Large-Scale Wheat Harvest Nearing Completion in Henan

河南省小麦大规模机收基本结束

 

Large-scale harvest work of wheat in Central China's Henan province commenced on May 27 with 112 thousand combine harvesters put into operation at the peak and 10.02 million mu (1 mu equals about 666 square meters) of wheat harvested daily. Henan's large-scale wheat harvest has been basically completed now with more than 85 million mu of wheat harvested as of June 13.

河南省小麦大面积机收从5月27日开始，高峰期日投入联合收割机11.2万台，日收获小麦1002万亩。截至6月13日，全省完成小麦收获面积8500多万亩，大规模机收作业基本结束。

Summer sowing is progressing smoothly, too. So far, Henan's summer sowing area of crops has reached 66.313 million mu, accounting for over 70 percent of the total.

夏收连着夏种。截至目前，全省夏播面积6631.3万亩，夏播已超七成。

 

Harvesting goes nicely with sowing, and Henan is on its way to securing a new bumper harvest.

夏粮归仓，秋粮初长，中原大地再次种下丰收的希望。（中文来源/河南日报 记者/刘晓波 编译/赵汉青 实习生/何蒙贺 海报/刘昱渤 审校/张军平）
