When is the millet harvest?

Millet is usually harvested from August to September, and the specific time is related to the variety, climate and sowing time. Millet can be harvested when it is ripe.

For example, rice in Jiangsu three-line hybrid mid-season indica rice area is generally harvested in the first half of 10; Early rice is generally harvested in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in late July, and late rice is harvested in late June from 65438+ 10 to 165438+ 10. Double cropping rice in northern China is usually harvested in early August and early June 1 1.

When harvesting rice, you should harvest it line by line, with sharp sickle and quick action. After cutting, the grain is directly thrown into the thresher, and the grain and straw are separated. All the grains fall, and the straw is tied into a haystack. After drying, it can be used as forage or firewood for cattle. When the millet is ready, put it home, turn it over and dry it. The millet should be screened out and spread evenly to dry, and the water vapor should evaporate.

Millet beating method

1. Millet can be threshed with a threshing barrel, mostly with a stick in hand and a foot. This is the traditional method. Now you can throw it directly into the thresher and separate the grain from the grass.

2. The threshing drum can be used for harvesting and threshing rice, wheat, soybean, rape and other crops. When harvesting and threshing rice, wheat and other grains, first lift the rear part of the crop stalk to the right with both hands, and then beat the left inner side of the threshing cylinder hard. At the moment when the beating is over, the hands still need to shake slightly, so that all the threshed grains are scattered in the grain cylinder, thus avoiding the situation that the grains are scattered during the lifting process.
