Autumn and winter planting production should be viewed from an overall and strategic perspective
Around the Autumn Equinox, autumn and winter planting production across the country is about to unfold fully from north to south. This year's autumn and winter planting is the first battle for the opening year of next year's “13th Five-Year Plan”; it concerns the whole year and the overall situation, and is of great significance.
To view this year's autumn and winter planting, one must stand at the height of the year's grain production. Summer grain not only accounts for nearly one quarter of total grain output, but more importantly, summer grain is the first battle of the year's grain production; a bumper summer grain harvest can boost morale and confidence for the whole year's grain production. Autumn and winter planting is precisely the beginning of summer grain production, and the quality of autumn and winter planting directly affects the summer grain harvest, so arrangements must be made early and scientifically planned.
To view this year's autumn and winter planting, one must stand at the height of the current tasks of agricultural development. At present, as the agricultural departments advance modern agricultural development, the most urgent task is to vigorously promote the transformation of agricultural development modes and structural adjustment. In recent years, agricultural development has achieved tremendous successes, but has also paid a great price. From the perspective of autumn and winter planting production, wheat in the northern winter wheat region mostly grows in seasons with relatively little precipitation, needing two to three irrigations per season, and in drought years four to five irrigations. Doing a good job in autumn and winter planting production and implementing measures such as saving water, fertilizer and pesticides are inevitable measures for achieving sustainable development at present.
To view this year's autumn and winter planting, one must stand at the height of the overall economic and social development. At present, China's economic development has entered a new normal, with relatively great downward pressure, and many industries face unprecedented challenges, but the basic trend of seeking progress while maintaining stability has not changed, and many highlights have emerged, with agriculture being the greatest highlight among them, and grain production being the highlight of highlights. History has proven countless times that the more economic development encounters difficulties, the more it is necessary to consolidate the foundation of grain production, and the more it is necessary to stabilize grain production, this ballast stone. With grain in hand, the heart does not panic; when grain is stable, people's hearts can be stable.
Autumn and winter planting is about to begin. Agricultural departments at all levels must, from an overall and strategic perspective, fully understand the importance of doing a good job in autumn and winter planting production, vigorously implement it, and steadily advance it, so as to lay the foundation for achieving the goals of stabilizing grain and increasing income, and improving quality and efficiency.
