en.Wedoany.com Reported - During the critical "Three Summers" production period, Hugang Township has explored a new model for comprehensive utilization of straw. Through mechanized baling and diversified use, the once troublesome waste wheat straw has been transformed into a sought-after "green resource," achieving a win-win situation for both ecological and economic benefits.
In the wheat fields of Hugang Village, Hugang Township, as soon as the harvesters finish their work, raking machines follow closely to gather scattered wheat stalks into rows. Large balers then compress the loose straw into neat, compact square bales.
Chen Jianyun, head of Dancheng Jianyun Breeding Cooperative, stated that the quality of this year's wheat straw is generally good and suitable for use as livestock feed. With the assistance of the village committee's support team, the cooperative provides free baling and recycling services for villagers, transporting the straw to breeding farms, thereby meeting a portion of the feed demand.
Straw recycling is not only an environmental measure but also fosters a wealth-generating industry. In exploring new comprehensive utilization models, Hugang Village promotes the conversion of straw into feed, energy, and substrate materials.
Wang Jing, Party branch secretary of Hugang Village, explained that the village organizes machinery to simultaneously harvest and bale straw, achieving "harvest and bale simultaneously, bale immediately upon harvest." The recycled straw is uniformly delivered to the village's cattle breeding base, solving the straw disposal problem while providing high-quality feed for livestock, thus realizing resource recycling.
During this year's "Three Summers" period, Hugang Township deployed 120 harvesters equipped with shredding functions to promptly shred straw after crop harvesting and perform deep plowing and burial. The township set up 22 temporary straw storage points for convenient nearby access by residents. Additionally, 23 cleaning and transport teams were established, mobilizing over 1,390 personnel and more than 110 vehicles, guiding residents to clear straw from roadsides and field edges to storage points. These teams coordinate with grasslands for regular transport, using high-quality straw as livestock feed and lower-quality straw as energy material. To date, the township has completed straw off-field operations on over 18,000 mu of land, recycling more than 4,000 tons of straw, benefiting over 1,000 large grain growers and farming households.
He Yuehua, Party secretary of Hugang Township, stated that the township follows the approach of "combining guidance and blocking, promoting prohibition through utilization," comprehensively promoting straw baling and recycling technology. It actively connects with downstream entities such as breeding cooperatives and biomass power plants, building a green chain of "field recycling—centralized storage and transport—diversified utilization." In the next step, Hugang Township will extend the comprehensive utilization industry chain of straw, promoting green and low-carbon agricultural development.
