Overlooking
On the evening of October 7, the last day of the National Day holiday, Shizhuang Village, Ningguo Town, Shanyang District, Jiaozuo City, the sky was raining, and the autumn wind was particularly cool, Shi Qiaoyun and his family were wearing rain pants, in the waist-deep cornfield, one foot deep and one foot shallow to break the corn.
Shi Qiaoyun has been in the water with her family for two consecutive weeks to harvest corn in the water, and she still has nearly 20 acres of corn soaked in water that has not been harvested. She said that 5 people, a day can also harvest 1 acre and 2 points of land, such as not affected, like in previous years, with machinery to harvest an acre of land for up to 20 minutes, since July this year continued heavy rainfall, although the crops did not fail to harvest, but the yield reduction is very severe, more difficult is to harvest corn.
Grab the harvest
Since July, affected by heavy rainfall, the flood storage area has experienced the superimposed effects of multiple floods, flood storage and continuous rainfall, and some areas on both sides of the Weihe Gongqu, Qinhe and Jialu Rivers (some counties and districts of Xinxiang, Hebi, Anyang, Jiaozuo and Zhoukou) have reduced production in some fields in addition to crop failures, until harvest, There is also water with a maximum water level of 1.5 meters in the field, and everywhere you can see fellow villagers wearing rain pants in fields full of water, they are racing against the weather and time, struggling to harvest crops such as corn and peanuts that have been affected, so that the grains can be returned to the warehouse.
Together
On October 2, Li Jianzhong, a farmer in Xiaosi Village, Baixiang Town, Qinyang City, who was carrying a bag of corn wading from the cornfield to the ground, said: "The crops he planted by his own hands are ripe, although the disaster has reduced production, it is no longer difficult to let it drift."
Burden
There are many farmers like Li Jianzhong, who are actively fighting against the flood and grabbing autumn grain in the water. The villagers in the disaster-stricken areas have overcome many difficulties, ensured food security with infinite wisdom, and strived to return the granules to the warehouse. The strong will and spirit of the peasants to defend grain have interpreted a vivid and touching autumn harvest story in the Central Plains.
liability
Some of the affected county and district governments in Xinxiang, Hebi, Anyang, Jiaozuo, and Zhoukou worked with the peasants to fight the disaster with one heart, organized the dredging of ditches, and rushed to drain the accumulated water in the fields, so as to create conditions for the timely harvest of autumn crops and buy time for agricultural machinery to enter the ground as soon as possible. At the same time, various localities have successively carried out the action of "reducing losses" in grain machine harvesting, vigorously promoting mechanized grain harvesting of corn and mechanized harvesting of peanuts, increasing drying machinery, and carrying out drying operations to prevent mildew and ensure that grain particles are returned to the warehouse.
