Henan's autumn harvest nearly complete
10819万亩！河南秋收工作基本结束
As of October 10, a total of 108.19 million mu (approximately 7.21 million hectares) of autumn crops have been harvested in Henan, accounting for 92.5% of the total cultivation area, according to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Henan Province, including 71.73 million mu of autumn grains, representing 94% of the total. Apart from some wheat along the Yellow River, late-planted sweet potatoes, and rotation vegetables, Henan's autumn harvest has been completed basically.
记者从省农业农村厅获悉，截至10月10日，全省累计收获秋作物10819万亩、占种植面积的92.5%，其中秋粮收获7173万亩、占种植面积的94%。除沿黄水稻、晚茬红薯、倒茬蔬菜外，河南秋收工作基本结束。
This year, Henan's autumn crops ripened earlier than previous years, with large-scale harvesting beginning on September 20, approximately 4 to 5 days ahead of the usual schedule. From September 23 to September 28, daily crop harvesting exceeded 5 million mu (approximately 333,500 hectares) for six consecutive days. This year's autumn harvest, which lasted 21 days, progressed smoothly thanks to cool weather and sufficient harvesting machinery.
今年我省秋作物成熟时间较常年提前，自9月20日起秋作物开始大规模收获，较常年提前4—5天。秋收期间，全省天气以晴好为主，收获机械准备充足，9月23日至9月28日连续6天日收获进度在500万亩以上，秋收进程平稳有序，前后共历时21天，秋收大幕落下。
The smooth progress of the autumn harvest relies heavily on the harvesting machines. During the harvesting period, Henan organized a total of 236,000 harvesting machines, including 100,000 for corn, 30,000 for wheat, and 85,000 for peanut. Additionally, to address potential rainy weather, Henan set up 313 regional harvesting machine service centers, 716 regular emergency operation service teams, and 2,743 drying facilities, all on standby to provide emergency harvesting and drying services whenever needed.
秋收的顺利进行离不开农机的有力支撑。“三秋”期间，河南组织投入各类收获机械23.6万台，其中玉米收获机10万台、水稻收获机3万台、花生收获机8.5万台。同时，为应对“三秋”期间可能出现的阴雨天气，全省313个区域农机服务中心、716个常态化应急作业服务队、2743个烘干点，随时投入应急抢收、烘干服务。
This year, Henan's mechanical harvesting rates are as follows: 94.6% for corn, 97% for rice, and 83.9% for peanuts, all of which are higher than those of the previous year.
从生产调度情况看，今年全省玉米机收率94.6%、水稻机收率97%、花生机收率83.9%，均较上年有所提高。（中文来源/河南日报 记者/刘一洁 编译/杨佳欣 实习生/王锐 审校/陈行洁 赵汉青）
