We should carefully focus on the work of summer harvest, strengthen cross regional mechanical harvest organization and scheduling, ensure timely drying and drying, and coordinate the management of summer grain fields, disaster prevention and mitigation, and summer sowing preparations. We should do a good job in the collection and storage of summer grain, play the role of the lowest purchase price to support the bottom, and ensure that farmers can earn money from planting grain. More qualified farmland should be transformed into high standard farmland. He stressed that the national policy of supporting food production will only be strengthened, not weakened.
