抢抓农时，确保夏粮颗粒归仓
Across China’s major wheat-producing regions, the summer harvest is in full swing. Farmers are racing against time to bring in the crop, using large-scale mechanized reaping. This period, known as the ‘three summer’ season, is crucial. The wheat must be harvested quickly to avoid weather damage and to allow timely planting of the next crop.
Seizing this narrow window matters for China’s grain security. A delay can lead to losses from rain or pests, reducing the overall yield. In 2023, similar weather threats pushed authorities to dispatch thousands of harvesters to speed up the process. Today, over 97 percent of wheat harvesting is done by machines, but farmers still face tradeoffs. Faster harvesting can mean higher grain moisture, which requires extra drying. Balancing speed and quality is a constant challenge.
