China[In the Fields of Hope] More Than 80% of Autumn Grain Harvested as New Technologies Help Improve Quality and Efficiency
CCTV.com report (Xinwen Lianbo): The latest agricultural progress monitoring by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that more than 80% of the country’s autumn grain has been harvested. A range of new technologies is being promoted and applied on a large scale, helping improve quality and efficiency.
央视网消息（新闻联播）：农业农村部最新农情调度显示，全国秋粮收获过八成。一批新技术大面积推广应用，助力提质增效。
Over the past few days, clear weather in northeastern China has been favorable for harvesting autumn grain. Jilin Province is vigorously promoting loss-reduction technologies in mechanical harvesting and transportation to increase output.
这几天，东北地区天气晴好，利于秋粮收获。吉林省在机收、运输环节大力推进减损技术，促进产量增加。
Corn harvesting is currently being stepped up in the main producing areas of the Huang–Huai–Hai region. In Bozhou, Anhui, this year’s focus has been on promoting a technology that increases yields by appropriately delaying harvest. Scientifically postponing the harvest and extending the grain-filling period improves corn yields and quality.
眼下，黄淮海主产区玉米正加紧收获。在安徽亳州，今年重点推广适期迟收增产技术，通过科学延后收获、延长籽粒灌浆期，提升玉米产量与品质。
Rice in the Yangtze River basin is also gradually ripening. This year, a range of new harvesters for hilly and mountainous terrain has entered mass production and use. On the hilly terraces of Jinyun, Zhejiang, China’s first small all-electric rice and wheat harvester is moving steadily along, collecting the ears of rice into bags wherever it passes.
长江流域水稻也正陆续成熟。今年，一批丘陵山地新型收获机量产应用。在浙江缙云丘陵梯田上，我国首台纯电动小型稻麦收割机正平稳行驶，所到之处，稻穗都被收入袋中。
This year, more than 30 million units or sets of agricultural machinery and equipment are expected to be put to work nationwide in the “three autumn operations”—autumn harvesting, autumn planting and autumn plowing. The autumn harvest is currently progressing smoothly overall, at a faster pace than at the same time last year.
今年，预计全国共有3000多万台（套）农机具投入“三秋”作业，目前秋收进展总体顺利，进度同比快于上年。
