On August 9th, watching the last car of this year's harvested early rice sold, Jianghui Chang, the new planting planter of Xinketun Village in Wanguan Village, Anhuai Township, Pingnan County, was overjoyed: “More rain this year, thanks to the construction of a grain drying center, Do not worry about rice mold."
Huang Jiawei, director of the Pingnan County Bureau of Agricultural Machinery, said that in recent years, the county has made grain drying mechanization an important work. At present, the county has established 21 drying centers, with 94 types of drying machines of various types, and a batch of drying capacity of 1,400 tons. "Mechanical drying can save man-hours, reduce losses and save space," said Huang Jiawei.
“In the past, cooperatives have not built a grain drying center. Every time when the harvesting season is finished, they are worried. If it hits a rainy season, it is even more gloomy.†Jiang Huichang said that the Anwang Planting Cooperative planted 675 mu of paddy rice, which was produced in a season. About 300 tons. In previous years, due to the lack of sufficient space, they and their members had to use batches of rice to dry on a highway that was more than 10 kilometers away in batches, and spent a full night of grain conservation day and night. “Whether or not rice can be dried depends on the days, but it also costs a lot of manpower, and the rice that comes back from the sun is mixed with dry and wet, and it can sell for about 3 yuan per kilogram, and the wet price is less than 2 yuan per kilogram. Rice that has not been dried in time loses about 10,000 kilograms a year."
Earlier this year, through the technical guidance of the agricultural machinery department, the cooperative purchased two 30-ton models of grain drying machinery. Jiang Hui praised him: “I have burned 17 stoves this season, harvested in the morning and opened at night. The next day you can pull it out and sell it. You can sell more than 3 yuan per kilogram." Jiang Huichang calculated for the reporter that there was no rice that was damaged because of unsatisfactory drying of grains, although it was encountered before harvesting rice. The floods reduced rice production, but the dried rice was even and well-coloured and sold at a good price. After the establishment of the grain drying center, it increased the income of more than 100,000 yuan over last year.
Huang Jiawei introduced that as a major grain-producing county, it is particularly necessary to build a grain drying center. The Agricultural Machinery Bureau held a drying technology training class every year. At the same time, it organized technical personnel to go to the drying center construction site to provide guidance services such as machinery purchase, installation, and safe operation to help solve technical problems. Food drying equipment is huge and expensive, and grain drying machinery is included in the subsidy model of agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy. Grain farmers who purchase drying machinery can enjoy central government subsidies and provincial fiscal subsidies. "For example, a grain drying machine with a price of 180,000 yuan and a 30-ton model could receive a subsidy of 40,500 yuan from the central government and 20,200 yuan from the provincial financial subsidy. , greatly reducing the burden."
The purchase subsidy policy has given grain farmers a "concentration pill." As an earlier grain drying center, Ye Zuodong of Hongxing Agricultural Machinery Cooperative of Gaochun Village, Anhuai Town, tasted the sweetness of grain drying services. "This year's early rice drying center took in about 1,550 tons of rice. In addition to 100 tons of rice produced by its own cooperatives, all other services were open to the public and received 140 yuan per ton." Ye Zuodong said that in 2015, cooperatives purchased through the government's purchase subsidies. Two 15-ton model dryers, after the drying center was built, benefited the surrounding villages, and the machines often operated at high loads. In the past three years, he has successively purchased nine dryers through the government's purchase subsidies. One batch can dry more than 130 tons of rice, and the income is very considerable.
Zheng Yaoxiong, general manager of Gongbei Foodstuffs and Marketing Co., Ltd. expressed optimism about the development trend of the grain drying center: Pingnan has more than 400,000 mu of rice, and half of the rice he sells here this year is dried by a grain drying center. The dried, dried rice is evenly colored and has a texture that is resistant to moisture and is popular among buyers.
“Today, large grain producers all adopt mechanized harvesting. A harvester can harvest 40 to 50 acres in one day. With such a fast harvesting speed, it is no longer practical to use conventional drying models to ensure the safe return of grain to rice.†County Agricultural Machinery Technology Extension Service According to Mo Ming, stationmaster, with the acceleration of land circulation, more and more large-scale grain farmers are engaged in mechanized cultivation. The drying center has solved the bottleneck of large-scale production and has also opened up the last kilometer of mechanized rice production. .
