What's made them more than happy recently is that the local government has mobilized agricultural machinery and services to help them reap their crop.

To handle the high moisture caused by recent rainy weather, the district has mobilized drying facilities to help farmers dry the corn.

Local farmers expressed their satisfaction with the convenience and efficiency of the services, as they no longer need to worry about finding suitable drying areas. They can easily dry their corn and continue with their harvest without delay.

Agricultural machinery service staff are also playing a crucial role during the process. They're diligently working to ensure the safety and maintenance of the machinery being used for harvesting.

Deng Chuanxin, a local farmer, said that he can simply bring his corn to the drying tower, where it will be dried within a day, making the process extremely convenient.

The comprehensive support from the local government, efficient drying facilities and diligent work of agricultural machinery service staff are widely said to have contributed to a productive and satisfying corn harvest this year in Dingtao. (Edited by Jin Yongxue)
