"Thanks to your help inspecting the grain collection equipment, we can now harvest with peace of mind. Electricity for wheat storage and processing is also more secure." On August 18, Ma Guoping, head of the Xiaoping Grain Procurement Cooperative in Zhongning County, Zhongwei City, shook hands firmly with a staff member from State Grid Zhongwei Electric Power Company while watching the dryer in operation. At that moment, freshly harvested wheat was steadily moving along the conveyor belt into the drying equipment. Stable power supply ensured that every grain could be promptly dehydrated and safely stored.
As the summer grain harvest enters its final phase in late August, the demand for electricity related to drying and storage has surged. In response, the company developed a precision-based power assurance plan tailored to the typical electricity usage patterns during past wheat harvests. Local grain stations, cooperatives, and drying enterprises were designated as key service targets. The frequency of equipment inspections was increased from twice a week to once per day, combining drone-based aerial patrols with ground-level inspections to ensure zero-defect operation of all power lines and equipment.
To meet the electricity needs of farmers during the wheat harvest, the company launched a "green channel" dedicated to agricultural production. It streamlined the power application process and proactively dispatched personnel to inspect power lines and equipment on-site, allowing farmers quicker and easier access to electricity. Under its grid-based service model, local service managers were assigned specific zones and actively visited farms and processing sites to conduct thorough checks on dryers, ventilation systems, conveyors, and other equipment, providing customers with one-on-one electricity support.
“Attention everyone: Keep harvesters away from utility poles and guy wires during operation. Do not pile straw near transformers…” At the edge of a wheat field in Xingye Team 2, Dazhan Town, Zhongning County, company staff used loudspeakers to promote electrical safety to local farmers. They also distributed illustrated safety manuals and personalized service contact cards to each household. For elderly farmers unfamiliar with smart meters, staff provided hands-on guidance on how to use the State Grid mobile app to check electricity usage and pay bills, delivering caring, accessible service while strengthening the safety net for electricity use.
Looking ahead, the company will continue to optimize its power supply services, delivering more precise responses and more professional technical support to ensure that every grain harvested through hard work is safely stored and accounted for.
