A letter from Tongxu County to migrant workers about summer harvest and summer sowing

Dear friends of migrant workers who go out to work,

You have worked hard!

"Three Summers" is just around the corner, and the busiest farming season of the year is coming. Autumn sowing of wheat harvest is related to the food and clothing and income of every household, and to the food security of the county and even the whole country.

However, the epidemic situation in COVID-19 is still spreading in many places, and the situation of prevention and control is severe and complicated. Whether to stay in the workplace and work with peace of mind, or go home in summer to participate in the summer harvest, has become a tangled worry for the vast number of migrant workers and migrant workers.

The county government, like you, is very concerned about summer sowing and summer harvest. In order to relieve the worries of migrant workers and migrant workers, and solve the problem of summer harvest and summer sowing for needy households without labor force and ability, the county party committee and government made early research and careful arrangements, and made overall arrangements for mechanical harvesting of wheat and mechanical sowing of autumn harvest crops under the situation of epidemic prevention and control.

At present, our county has organized personnel from relevant departments at the county and village levels to conduct a comprehensive survey of the number of harvesters and poor households in summer harvest and summer sowing in the county, grasp the base number, and make overall arrangements to ensure that land suitable for harvesting and sowing by machine is available, and that everyone in poor households in summer harvest and summer sowing has help. At the same time, the "three pre-plans" for the matching of machines and tools for wheat harvesting, epidemic prevention and control, and emergency work have been formulated. The wheat harvesting plots, harvesting machinery, and the operational needs of needy households have been docked, and key personnel such as agricultural machinery operators have been classified and guided to provide quality services and effectively deal with unexpected situations that may affect wheat harvesting, such as disaster weather. The agricultural machinery department draws the distribution map of agricultural machinery operations, rationally organizes and dispatches machinery, and carries out operations in a scientific and orderly manner. The government of the township party committee and the village committee are close to helping farmers, organizing party member cadres, youth league members and volunteers to set up a wheat harvest service team, and drawing up a "one-on-one" help list for the needy families who have finished sorting out the summer harvest, so as to ensure that no one is missed and the grain is returned to the warehouse.

This year, the wheat planting area in our county is about 600,000 mu. At present, there are 2506 wheat combine harvesters that can be put into use. According to the workload of each locomotive per day 100 mu, it is estimated that the harvest will be completed within 3 days, so people outside need not worry about the wheat harvest at all.

At the same time, taking into account the epidemic prevention and control factors, home isolation measures will be implemented for returnees for more than 7 days. Going home may not be helpful, but it will delay work and time. Therefore, migrant workers and operators should not rush home, put aside their worries and work with peace of mind, and then go home for reunion after the epidemic is completely stable.

Thank you for your understanding, support and cooperation in epidemic prevention and control in your hometown. I sincerely wish you success in your work and good health!
