全国夏收小麦进度超96%，大规模机收落下帷幕
China’s summer wheat harvest has surpassed the 96 percent mark, bringing the main 2023 winter wheat campaign close to its end. Large-scale mechanized reaping across major growing areas is now essentially complete, according to the latest update from agricultural authorities. Farmers are tidying up the last few fields as combine harvesters stand down after weeks of intensive work.
The work is part of the “three summer” period, which covers harvesting, planting, and field management. Favorable weather during the ripening stage and the continuous deployment of high-efficiency combines helped accelerate progress. In provinces such as Henan and Shandong, large machines handled cutting, threshing, and cleaning in one pass, cutting labor needs. Officials note that the nationwide mechanized harvesting rate for wheat has stayed above 97 percent for several years.
