Since the annual “Three Autumns” mechanized production campaign kicked off in early September, regions have ensured adequate deployment of machinery and equipment, implemented orderly organization and dispatch, and provided robust policy support. As a result, key operations—including mechanized corn harvesting, mechanized winter wheat sowing, deep loosening and land preparation using agricultural machinery, and mechanized return-to-field and removal-of-straw practices—have progressed rapidly and in an orderly manner, exhibiting new characteristics such as the upgrading of equipment to high-end standards, the adoption of green technologies, the socialization of services, and the informatization of management. As of October 24, a total of 540,000 corn combine harvesters had been deployed nationwide, completing mechanized harvesting on 340 million mu of corn—an achievement representing 85% of the planned target. Mechanized harvesting has also commenced in major rice-producing areas, with 180 million mu of mid-season rice, single-crop rice, and late-season rice now harvested by machine, achieving a mechanization rate of 87%. Meanwhile, mechanized sowing of winter wheat has covered 160 million mu, with a mechanization rate exceeding 90%, signaling that the national “Three Autumns” mechanized production campaign is entering its final stage. Nationwide, deep loosening and land preparation have been completed on 110 million mu, representing more than 70% of the planned area.

　　High-end equipment is being deployed. Localities are accelerating the implementation of subsidies for agricultural machinery purchases and, in conjunction with agricultural structural adjustments, are encouraging farmers to acquire new types of equipment such as silage corn, forage and green-feed harvesters, deep-loosening machines, straw-returning machines, and grain dryers, which have played a vital role in mechanized production during the “Three Autumns” period. In Inner Mongolia, 64.738 million yuan of fiscal funds have been allocated to subsidize the purchase of 1,279 units of corn combine harvesters, primarily models equipped with ear-picking functions that can complete ear-picking, husk removal, ear collection, and straw processing in a single operation.

　　Greening of agricultural technology. Across the country, efforts are underway to promote energy-saving and environmentally friendly production practices centered on green agricultural development, including mechanized and efficient corn harvesting, returning or removing crop residues to fields, and integrated “no-ground-contact” drying services. Heilongjiang Province has vigorously promoted straw-returning technologies such as plowing-under and chopping-mixing return, as well as the “one plow, two no-till” farming model, with 43.98 million mu of land already covered by straw-returning practices.

　　Socialization of agricultural services. Localities have actively guided agricultural machinery cooperatives and other service organizations to provide contract-based operations and full-management services, continuously enhancing the organized and socialized nature of mechanized production during the “Three Autumns” period. Prior to the start of this year’s “Three Autumns” in Henan Province, more than 250,000 written service agreements were facilitated between farmers and service providers, covering a total area of 20.66 million mu. In Hebei Province, agricultural machinery cooperatives, leveraging their large fleet of equipment, efficient information flow, and high operational efficiency, undertook over 50% of the province’s mechanized harvesting tasks, thereby becoming the mainstay of autumn harvest operations.

　　Information-based management. Across the country, the “Agricultural Machinery Express—National Agricultural Mechanization Production Information Service Platform” and mobile apps are being used to scientifically schedule agricultural machinery operations, effectively matching supply with demand for services. Following the conclusion of the autumn harvest in various regions, deep loosening and land preparation operations promptly commence. Local authorities are actively innovating regulatory approaches and fully leveraging “Internet Plus Supervision” information technologies to remotely monitor the area and quality of deep-loosening and land-preparation work, thereby enhancing regulatory efficiency. In provinces with deep-loosening targets exceeding 1.5 million mu this year, the proportion of operations subject to remote monitoring generally exceeds 85%.
