New wheat in eastern Henan and western Shandong is poised for a bumper harvest, and a good wheat harvest is in sight
New wheat in eastern Henan and western Shandong is poised for a bumper harvest. According to the southern route wheat survey by the China Grain Network, the wheat sown area in Shangqiu, Henan, has maintained a slight upward trend in recent years, and wheat varieties are mainly high-yield wheats such as Aikang 58, Zhongmai 18, and Zhongmai 22. In terms of high-quality wheat planting, the main varieties include Zhoumai 24, Xinmai 26, and Zhengmai 7698, with an incompletely counted sown area of less than 1 million mu, and planting is relatively scattered. Judging from the current growth situation, pests and diseases are occurring rather severely, leading to mild white head symptoms, but the overall wheat growth is the best in historical years, and it can be expected that if the weather is normal later, there will still be a bumper harvest year. Wheat growth in Heze, Shandong, is relatively good, but unlike the areas surveyed earlier, local enterprises do not believe that the local wheat support price plan will be activated, because Shandong had rarely activated the plan before, and because Shandong wheat quality is relatively good, with many buyers from surrounding areas coming in past years, and at one point the saying "(wheat) rises, look to Shandong" was circulated. From our on-the-ground understanding, the mainstream local wheat price is about 1.25 yuan/jin, roughly the same as wheat prices in surrounding areas.

The "grain vs. fruit competing for land" issue needs to be re-examined from a different angle
Does the logic of competition for land between agricultural industries hold up? Yesterday I was still thinking about the non-grain use of land in fruit-growing areas, and today I heard the concept of "grain vs. fruit competing for land." Liujiagou Town in Penglai City, Shandong Province, has 61 villages and 30,000 people. Of the town's 60,000 mu of farmland, fruit trees cover about 30,000 mu, mainly apples, grapes and cherries. In terms of quantity, grain cultivation accounts for only half of the total farmland area, and more and more grain fields are being transferred through land circulation to local enterprises for fruit tree planting. This undoubtedly gives the impression of "grain vs. fruit competing for land." Through our research, we found that this view is open to question.
