The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs says mechanized wheat harvesting
in China has accelerated; 76.13 mln mu (≈5.08 mln ha) — 22.44% of the crop — has
been harvested. The Huang-Huai-Hai main-production region has moved into
large-scale harvesting after a recent dry, sunny window. Provincial progress:
Anhui over 35%, Henan over 25%, Shaanxi just over 10%, Jiangsu near 10%; Shanxi
shows only scattered harvests, while Hubei and Sichuan are finishing residual
harvesting.
