en.Wedoany.com Reported - China's national summer grain and wheat harvest has exceeded the halfway point. Transport departments across various regions have ensured efficient and smooth agricultural machinery transit by optimizing large-item transport permit services, implementing free passage policies, and upgrading "Warm Service Stations," thereby supporting a bountiful summer grain harvest.
Henan's wheat harvest progress has surpassed 90%. Data from the Henan Provincial Department of Transport shows that as of June 4, a total of 130,000 trips by transport vehicles for cross-regional harvesting machinery had been made across the province. Expressways in major wheat-producing areas have set up 906 "Three Summer" service desks, and service areas have designated 670 dedicated parking spaces for agricultural machinery, serving over 200,000 transport drivers and machinery operators cumulatively. Approximately 180 facilities along ordinary national and provincial highways, including service areas, parking zones, and maintenance stations, are fully open to the public, offering free basic services such as rest, water refills, and road condition guidance.
On the morning of June 3, traffic was steady at the East Station of the Pingyuan New Area on the Jinxin Expressway. At the toll station exit, a "Convenience Service Desk for Cross-Regional Combine Harvester Vehicles" was set up, with restrooms nearby. Toll shift supervisor Wang Yushou explained that the service desk operates air conditioning all day, with simple meals, drinking water, and heatstroke prevention medicines constantly stocked. Peak periods for large groups of cross-regional harvesters to exit the station are from 5:00 AM to 7:00 AM and from 11:00 PM to midnight. An agricultural machinery transport vehicle exited the toll station via the "Green Channel," passed through quickly after document verification, and was granted free passage.
At the "Full of Stars" service station of the Gepukou Maintenance Squad on National Highway 327 in Yuanyang, combine harvester operator Lou Guoli, just returning from a cross-regional trip, was resting on a sofa, covered in chaff. Staff brought him instant noodles and bottled water. Lou Guoli said he had set off from Zhumadian in the early hours and just drove back; resting here felt like coming home. Several nearby villagers entered the service station to inquire about Lou Guoli's harvesting schedule, hoping to harvest before the rain. Lou Guoli noted down their contact information one by one.
Over 60 million mu of wheat in Shandong are entering the large-scale harvesting phase from south to north and west to east. Toll stations across Shandong have preemptively opened green channels for agricultural machinery, simplifying inspection procedures for transport vehicles carrying cross-regional combine harvesters, allowing free and fast passage with relevant documents. Transport departments have strengthened road network monitoring and command dispatch, implementing round-the-clock dynamic monitoring of major grain-producing areas, surrounding road networks, and congested sections. They coordinate with public security traffic management departments for timely diversion and prioritization, ensuring rapid passage for agricultural machinery transport vehicles. Owners of agricultural machinery transport vehicles can book fast passage through the "China ETC Service" mini-program.
Shaanxi has set up dedicated "Three Summer Agricultural Machinery Green Channels" at key toll stations, implementing measures such as dedicated guidance, priority for agricultural machinery, and separation of passenger and freight traffic. This ensures direct passage with permits, fast passage through online applications, and convenient passage with on-site commitments, achieving "inspect upon arrival, pass upon inspection" for agricultural machinery transport vehicles. Toll stations along the route have established "Three Summer Agricultural Machinery Convenience Service Points," offering free heatstroke prevention items, drinking water, instant noodles, phone chargers, simple repair tools, and providing route consultations, weather forecasts, and the latest road condition information.
