The price advantage is obvious. The sown area of superior wheat increases.

The sowing of winter wheat in the main producing areas is basically over.

Recently, the reporter investigated the sowing of winter wheat in Henan, Hebei, Shandong and other provinces. up to now, the planting of winter wheat in the main producing areas is nearing completion, of which Henan and other provinces have finished sowing.

According to the analysis of the varieties and areas of winter wheat sown in the main producing areas, the characteristics of sowing winter wheat in the main producing areas this year are different from those in previous years, due to the great difference in the prices of high-quality wheat and common wheat in the past two years. Farmers in many areas, especially large grain growers, choose to sow high-quality wheat.

The reporter learned from the Henan Provincial Department of Agriculture and other departments that the sown area of winter wheat in Henan Province this year is about 80 million mu, and the total sown area is expected to increase slightly over last year. At present, the emergence area is 66.47 million mu. During the wheat sowing period, the weather conditions in the province were better, and a rainfall process occurred throughout the province, which not only alleviated the drought and supplemented the soil moisture, but also created conditions for the smooth emergence of wheat seedlings. Due to the concentrated sowing time of winter wheat in the province, most of the wheat sowing work is completed within the suitable sowing time, which makes the emergence of wheat in the province generally neat and uniform.

"the sown area of Xinmai 26, a high-quality wheat variety, has increased significantly. Many farmers in Yanjin County, Huixian County and other places have selected Xinmai 26." Yu Chunwei, an agricultural material and seed operator in Yanjin County, told reporters that during the wheat sowing period, sales of high-quality wheat seeds such as Xinmai 26 were very large, mainly because the market price of high-quality wheat was significantly higher than that of ordinary wheat in recent years, which increased the enthusiasm of farmers to grow high-quality wheat. At present, the outgoing price of Xinmai 26 in the northern part of Henan Province is 2850, 2920 yuan / ton, and that of common wheat is 2360-2460 yuan / ton.

At present, the sowing of winter wheat in Shandong Province is coming to an end. Due to the lack of soil moisture, farmers in many areas are watering wheat. Recently, there has been rain in some parts of Shandong Province. although the rainfall is not too heavy, it alleviates the drought and is conducive to the emergence of winter wheat. " Wang Yingzhong, business director of the first Grain Depot in Jining City, told reporters that the sown area of winter wheat in Shandong Province was the same as last year or slightly increased. During the wheat sowing period, although the relevant departments did not vigorously guide farmers to plant high-quality wheat, large land transfer households introduced and planted a large area of high-quality wheat, mainly from the perspective of higher income.

During the interview, the reporter learned that in order to adjust the agricultural planting structure and control the problem of over-exploitation of groundwater, the sown area of winter wheat in Hebei Province this year is the same or slightly reduced as last year, and the sown area of winter wheat in Hebei Province this year is about 34 million mu. However, in order to stabilize and enhance wheat production capacity, the Hebei provincial government will continue to allocate funds to support the deep loosening of agricultural machinery this year, and the subsidy standard has also been raised. This is beneficial to the increase of per unit yield of winter wheat, and the total yield of wheat in Hebei Province will not be affected by the possible reduction of area.

"the sowing of winter wheat in Hubei, Anhui and other provinces is progressing smoothly, and it is estimated that the sown area is still steadily increasing." According to Liu Shuwei, a grain and oil trader in Jingzhou City, due to the low purchase price of rapeseed this year and the unsatisfactory income from planting cotton, many farmers in Hubei and Anhui have changed their rape and cotton fields to wheat. It is understood that the soil moisture in Hubei and other southern regions is good, and the sowing of winter wheat is progressing smoothly.
