This year, China's summer grain harvest, the wheat harvest from the main producing areas have good news. However, when interviewed by reporters at the grass-roots level that, at present our country is still larger increase in grain production potential, in particular, required governments at all levels to strengthen science and technology on food production, irrigation, pest and disease control services, and strive to continuously improve the level of food production.

Relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture recently said that the summer grain harvest is a foregone conclusion, is expected to achieve the first time since the founding of New China for the fifth consecutive year production - which means that this year's summer grain output will achieve more than 230.68 billion kg last year's good harvest.

The first production of wheat in Henan Province, a total of 7890 hectares of wheat production at about 61 billion kg over the previous year increased by 15 billion kilograms more than last year's yield will also be more than 762 kg level. China's second major wheat producing province of Shandong this year's summer grain harvest is a foregone conclusion, total output is expected to reach 39.4 billion kg, an increase of 19 billion jin.

Another major agricultural province of Anhui of wheat yield, the total rate of production and quality at the highest level in history last year on the basis of a new high. 3300 the province's average per-mu yield of wheat mu more than 670 kg, representing an increase of 30 kg over the previous year; the total wheat production over the previous year increased by 11.5 billion jin, an increase of 5.5%.

Experts analyzed that, from the provincial level does not look balanced. Shandong this year, per-mu yield of 780 kg wheat, 18 kg higher than in Henan, Anhui higher than 110 kg, in fact, some provinces this is not very different from natural conditions, can improve production.

Even if yields are the highest level in some provinces of Shandong, there is still tremendous potential grain yield. Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences wheat Zhao Zhendong experts think, as one of Shandong, the two major food crops of wheat, the current yield potential is far from being exhumed.

At present, Shandong Province, more than 5000 hectares of wheat, the highest per-mu yield 1500多斤, there is a lot of the county average per-mu yield of wheat has more than 1000 kg, but the province's average per-mu yield only 780 kg, has a number of plots per-mu yield of only four 500 jin, improve yield potential.

Some people think, because of social service in place, the potential for food production is not to play. At present, the food plant is a one operator, while the young and middle-aged labor are mostly migrant workers, leaving only the elderly women at home, inputs can not keep up, affecting the food potential of play, the special needs of social service.

In this regard, China is also actively exploring a number of places. Plains counties at the implementation of irrigation in the wheat fields of paid social services, support there is strength, irrigation technology and labor force farmers to purchase irrigation equipment to other farmers with irrigated wheat fields difficult services charged by the acre or by the hour of admission-related services. Some places also explored the establishment of local land types Service, Integrated Pest Management Services teams, and so on, effectively address the needs of farmers, promoting food production levels.
