The hail disaster in Qingyang caused 18000 mu of farmland to be affected, and 68000 people were affected. How to treat it?

It is difficult to be a farmer, not only facing the trouble that the price of crops cannot be raised, but also bearing the agricultural disaster that may come at any time. Once floods, droughts and severe convective weather disasters strike, it will be a huge blow to agriculture.

Even though agricultural science and technology is very mature now, it cannot be completely avoided in the face of natural disasters.

Recently, Qingyang City was hit by gale and hail, and 68,000 people were affected. Agricultural losses are serious, and many farmers are very sad.

But don't worry, farmers can get an agricultural insurance claim and the following first aid measures.

0 1, Qingyang hail disaster affected 68,000 people.

Recently, Qingyang suffered a strong convective weather due to the collision of cold and warm air currents. Five counties, including Huachi County, Qingcheng County, Xifeng District, zhenyuan county and Chenghuan County, suffered from short-term heavy rainfall, strong winds and hail disasters. The maximum gust was 7, the maximum precipitation was 47. 1mm, and the hail was about 3 cm in diameter, which was as big as an egg and lasted for 40 minutes.

It is reported that the gale and hail disaster caused about 68,000 people to be affected in five counties 17 townships, and10.8 million mu of crops were affected, with heavy losses in many farmland. It is expected that fruits, corn, wheat and Chinese herbal medicines will be affected to varying degrees.

Huachi County was the most seriously affected, including 17 villages, 102 groups, 14986 people, and the damaged area of crops was 4000.05 hectares. Some areas were flooded, houses were damaged, structures and trees collapsed, 59 1 head of livestock died, and 103 vegetable greenhouses were damaged.

After the incident, Qingyang agricultural and rural departments also launched an in-depth investigation, organized agricultural technicians to go deep into the field to give guidance, and formulated scientific guidance on the disaster situation of crops to make up for the losses caused by crop damage.

02. Agricultural insurance covers farmers' income.

Once crops suffer from strong winds, hail and heavy rainfall, it will have a great impact.

First of all, the lodging of crops is more serious. As we all know, it is a critical period for the growth of winter wheat, and it will be harvested in more than half a month.

However, the arrival of strong convective weather will lead to large-scale lodging of wheat.

However, once crops lodging, farmland drainage is not smooth, crop diseases and insect pests will increase obviously, which is not conducive to agricultural production, especially in heavy precipitation weather, which will increase farmland humidity and temperature, leading to increased diseases and insect pests. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job in pest control, otherwise the output will drop significantly.

Then, someone asked, who should pay for the agricultural losses caused by natural disasters?

In fact, in order to ensure farmers' farming income, the state has introduced full-cost insurance and planting income insurance for the three staple foods.

The former can make up for the losses caused by natural disasters and major pests and diseases, and in the event of natural disasters, it can ensure that farmers' breeding costs are fully recovered.

The latter can pay corresponding losses to cope with fluctuations in crop prices and output, such as losses caused by reduced wheat production or falling food prices, and insurance will also pay.

In 2020, agricultural insurance premium income has reached 810.50 billion yuan, and last year it reached 96.510.80 billion yuan, of which the central government arranged subsidies of 33.345 billion yuan, which provided a solid guarantee for farmers' agricultural claims.

In 2022, the full-cost insurance and planting income insurance of the three major staple foods have covered all major grain-producing counties in 13 major grain-producing provinces.

As for fruits, vegetables, aquaculture and other industries, in fact, it also involves agricultural insurance, mainly including aquaculture insurance, agriculture-related insurance and planting insurance, and is paid according to the proportion of agricultural losses.

For example, the hail disaster in Luochuan County last year caused serious damage to local apples, but for farmers who bought agricultural insurance, an acre of land can get about 3,000 yuan, which can guarantee the income of fruit farmers.

03. These remedies cannot be forgotten.

Of course, farmers cannot rely solely on agricultural insurance. After agricultural disasters, remedial measures should be taken as soon as possible, classified guidance, scientific rescue, and minimize losses.

1, timely rescue

After the hail disaster, everyone should come to the farmland in time. If more water is found in the farmland, it should be drained in time to avoid subsequent crop losses caused by excessive humidity.

However, if the damage degree of crops is not high, there is no need to replant, and foliar fertilizer can be sprayed in time to improve the stress resistance of crops and make them regain their vitality.

For example, after wheat lodging, 200 grams of potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be sprayed per mu to improve the stress resistance of wheat and increase the grain weight of wheat.

2. Replant in time

If the disaster is serious and crops are almost extinct, it is necessary to replant them in time. Vegetables, oats, buckwheat and peas with short growth cycle and high economic benefits can be planted, and the losses of farmers can also be reduced.

3. Strengthen disease prevention and control.

After the disaster, the disease resistance of crops is weakened, and pests and diseases are easy to enter at this time, so pest control should be done in time.

Especially wheat, we should do a good job of "one spray and three defenses"

The above are the relief measures for agricultural disasters, and we should also do a good job in specific crops and disasters.
