When the wheat harvest is approaching, there will suddenly be vendors selling sickles, brooms, and straw hats in the market, and they will meet the harvesters on the road to rush back and forth, and whenever they see this scene, they know that the wheat harvest is coming.
People living in the countryside know what the summer harvest means, and the most impressive experience of those who have done farm work before is that they are tired to death. As a person born in the countryside, whenever this season comes to mind, I always have the scene of the rural wheat harvest in my mind.
When the land is first divided, people harvest wheat with sickles, and they always get up early to avoid the poisonous sun. Rows of wheat were cut off with a sickle, and sweat soaked through the clothes. After harvesting, it is pulled by a rack cart, pulled into a wheat field and pressed with cattle, repeatedly... Heck, needless to say, it's just hard to look back on.
Today, the times are developing, and the years of harvesting entirely by manpower are gone. The old people in the countryside are sighing: Now people enjoy more blessings! The harvester went back and forth to the ground several times, and the harvested wheat was poured into the agricultural tricycle and pulled home directly. The summer harvest is no longer a big deal for farmers. Although the responsible fields are planted, mechanized harvesting has become quite common. Today, the large mature wheat field is still rolling with golden waves, and after the roar of the combine harvester overnight, it will disappear the next day. Large bags of wheat have been piled up at home, just waiting to be dried. In recent years, it has become easier to pull the harvested wheat from the field directly to the flour mill or some grain harvesting vendors. After the summer harvest, there was no wheat in the house, only a pile of banknotes. Some small pieces of wheat fields, harvested with a sickle, were quickly solved with a threshing machine. Therefore, farmers no longer worry about the busy summer harvest. Bai Juyi's song: "The Tian family is less idle in the month, and the people in May are busy" The scene is also gradually fading away.
The current summer harvest is unbelievably fast, and the golden yellow of a place is gone in a few days. After the wheat harvest, after some time, the field will become green and lush. Now the summer harvest is simply the machine is busy, the people who cultivate the land are just to build the machine, no wonder the state wants to advocate agricultural mechanization in the countryside, advocate large-scale intensive planting. I can't imagine what the countryside of the future will look like, maybe there will be farmers like foreign countries, and landless farmers will all go to the cities. I think that kind of situation will definitely appear.
