Competition boosts training to safeguard a bumper harvest. The 2026 Shanxi Province Corn Mechanized Harvest Loss Reduction Skills Competition, Huairen event of the Shuozhou division, was held.

With autumn bringing cool breezes and abundant fruits, the corn harvest is now in a critical period of maturity and harvesting, and the city's autumn harvest work is being comprehensively accelerated and advanced in an orderly manner. Recently, the 2026 Shanxi Province Corn Mechanized Harvest Loss Reduction Skills Competition, Huairen event of the Shuozhou division, was held as scheduled in Zhaomazhai Village, Xinjiayuan Township. Ten outstanding agricultural machinery operators from across the city competed on the same stage, showcasing their skills and exchanging practical expertise. Through competition-driven learning, training, and improvement, the event demonstrated and promoted advanced corn mechanized harvest loss reduction technologies, continuously consolidating the foundation of food security. Yang Lianggui, member of the Municipal Party Standing Committee, head of the United Front Work Department, and vice mayor, attended the event.

In the competition fields, machines rumbled and a busy harvest scene unfolded. As the referee gave the order, the participating corn harvesters entered the designated operation areas one after another. The operators were energetic and skilled, strictly following operational standards, precisely controlling operating speed, harvesting depth, and travel trajectory, and completing a series of harvesting processes including ear picking, threshing, and cleaning in a standardized manner. This fully demonstrated the solid operational skills and good professional qualities of agricultural machinery practitioners in the new era. The on-site judging panel strictly followed scoring standards and gave fair scores based on multiple dimensions including harvest loss rate, operational flatness, operational efficiency, and field cleanliness. After intense competition, the event ultimately selected first, second, and third prizes. Participating operators said that this skills competition provided a high-quality platform for exchange, learning, and mutual improvement. Through competing on the same stage, they effectively drew on the advanced operational experience of peers and further standardized mechanized harvesting procedures. In future autumn harvest operations, they will consciously apply the key technical points of loss reduction and quality improvement, operate carefully and standardly, minimize grain harvest losses, and truly achieve every grain being stored and stable production with increased income.

The person in charge of the Agricultural Machinery Promotion Station of the Huairen City Agricultural Mechanization Development Center said that holding this corn mechanized harvest loss reduction skills competition aims to promote technology and training through competition, comprehensively improve the standardized and normative operational level of agricultural machinery operators across the city, continuously improve the quality of corn mechanized harvesting, and minimize field harvest losses. At the same time, using the event as a driving force, the city will deeply implement national, provincial, and municipal work arrangements on agricultural machinery harvest loss reduction, vigorously promote advanced technologies and operational models for grain conservation and loss reduction, comprehensively consolidate the foundation for an autumn grain bumper harvest, and fully ensure stable food security.

It is understood that this competition focused on the core goal of improving quality and reducing losses in the corn harvest link, tested agricultural machinery operational levels through practical combat, popularized scientific loss reduction technologies, and provided strong technical support for the city to advance high-quality autumn harvest work. Next, the city will continue to strengthen agricultural machinery technical guidance, machinery scheduling, operation and maintenance support, and other service work during the autumn harvest period, normalize the promotion of key mechanized harvest loss reduction technologies, continuously improve the quality of agricultural mechanized operations, effectively protect the fruits of the harvest, firmly safeguard the bottom line of food security, and empower comprehensive rural revitalization.
