Recently, various localities have shouldered the responsibility of ensuring food security and taken multiple measures to promote stable grain production and increase yields, laying a solid foundation for a bountiful harvest.

Recently, Weiyuan County in Dingxi City, Gansu Province, seized the critical growth period of wheat and organized plant protection drones to carry out "one spray, three prevention" operations, using technological means to assist stable grain production and harvest.

It is reported that through this "one spray, three prevention" operation, common pests and diseases such as wheat stripe rust can be effectively controlled, while also helping to resist drought and preserve seedlings.

In the wheat fields of Jiangwucheng Town, Ci County, Handan City, Hebei Province, insect monitoring lamps and high-altitude lamps stand at the field edges, weaving a green protective net for the wheat fields.

Guantao County in Handan City has established a pest monitoring system, weaving a dense "monitoring network" in the fields, using scientific prevention and control to safeguard stable wheat production and quality improvement.

To serve cross-regional agricultural machinery operations, Tanghe County in Henan Province has set up cross-regional harvest reception service points at all highway entrances, providing 24-hour duty services such as route guidance.

Xichuan County in Henan Province has formed a "Three Summers" emergency service team. Technicians take advantage of breaks during operations to go into the fields and inspect harvesters one by one, ensuring that mechanical equipment is ready for harvesting at any time.

Currently, Shandong Province's wheat has entered the critical stage of concentrated harvesting. Many localities seize the favorable window period before rain, coordinate all forces, and start a round-the-clock rush harvest model.

Yuncheng County in Heze City has over 1.4 million mu of wheat. Hou Peng Village, Zhangying Street, Yuncheng County, launched overnight wheat rush harvesting operations.
