The weather in Shunyi District, beijing beijing City, China.

On June 5, 2022, according to the Beijing News reporter, due to the local hail weather in Beijing, Huairou District of Shunyi District experienced different levels of disasters. The Beijing Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs revealed to reporters that due to the hail weather, the coverage area of agricultural insurance was as high as 6.5438+0.5 million mu, including fruit trees and wheat greenhouses. Insurance companies will also rush to the scene to check according to the situation reflected by farmers and give claims in time.

Perhaps no one expected that on June 4, in the hot summer, hail began to fall in some parts of Beijing, and the diameter of hail in Shunyi District reached 5 cm. Crops are most affected by sudden hail, especially open-air crops, such as cherries, watermelons, apples, peaches and tomatoes. Under the impact of high-frequency hail, the basic body was completely broken. Fruits that could have had a bumper harvest may have been reduced due to hail. Especially the smashed fruit is piled on the ground of the tree. If not treated in time, it is likely to breed a large number of germs and affect the growth next year.

The unexpected hail did not give people any room for reaction. For ordinary people, just curious, they quickly took photos and sent them to social platforms. But for farmers, these hail really hit their hearts. For netizens who don't understand planting, they may wonder why these farmers don't install hail nets. But in fact, the economic input of planting industry is not small for farmers. In addition to investing a lot of manpower, they are busy watering, fertilizing and trapping insects every day. A few years ago, there was a cold spring, which made many fruit farmers lose a lot of money. Large-scale investment in hail suppression nets is completely unaffordable for small fruit farmers.

Although the comfort given by outsiders seems a little pale at this time, in any case, I hope that farmers' uncles can take remedial measures as soon as possible to overcome natural disasters and expect their hard work to be rewarded.
