Kaifeng, Henan: Non-stop field inspections safeguard farm production

"Electricity is essential for summer irrigation. Your on-site equipment inspections have given us tremendous support!" On June 17, elderly grain-farmer Mr. Yang from Shuidao Township, Kaifeng City, Henan Province, praised staff from State Grid Kaifeng Power Supply Company. To guarantee safe and steady power supply for agricultural production and secure grain yields, the company matched local demand precisely. Its staff headed to farmlands to carry out special power-use inspections for summer irrigation, supporting farming production with dependable electricity.

Summer sowing and irrigation are now in full swing, driving sharp rises in power demand for farm irrigation. High temperatures and humid conditions easily trigger power-use risks and equipment breakdowns in fields. Workers examined distribution facilities, power lines and irrigation equipment for individual grain-growing households one by one. They focused on common dangers such as aged power lines and broken insulation, and fixed identified problems immediately to ensure electrical safety in the fields from the outset.

Staff explained electricity safety rules to farmers on site, sharing practical knowledge covering daily equipment maintenance, basic fault identification and electric-shock emergency treatment. State Grid Kaifeng Power Supply Company optimized its emergency response mechanism for power supply guarantees. It kept a 24-hour repair reporting channel available, prepared emergency supplies and arranged standby personnel to sustain steady power supply throughout summer irrigation.

In the next stage, the company will keep prioritizing power security tasks for summer sowing and irrigation. It will conduct regular power line inspections, hidden-danger screening and community-oriented services to resolve ongoing power-use risks. Rural power-supply reliability and service standards will be further lifted. Stable power supply and quality-oriented services will protect grain security and help rural agriculture ensure stable production and increase farmers' incomes.
