Summer grain will win a good harvest of winter wheat is expected to increase by eight

In the land of the Central Plains, the sound of the machine is rumbling and the smell of wheat is diffuse. On May 30th, the Ministry of Agriculture held the 2011 Wheat Interregional Launching Ceremony in Nanyang City, Henan Province, marking the commencement of the summer harvest in the national wheat production area. Han Changfu, Minister of Agriculture, said at the launching ceremony that at present, the summer grain harvest in Southwest China has passed 80%, and wheat in Huanghuaihai Wheat Area has entered a mature harvest period. According to the agricultural dispatching and expert analysis of the Ministry of Agriculture, this summer, the summer crop will enjoy a bumper harvest, and winter wheat production is expected to increase for the eighth consecutive year. Summer harvest rapeseed will achieve recovery production.

Han Changfu introduced several features of summer grain production this year: First, the area has steadily increased. The area of ​​summer grain is expected to reach 415 million mu, an increase of more than 3 million mu over the previous year, laying a solid foundation for the increase of summer grain production. The second is that the yield has improved. According to the survey of the Wheat Experts Group of the Ministry of Agriculture, of the three factors of winter wheat production this year, the number of ears per mu has increased, the number of grains per ear has increased slightly, and the grain weight may decrease slightly. It is expected that the yield per unit will be higher than that of the previous year. Third, the contribution of increasing production in the southwest region was outstanding. Last year, due to the devastating drought in the southwestern region, the output of summer grain was reduced by more than 3 billion kilograms. This year, the climate conditions are generally favorable, field management measures are in place, and summer grain is expected to achieve recovery and yield increase. Fourth, most major producing areas are expected to increase production. The provinces of Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Anhui, and Jiangsu have reported that summer grains are increasing production.

Han Changfu pointed out that this summer's grain and oil production will overcome the severe challenges of severe natural disasters such as severe drought and low-temperature frost damage, and it is expected to achieve recovery and production increase. This is mainly due to the great attention given by the Party Central Committee and the State Council. The State Council convened 4 executive meetings of the State Council and 2 national working conferences within 50 days, conducted special studies on the deployment of food and agricultural work, and issued a series of policies and measures to support grain production and drought-resistant pouring of wheat, and deployed and implemented the 2011 national grain production increase action. . All localities and departments have earnestly implemented the central government's policy of strengthening agriculture, benefiting agriculture, and effectively implementing various national plans for increasing grain production. The agricultural science and technology workers gave careful guidance, hundreds of millions of farmers scientifically farmed, and 2,000 mu demonstration plots were created for high-yield production, which was doubling from the previous year; the “one spray and three defenses” was 200 million mu, an increase of 30 million mu; the wheat pest and disease prevention system It has ruled 100 million mu times and increased 20 million mu times. The key yield-enhancing technologies have fully surpassed last year, which has effectively promoted the transformation and upgrading of wheat seedlings and the formation of yields.

At present, the key period of “Longkou Food Harvesting”, the Ministry of Agriculture requires all levels of the agricultural sector to insist on summer crops to hand in one day, manage to relax for one day, further intensify work, strengthen measures, pay close attention to the field management of wheat in the later period, and carefully organize trans-regional Machine harvesting, early summer preparations, timely summer field management, go all out to ensure that the summer grain harvest hand, autumn grain seed full. It is understood that this year's “Three Summers” is expected to invest more than 14 million sets of agricultural machinery to participate in the grab-and-grab operation, including 490,000 sets of wheat combine harvesters, an increase of 20,000 units over the previous year, and the participation of cross-regional machine harvesters has reached 31 million units.

During the launching ceremony, Han Changfu condoled the on-site meteorological staff, oil supply service staff, agricultural machinery production service personnel, representatives of agricultural machinery cooperatives, farm machinery operators, etc., and walked into the wheat fields to carefully inspect the wheat harvesting operations. The agricultural sector has been squeezing the fine weather, stepping up the harvest, and trying hard to fight the hardships across regions.

Guo Gengmao, governor of Henan Province, delivered a speech at the launching ceremony of the cross-regional harvesting of wheat. Vice Governor Liu Mancang and others attended relevant activities. Chen Mengshan, chief economist of the Ministry of Agriculture, presided over the launching ceremony. Relevant persons in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Communications, the National Weather Service, Sinopec, and China National Petroleum Corporation attended the launching ceremony.
