Ningbo Xiangshan: Grain Dryers Solve Worries for Big Grain Farmers

"Now, after harvesting rice, we do not need to take advantage of the weather for a few days, and we don't have to hire anybody to dry it. Our farmer is now drying rice and mechanized," said a member of Yinxian Fenghui Cooperative in Xiangshan County of Ningbo City.

Xiangshan Xianfeng Fenghui Cooperatives Co., Ltd. is a full-mechanized rice cooperation organization integrating rice production, farming, machine-planting, machine harvesting, plant protection, grain drying, and processing into rice. Last year, a grain drying plant worth nearly RMB 110,000 was dried. The machine was fully subsidized by Xiangshan County Agricultural Bureau. The newly introduced grain dryer played an important role after the harvest of early rice this year. The person in charge of the cooperative told the author that the typhoon weather after the early rice harvest this year had brought certain difficulties to the drying of the rice. The Xiangshan Yinfeng Fenghui Cooperatives actively took measures to activate the grain dryer to dry the rice harvested by large households. It is drying all day every day, and this year, 6 tons of rice are dried in the early rice, which relieves the worries of the local grain producers.
