As the saying goes, "It rains eighty-three times to harvest wheat." What does it mean? How is the wheat situation this year?

It is currently the wheat harvest season. As new wheat is being harvested from south to north, the collection points in the grain market are also focused on wheat.

As for the growth of wheat, there is a saying that "it takes eighty-three rains to harvest wheat." Many people understand that from wheat sowing to maturity, it takes eighty-three rains in one day, but Obviously that's not what it means.

The eighty-three rains during the wheat harvest refer to these three important rains in August, October and March of the lunar calendar.

1. Rain in August promotes moisture.

This first rain is the August rain. Why is the August rain so important?

The eighth month of the lunar calendar is basically the end of autumn. As the saying goes, "the cold dew is the right time to plant wheat." The cold dew solar term falls around the 20th of the eighth lunar month, which is a good time to plant wheat.

In addition to preparing seeds and fertilizers, planting wheat requires plowing the land.

The prerequisite for plowing is moisture, that is, the moisture content of the soil layer.

In ancient times, agriculture relied on the weather, and weather had a very important impact on agriculture. At this time, everyone was looking forward to a timely heavy rain, and then the wheat could be planted smoothly.

So this August rain is particularly important.

2. It rains in October and freezes the water.

After planting the wheat in August, winter will basically come soon.

Winter is cold, so wheat must prepare for the winter.

But if the weather is dry, there will be insufficient moisture in the root system, which may affect the growth of wheat and even directly affect wheat yield.

So at this time, farmers will find ways to pour frozen water on the wheat fields so that they have sufficient water.

So, at this time, if there is a timely rain or snow, then the wheat harvest will be one step closer.

3. The rain in March is as precious as oil.

As the saying goes, "Spring rain is as precious as oil", it refers to this March rain.

In March of spring, all things revive. As the temperature warms up, all things have entered the growing season, and wheat has also entered its rejuvenation period. At this time, a spring rain will nourish the wheat harvest, which will make the wheat harvest more abundant. Assure.

So, it can be seen that these three key rains are very important.

Wheat has entered the harvest season from south to north. How is this year’s wheat? There are two main collection points:

The first is to collect this year’s wheat production.

Grain production is an important issue every year, especially as the global grain market continues to be turbulent. Various factors have intensified the risk of a global food crisis. At this critical time, food has become a top priority.

So grain output is highly collected.

Last year, we all know that due to rain in the autumn harvest, the winter sowing of wheat was partially delayed, and the subsequent growth was also weak for a time. However, the country later arranged experts from across the country to take charge of each area and provide guidance. A series of tasks such as drainage and strengthening of weak seedlings have been carried out in various production areas to stabilize the overall growth of wheat.

According to expectations, if there are no extreme weather changes in the future, wheat production this year is generally guaranteed.

According to the National Agricultural Meteorological Monthly Report released by the Central Meteorological Observatory in May, a comprehensive analysis of agrometeorological conditions since winter wheat sowing, satellite remote sensing monitoring, and crop yield meteorological prediction model results, it is expected that the national average winter wheat in 2022 Compared with 2021, the yield per unit area is an average year, which means that this year’s wheat output is basically the same as last year.

In 2021, my country's wheat production will be approximately 136.95 million tons, an increase of 2.01% compared to 2020.

The second is the quality of the wheat collected.

In addition to output, another important thing is quality.

Last year, some major wheat-producing areas encountered heavy rainfall during the harvest season, which caused some wheat to lodging and become moldy, causing quality differentiation problems.

Looking at this year, except for a small part of the wheat quality which is weak, the overall quality is still good.

Judging from the price trend of wheat this year, a "high opening" is basically a foregone conclusion. Although the price of new wheat has dropped recently, the overall wheat has not yet been fully launched, and the subsequent market is still fluctuating. As planting costs and corn prices continue to rise, the room for wheat prices to fall is also very limited.
