Autumn harvest tops 40% Machines speed field work

Date unknown

CCTV cites agriculture-ministry data that more than 40 percent of China's autumn grain has been harvested. It reports Heilongjiang's more than 68 million mu, Youyi's mechanized and contract-grown glutinous rice, nearly half of Liaoning's harvest and corn-stalk conservation tillage in Changtu. Hebei reports nearly 31 million mu of corn harvested, about 60 percent, with 810,000 machinery units and integrated harvesting, drying and storage. Anhui reports over 30 percent harvested and direct-kernel machinery in Guoyang to reduce handling losses. These local areas, rates and operational descriptions retain their separate scope; the national harvest remains underway.

CCTV reports rice harvesting in southwestern China, where Guizhou has added over 220,000 small machines and Sichuan has harvested more than 11 million mu of hilly-area rice. A farmer describes easier mechanized work after farmland upgrades. Northeastern farmers are harvesting after flood-recovery measures in Liuhe and Tongjiang; stable or higher output is an expectation. In the Huang-Huai-Hai region, forecast rain is prompting rapid corn harvesting and drying. Henan has mobilized emergency teams and machinery, while all 48 drying facilities in Shandong's Yuncheng county are operating at capacity. Show 22 adds a national review of the season's production capacity: expansion of the yield initiative to 1,000 counties and 20 cities, Huidong rice largely spared after rapid typhoon drainage, ongoing Ili Valley corn yield assessments and drying capacity reported at 68.1 percent. It recalls Xi's June Dezhou farm visit and a record summer harvest above 150 million tonnes. Experts credit technology and disaster response, while autumn record output remains an expectation. The September 26 update cites Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs monitoring showing nearly 20 percent harvested nationally, more than half in the southwest and over 30 percent along the middle and lower Yangtze. Rain prompts tracked-harvester use in Ezhou and immediate drying of wet corn in Zhoukou, where a worker reports 800–1,000 tonnes processed daily. A Hegang soybean demonstration base reports harvesting capacity of 1,000 mu a day and average yields above 450 jin per mu. The ministry plans region-specific field management and early machinery coordination. These are current progress and local reported results, not a completed national harvest. The September 29 bulletin shows rice harvesting after farmland upgrades at Hongguang Farm in Jilin and targeted machinery subsidies in Shouning, Fujian. Chiping uses an online machinery-matching service for corn; Anhui reports nearly four million mu harvested, over 21 percent, while Linquan uses BeiDou-equipped harvesters. A Wudalianchi technical official reports an 8 percent soybean yield improvement from integrated methods. Provincial areas and local yield claims remain distinct. The separate agriculture briefing says a bumper annual harvest is expected, not completed. The October 3 roundup cites ministry monitoring showing over 30% harvested, ahead of last year's pace. It reports Qapqal's new 10,000-mu corn demonstration average of 1,609.4kg/mu, a farmer's separately scoped increase, Nenbei soybean results and Jiangsu rice-planthopper inspections and treatment exceeding 80 million mu-times, with a direct AI-glasses demonstration. National spraying support and late-October harvest expectations provide context; repeated treatment area is not unique farmland and national completion remains prospective. CCTV's October 7 bulletin cites ministry data showing more than 40 percent of autumn grain harvested nationally. It adds Heilongjiang's more than 68 million mu, nearly half of Liaoning's harvest, Hebei's nearly 31 million mu of corn (about 60 percent) and Anhui's over 30 percent progress, alongside mechanization, tillage, drying and storage measures. Regional measurements retain their separate scope, and the national harvest remains underway.
