At present, the wheat harvest in Gaotai County is in full swing. All grain purchasing and processing enterprises are working at full capacity and working overtime to purchase and dry to ensure the return of summer grain grains to the warehouse.
At the wheat drying site of Gansu Xinliang Trading Co., Ltd., with the roar of the machine, the wheat is sent to the dryer for drying through the pit. While reducing management costs and improving production efficiency, it also brings tangible benefits to the grain growing masses. "This year, our cooperative planted 1,600 acres of wheat, and now 900 acres have been harvested, which will be sent to Gansu Xinliang Trading Company for drying with the harvest, which can not only ensure the timely planting of our second crop of oat grass, but also avoid the risk of mildew caused by rainwater erosion in the open air, and improve the quality and yield of our wheat." Meng Jiajun, director of the office of Jiuxi Agricultural Professional Cooperative, introduced.
It is the grain that is baked, and what is stable is the people's heart. After processing with drying equipment, not only can remove impurities, but also wet wheat becomes standard dry wheat, and the moisture content of wheat is reduced from about 17% to less than 12.5%, which comprehensively improves the quality of stored grain and ensures food security. "More than 1,000 tons of wet wheat have been purchased, and now we are drying and producing at full capacity, processing 300 tons of wet wheat per day, and can complete the drying task of wet wheat on more than 700 acres of land every day." Xue Wenjun, general manager of Gansu Xinliang Trading Co., Ltd., said.

So far, the county's wheat harvest area is 51,000 mu, and the purchase and processing are carried out simultaneously.
