It lasted 24 days and the basic conclusion of the cross-regional wheat harvest battle of "three summers" across the country.

Xinhua Beijing, June 25 (Reporter Dong Jun) since the national "three summer" wheat harvesting campaign was launched in Zhumadian City, Henan Province on June 1, it has gradually advanced from south to north. Anhui, Jiangsu, Henan, Shandong, Hebei and other major wheat producing areas have achieved success one after another. The cross-regional wheat harvesting campaign across the country basically ended and lasted 24 days.

As of the evening of the 24th, 314 million mu of wheat had been harvested nationwide, accounting for 92% of the wheat receivable area, of which the machine harvest area was 270 million mu, accounting for 86.01% of the total. More than 30 million mu of spring wheat in the northwest and northeast regions will be harvested one after another in early July.

A person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture said on the 25th that due to the influence of abnormal weather, the ripening time of wheat in various places was generally 7 to 10 days later than that of the previous year, and the main wheat producing areas matured centrally, the farming time was urgent, and the task of summer harvest and summer planting was very heavy. The Ministry of Agriculture made arrangements ahead of time, various departments cooperated closely, and local agricultural machinery departments strengthened the dispatching of machinery and tools, highlighted the word "snatch", went all out to speed up the progress of operations, and achieved the goal of seizing time, harvesting and seeds, and made important contributions to the return of summer grain granules to warehouses and autumn grain production.

This year, the wheat inter-regional machine harvest battle was carried out in 1190 wheat production counties (cities) in 18 provinces across the country, and the scale of the operation was further expanded compared with last year. During the "Sanxia" period, the main producing provinces invested a total of 14 million sets of agricultural machinery and tools to participate in the rush harvest and seed rush operation, of which 470000 were wheat combine harvesters, an increase of 30,000 over last year, and the number of combine harvesters participating in cross-district operations reached 300000, an increase of 20,000.

In view of the characteristics of frequent thunderstorms in the wheat area in mid-June, the local agricultural mechanization departments in charge of scientific dispatching machinery, fighting for sunny days and overcast rain, and working at full power to rush to harvest and rush seeds day and night. The daily number of combine harvesters is as high as 414000, and the daily wheat harvest area is as high as 27.76 million mu, exceeding 20 million mu for five consecutive days and more than 10 million mu for 11 consecutive days, all of which have set a new record in the history of wheat harvest in our country. Although the large-scale wheat harvest in China started late this year, it made rapid progress in the later stage, which lasted 24 days, which was 4 days less than that of the previous year, which won the precious agricultural time for the next crop sowing and laid a good foundation for autumn grain production.

After the summer harvest, the summer seed begins immediately. At present, a total of 3.7 million sets of sowing (planting) machines have been put into operation throughout the country, with 120 million mu of corn and 9.86 million mu of rice.
