Summer grain is the "first battle" of grain production throughout the year.

Recently, many places such as Henan, Anhui, and Jiangsu have taken active actions to take various measures to ensure a bumper summer grain harvest. It is currently a critical period of wheat growth, and localities are stepping up their efforts to cope with challenges such as drought and ensure stable summer grain production.

Henan Province, known as the "Central Plains Granary", attaches great importance to wheat drought resistance.

Not long ago, Henan Provincial Finance Department urgently allocated 50 million yuan to support local governments in rapid development of drought resistance, wheat watering, grain and stable production. In accordance with the principle of special handling and urgent handling of urgent matters, the provincial finance has implemented special treasury cash scheduling, and all funds have been allocated to the local government.

According to the Henan Government website, on May 1, the Henan Provincial Government held a provincial wheat drought resistance video scheduling meeting to convey and study the spirit of the important speech and relevant instructions and requirements, and to dispatch wheat drought resistance and watering in key areas, "one spray and three preventions".

Vice Governor Li Zhuo emphasized that we must resolutely overcome the slack and paralysis mentality, make preparations for resisting severe drought and long drought, mobilize the initiative and enthusiasm of the farmers, help the needy solve the problems of watering and drinking water, and ensure that no household or person is left behind. We must adhere to scientific classification of drought watering and drought resistance. In areas with good water source conditions, we must promptly resist drought watering and strive to increase production; in areas with poor water source conditions, we must fully tap water sources and strive to reduce production. We must make full use of drought resistance funds, allocate timely and use them scientifically, use the money at the edge and key points, and maximize the benefits of fund use.

Immediately afterwards, Henan Governor Wang Kai visited Nanyang City for investigation. He emphasized the need to thoroughly study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on the “three rural issues”, conscientiously implement the work arrangements of the provincial party committee, implement various agricultural disaster prevention and mitigation measures, and strive to achieve a bumper harvest of summer grain.

Anhui Province is also taking active actions to respond to drought and ensure wheat production.

The website of the Anhui Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that on April 28, Wang Xuejun, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Anhui Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, went to Guzhen County to investigate the growth of wheat seedlings and drought resistance.

Wang Xuejun went to Qiaokou Village, Guyang Town, Guzhen County, Mengmiao Village, Zhongxing Town, Yangluo Village, Renqiao Town and other places, went deep into the fields, carefully inspected wheat growth, irrigation water source scheduling and guarantee, learned in detail about the drought conditions and the effectiveness of drought resistance measures, affirmed the local area's active response to drought conditions and ensure the overall stability of the wheat production situation, and communicated with grassroots agricultural technicians and large grain growers, and listened carefully to difficulties and opinions and suggestions.

Wang Xuejun pointed out that it is a critical period for wheat production to form, and drought resistance and seedling protection work is related to the bumper harvest of summer grain. The provincial level has sent 7 working groups to relevant cities to guide drought resistance. All localities should resolutely shoulder the political responsibility of food security, establish bottom-line thinking and extreme thinking, "Digest water with water, and drill wells without water, and resist droughts and protect seedlings." Take the initiative to take responsibility, strengthen policy support and guidance services, help farmers solve practical difficulties, ensure drought resistance work is carried out effectively, orderly and effectively, and lay a solid foundation for achieving a bumper summer grain harvest.

In Jiangsu, the main leaders of the party and government in many regions went deep into the fields to check the growth status of wheat on the spot.

According to the Gravitation Broadcast Client, on the afternoon of May 2, Wu Qingwen, deputy secretary of the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee and mayor, went to Changshu City to investigate wheat drought resistance, emphasizing that we must do our best to shoulder the important task of food security, work together and respond actively, and do everything possible to minimize the impact of drought. In the afternoon of the same day, Suzhou Vice Mayor Cha Yingdong also went to Zhangjiagang City to investigate wheat drought resistance.
