, slightly faster than normal, and the autumn grain harvest is expected to be bumper again.
