By June 15, the summer sowing in Henan has reached 86.79 million mu (1 mu equals about 666 square meters), accounting for 95.4 percent of the planned total, according to the local department of agriculture and rural affairs. The sowing of the province's main summer crops, mainly maize and peanuts, has now largely been completed, with the exception of some late-planted soybeans, short-season coarse cereals, and vegetables designated for crop rotation.

记者从河南省农业农村厅获悉，截至6月15日，全省夏播面积8679万亩，占预计面积的95.4%。目前，玉米、花生播种基本结束，除部分晚播大豆、生育期短的杂粮、倒茬蔬菜还在陆续播种外，全省夏季大宗作物集中播种期已基本结束。

Frequent rainfall in May has kept farmland soil well-moistened, creating favorable conditions for timely summer sowing across the province.

今年，河南省5月降水整体偏多，农田土壤墒情适宜，为抢时播种创造了有利条件。

Large-scale sowing began on June 2, about three days earlier than usual, and was completed by June 15, five days ahead of the schedule. The autumn crop area remains stable at 76 million mu, including more than 57 million mu of maize, nearly 9 million mu of rice and 5.7 million mu of soybeans, which lays a solid foundation for stable grain production this year.

河南夏播自6月2日大面积展开，较常年提早3天左右，6月15日夏播基本结束，较常年提早5天左右。全省秋粮面积继续稳定在7600万亩以上，其中玉米5700万亩以上、水稻近900万亩、大豆570万亩，为全年粮食稳产增产奠定了坚实基础。（中文来源：河南日报 记者：刘一洁 编译：杨佳欣 审校：焦丹 赵汉青）
