Shandong corn machine yield will reach 80% this year

The harvest of autumn crops is imminent, and the reporter learned from the Shandong Provincial Office of Agricultural Machinery Management on the 23rd that the corn yield of Shandong Province this year will reach 80%, further increasing the level of corn production mechanization.

According to reports, in China's three major staple food crops of rice, wheat, and corn, corn harvesting is the most difficult, weakest, and lowest-level “bottleneck” link in the mechanization link.

The corn harvest of Shandong Province achieved a historic breakthrough in the past year. Corn farming, machine seeding, and machine yield reached 97%, 95%, and 71.5%, respectively, and the comprehensive level of cultivation and harvesting reached 88.75%, becoming the first mechanized province of corn production in China. .

This year, Shandong Province has increased its subsidies for corn harvesting machinery. In the whole year of 1.06 billion yuan in purchase subsidies for agricultural machinery, corn combine harvesters, conservation tillage machinery, deep-soil machinery and its supporting power machinery have become the main subsidies. According to preliminary statistics, Shandong corn harvesting machinery will grow to 65,000 sets this year.

In order to facilitate the cross-regional operation of agricultural machinery such as autumn corn combine harvesters and transport vehicles (including rice transplanters), Shandong Province stipulates: All vehicles holding the "2011 cross-cutting transplanter cross-district operation certificate" are During the period of validity of the “operation permit”, the vehicle toll fee shall be temporarily levied.
