Around 3.72 million hectares of wheat have been harvested in major summer grain producing areas, according to the wheat harvest schedule released by the China's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA) on May 31. It is estimated that 16.5 million sets of intelligent and eco-friendly agricultural machinery will be used in production nationwide. 

Wang Jiayun, deputy director of the MARA's Department of Agricultural Mechanization, said that combine harvesters equipped with a BeiDou Navigation Satellite System for precision operations account for nearly 20 percent of the total, effectively promoting the quality and efficiency of summer harvest.
