Farmers sell grain: do it when it's time to do it

A few days ago, Uncle Wu in the village sold more than 3000 jin of rice to a grain processing factory in the town. when he came back, we asked Uncle Wu how the grain was selling. Uncle Wu shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, the price of grain has fallen again. Two months ago, it sold for more than 150 yuan a load, but now it only sells for 130 yuan." If I had known that the price of grain had fallen so much, I would have sold it. Hundreds of dollars have been lost. "

In the countryside, we can hear some people like Uncle Wu lament the drop in food prices every year. In fact, such a sigh is a manifestation that some farmers can not keep up with the pace of the times and do not adapt to the market economy. The main feature of the market economy is that the price of any commodity is regulated by the market. When a certain commodity is favored and in short supply in the market, the price will often rise; on the contrary, if the supply of a certain commodity in the market is sufficient, the price will certainly fall. Since farmers sell grain in the same way. However, in the face of the ups and downs of the market, many farmers cannot analyze and predict them scientifically, and they always believe in some rules, such as "the more expensive they are, the more they will not sell" and "sell down without going up." this is the so-called psychology of "cherishing sales." It is precisely because of this mentality that farmers often suffer great losses in the end.

That is to say, in 2015, the price of grain was still high in the spring, selling for more than 150 yuan per truckload of rice. Generally speaking, this is a good time for grain farmers to sell grain. But many people in our village are still reluctant to sell rice, thinking that food prices will rise. But after entering the summer, due to fluctuations in international grain prices and other reasons, China's grain prices also began to fall, prescient farmers began to sell grain, but there are still some farmers are still waiting on the sidelines, always hoping that grain prices will rise again. After entering the autumn, with the new rice coming on the market soon, the price of rice has dropped even more obviously. although some farmers seize the time to sell grain, they still have a lot of losses.

Of course, there is no shortage of well-informed and flexible farmers in the countryside. One villager in the village invented the "method of selling grain in batches" based on his own experience, which is to sell grain step by step in a timely manner according to the price changes in the grain market. When the price of grain is low (usually just harvested), and you really need money, you should sell less of the grain first; if the price of grain keeps rising, when it reaches a certain level (usually two or three months after the grain enters the warehouse), sell another batch quickly. If grain prices remain at a certain level for a long time and do not continue to rise (usually in the transplanting season), it is necessary to sell all the remaining grain and do not wait until the grain price falls. Although this method of selling grain in batches may not necessarily ask for much bargain, it may reduce some losses to a certain extent, and it is also a simple way to sell grain for farmers who are not sure of the market situation.

In fact, the market is really unpredictable, who can control it 100%? But because of this, we need to keep abreast of the market situation, as the saying goes: look at everything and listen to all sides. In our daily production and life, we should pay attention to all aspects of market information and learn more about the market. Now is the information age, more listening to the radio, watching more TV and reading more newspapers and magazines, it is true that we farmers can hear clearly and read widely from a distance. At present, there are still many people in rural areas who have computers to open the Internet, and this is a window to understand the world. There are everything on the Internet for agricultural materials market, grain market, and agricultural experts' forecasts for the market. In a word, scientific and technological information is important and important for our peasant families to get rich.
