It is a foregone conclusion that Hubei's grain output has been increasing continuously.

Based on the increase of 105 million kilograms of summer grain production in the province, Hubei Province has harvested more than half of the medium-season rice that accounts for the main output of autumn grain production from south to north, and it can harvest it at the end of this month. Xu Nenghai, deputy director of the Hubei Provincial Department of Agriculture, told reporters that Zhongfeng Rice, which accounts for the bulk of Hubei's autumn grain production, has received hands and is expected to increase production. The province's annual grain output can be achieved at the beginning of the year by the provincial party committee and the provincial government. Based on the goal of increasing production by 400 million kilograms on the basis of this, Hubei's grain production “eight consecutive increase” is a foregone conclusion.

This year, the grain planting area in Hubei Province is 61.8 million mu, an increase of 800,000 mu compared with last year. Although the summer grain production suffered a long-term drought, the rainfall was reduced by half, but fortunately, the precipitation dropped more evenly in the main wheat producing areas, and the wheat production still increased. Early rice was affected by the drought, which was a decrease of 180,000 mu compared with last year's 5.38 million mu planting area. The area has decreased slightly, but the yield has increased, and the total output has increased slightly. The production situation of medium rice is good. The planting area is 19,223,700 mu, which is an increase of 288,500 mu over the previous year. On September 17, the deputy director of the provincial Party committee's agricultural office Lu Jiangwen, director of the Provincial Department of Agriculture Zhu Jinshui, director of the Provincial Bureau of Statistics Mao Fengzao, and the head of the Hubei Bureau of Survey of the National Bureau of Statistics Li Xiaochao, etc., carried out three groups of Xujiachong village in Hongshan town in conjunction with the county to carry out the production of middle rice. Actually measured and measured, through the actual test production, the sample plots yielded 731.5 kilograms per mu, and the yield per unit increased compared to the previous year. The total output is expected to achieve a good harvest. 600 acres of late rice, 80% have been completed heading, only 20% of late-maturing varieties are heading, due to the "cold dew wind" advance one week in advance, may still affect the early part of the heading of a small part of the heading, but the province's food production overall situation There will be no big impact.

In Ningzuo Village, Kongfang Township, Yingshan County, the villagers of Fang Youchun’s holding the golden rice excitedly said: “My family planted 2.4 acres of medium rice, and this year the total output was 1650 kg, which was more than 110 kg per mu from last year, and there was another season. Regeneration rice is expected to produce more than 500 kilograms, and the same paddy field production may increase by more than 700 kilograms from last year. This is a good harvest, thanks to the high-yield and high-efficiency planting model demonstrated and promoted by the Provincial Department of Agriculture."

Deputy Director-General Xu Nenghai said that Hubei is facing a major drought once in a century. The Central Government is highly concerned about it. The provincial Party committee, the provincial government and all levels and departments have taken resolute and effective measures to implement artificial rainfall and water supply to the heavens to increase irrigation. Put water into rivers and lakes, and use machine wells for underground water. The disaster relief funds in the province will be opened the first day, and the relief funds will be allocated the next day. Special efforts will be made to tackle the disaster and ensure the harvest area of ​​food crops throughout the year.

The province’s agriculture department has adopted a number of science and technology to increase output and increase income to guide farmers to increase the science of farming. This year, dryland farming accounts for nearly 50% of the sown area. At the same time, techniques such as dry field and dry-wet alternate irrigation were implemented to ensure timely rice planting and reasonable water use. The support of science and technology to food production has been significantly increased. The provincial government has established requirements for high-yield production in conjunction with the Ministry of Agriculture. The supporting funds have been 80 million yuan, and the establishment of high-yield products has been actively promoted, integrating technologies such as seed, cultivation, insect removal, and fertilization. Through the unified organization and unified implementation, we have realized an increase in production and income. This year, the average increase in production of the park has been 20%. At the same time, we promoted mechanized drilling and rice transplanting in the province to ensure the planting area and quality. This year, the province’s wheat mechanization rate reached 90%, and most of rice in addition to hilly and mountainous regions also achieved mechanization. Work, mechanization rate reached 50 ~ 60%.

On September 17th, in Beihuqiao Village, Balingshan Town, Jingzhou District, Jingzhou City, the farmers were drying up and enjoyed a good harvest. A villager told the reporter: “Now the seeds are good, and the species is a thousand pounds. All we use is good seeds. Arable land, rice transplanting, and harvesting are all mechanized, and they have a great effect on increasing production. One mu of land can be used to collect more. Two hundred jins.” Li Kaibao, president of the Baojun Agricultural Machinery Cooperative in the village, continued: “In the past, 7000-8000 strains were planted in one mu of land, and now transplanted mechanically, 12,000 plants per mu can be planted. Miao Qi, Miaozheng, and few stubbles, the yield is 15% higher than in the past.” When asked about how to look at the food market this year, they think that the food situation this year will be better, and it will feel good about the expected income. At present, the purchase price of rice in Hubei is generally at 1.30 yuan/kg, which is higher than the national protection price.
