China’s ag ministry urged local authorities to speed up harvesting and drying of damaged grain, after heavy rain flooded fields of ripe wheat in Henan, the country’s largest growing region. Authorities should send emergency teams to drain water from fields, speed up access by harvesters and mobilize drying machinery to save as much of the crop as possible, the ministry said. It also urged buyers to purchase sprouted wheat that can still be used for feed or industrial purposes, while making sure it does not go to food.
