As of now, Shandong corn harvest has ended. Since this fall, Shandong has made a total of 3.283 million sets of agricultural machinery, of which 58,470 corn combine harvesters have completed a total harvested area of ​​36.1 million mu with a machine yield of 71.5%. It has taken the lead in the country to achieve full mechanization of corn production.

The start and rapid development of Shandong corn machine started at the beginning of this century. In 2000, the number of corn combine harvesters in the whole province was only 1,453, and the corn harvested area was 1,339,000 mu, with a machine yield of 3.7%. After ten years of unremitting efforts, the number of corn harvesting machinery in the province has increased by 39 times this year, the corn machine yield has increased by 68 percentage points, and the mechanization of corn harvest has basically been realized. This also indicates that Shandong has basically achieved the entire corn production process. Mechanization.

From the beginning of this century, when Shandong realized the full realization of the mechanization of wheat production, the strategic focus of agricultural mechanization development was promptly shifted to advancing the mechanization of corn production, and corn harvesting was the main direction of attack. According to the provincial government and the Ministry of Agriculture's request that Shandong should take a good and well-developed position in the development of corn harvesting mechanization, research and put forward the strategy of "corner harvesting in the eastern region, accelerating the pace in central China, leapfrogging across the western region, and promoting the province as a whole." The development plan clarifies the development goals, development priorities, and promotion measures of corn harvesting, and lays a scientific foundation for the rapid development of corn harvest mechanization. From 2001 to 2004, the provincial government took out 3 million yuan of innovative demonstration funds each year to subsidize corn combine harvesters. Afterwards, the province will arrange 30 million yuan each year to focus on subsidizing corn harvesting machinery. Since 2006, the provincial government has arranged for 16 million yuan each year to subsidize the operation of corn harvesters and straws. In the past ten years, Shandong Province has invested a total of 2.334 billion yuan in subsidies for the purchase of agricultural machinery at or above the provincial level, and nearly 80% of it is used to subsidize corn harvesters and supporting power machinery.

The agricultural machinery department of Shandong Province actively explores and innovates, implements the combination of production, learning, research, push, management, and use, builds an innovative R&D platform, coordinates agricultural scientific research institutions, production companies, promotion organizations, and related institutions, and vigorously promotes the development of key technologies and equipment. Development. The corn combine harvester in Shandong Province has progressed from single-row to multi-row, from suspended to self-propelled, and expanded from single-function to multi-function, forming a suspension-oriented, interchangeable cutting table and self-propelled type. The development pattern of the industry has highlighted the effects of industrial clusters and the growth of major production indicators. At present, the province's corn combine harvesting machine production enterprises have reached 29, in 2009 sales of more than 30,000 units, an increase of nearly 100 times than in 2001.

Shandong attaches great importance to advancing the combination of agronomy and agronomy in corn harvesting, focusing on agronomy and agronomy, and enacting standards and specifications for corn harvesting and other operations. Established a coordination mechanism for agricultural machinery and agricultural sector work. The province formulated guidelines for the mechanized production of wheat and corn, comprehensively regulated wheat and corn from planting to harvesting, and widely implemented wheat, corn harvesting, straw return and no-tillage. The sowing of "one-stop" mechanization technology has accelerated the organic combination of agricultural machinery and agronomy, and promoted the good and fast development of corn harvesters.

Shandong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government attach great importance to the work of corn harvest mechanization and regard the advancement of corn harvest mechanization as an important measure for the development of grain production. The No. 1 document of the Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government's opinion on accelerating the development of agricultural mechanization in the province have all deployed the accelerated mechanization of corn harvest and incorporated it into the annual comprehensive evaluation and evaluation system for county-level economic and social development in the province. The agricultural machinery departments at all levels implement the work responsibilities of the target quantification, sub-tool bodies, and the key and focused work mechanisms. The completion of corn harvesting targets in each city was reported to the local government in a timely manner in the province and evaluated as one of the key indicators for measuring the performance of agricultural mechanization development.
