With the end of the Spring Festival holiday, all parts of the country have ushered in a wave of rework, but at the same time, a cold wave weather is also quietly approaching. In order to cope with the upcoming extreme weather, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has made emergency arrangements for the prevention and response of cold wave weather after the holiday to ensure the safety of agricultural production and the increase of farmers' income.
A cold wave is coming, and the agricultural sector is on guard.
According to the forecast of the meteorological department, in the coming period, most parts of China will usher in a wide range of cooling and snowfall, and the temperature in some areas may drop below minus 20 degrees Celsius. The cold wave will have a great impact on agricultural production, especially the growth of winter wheat and facility vegetables in the northern region.
In response to this situation, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs acted quickly and urgently convened a meeting to make comprehensive arrangements for the prevention and response to the cold wave weather after the holiday. The meeting stressed that agricultural departments at all levels should fully understand the importance and urgency of doing a good job in cold wave prevention and response, effectively strengthen organization and leadership, improve the working mechanism, strengthen the implementation of responsibilities, and ensure the safety of agricultural production and the increase of farmers' income.
We have taken multiple measures to comprehensively strengthen prevention and response.
In order to effectively cope with the cold wave weather, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has put forward a number of specific measures. The first is to strengthen early warning and monitoring. Agricultural departments at all levels should strengthen communication and cooperation with meteorological departments, keep abreast of weather changes in a timely manner, and do a good job in early warning and monitoring. At the same time, it is necessary to intensify inspections on the front line of agricultural production and promptly discover and solve problems in agricultural production.
The second is to strengthen technical guidance. According to the characteristics of different regions and different crops, experts are organized to formulate corresponding technical guidance to guide farmers to scientifically cope with cold wave weather. In particular, it is necessary to strengthen the measures of heat preservation, anti-freezing, and windproof of vegetables, fruit trees, and other crops to ensure the normal growth of crops.
The third is to increase the intensity of material support. Agricultural departments at all levels should actively coordinate with relevant departments to do a good job in the reserve and transportation of agricultural materials such as seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and other agricultural materials required for agricultural production, to ensure that the agricultural materials market is sufficient and stable. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the overhaul and maintenance of agricultural machinery and tools to ensure that agricultural machinery can operate normally at critical moments.
Fourth, strengthen the prevention and control of animal diseases. Agricultural departments at all levels should strengthen the monitoring and prevention and control of animal diseases, detect and deal with the epidemic in a timely manner, and prevent the spread of the epidemic.
Fifth, strengthen information reporting and publicity and guidance. Agricultural departments at all levels should promptly report the progress of cold wave prevention and response to higher departments, and at the same time strengthen publicity and guidance through various channels to improve the self-prevention awareness and response ability of the peasant masses.
Farmers actively responded and overcame the difficulties together.
Under the unified deployment of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, farmers in various places have also taken active action to take various measures to cope with the cold wave weather. In some areas, farmers spontaneously organized themselves to strengthen greenhouses, clear snow, and add insulation facilities. In some places, losses are mitigated by harvesting vegetables and fruits in advance.
At the same time, many farmers also use the Internet and social media platforms to obtain the latest weather information and agricultural technical guidance, and share their experience and skills in cold resistance. This combination of online and offline interaction has greatly improved the efficiency and effectiveness of preparing for and responding to cold waves.
Experts call for a scientific response to the cold wave.
In response to the upcoming cold wave, many agricultural experts called on farmers to respond scientifically. They noted that different crops and regions need to take different measures to cope with the effects of cold spells. For example, winter wheat should pay attention to frost protection and seedling protection; Facility vegetables should be strengthened for insulation and ventilation; Fruit trees should focus on tree protection and flower and fruit management. At the same time, the experts also reminded farmers to rationally arrange agricultural production plans and avoid agricultural production plans.
Carry out high-risk operations in extreme weather.
Conclusion: Work together to overcome the difficulties.
In the face of the challenge of the post-holiday cold wave weather, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and farmers everywhere worked together to deal with it. Through the effective implementation of a number of measures such as strengthening early warning and monitoring, strengthening technical guidance, and increasing material support, we believe that we will be able to reduce the impact of cold wave weather on agricultural production and ensure the increase of farmers' income and the sustainable development of agriculture. At the same time, we also hope that the broad masses of farmers can improve their awareness of self-prevention and coping ability, face future challenges and opportunities, overcome difficulties together, and achieve a better life.
