It is suggested that measures should be taken to protect farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain.

"it's less than 1.70 yuan per kilogram, and it's not easy to sell. What should I do?" Speaking of the output and price of corn, Yan Shanming, a farmer in Shenwan Village, Lengji Town, Gucheng County, Hubei Province, said to the author that it is difficult to increase production and income, which makes people feel sad.

Yan Shanming, who is in his 50s this year, is famous for farming from far and near. Although he is a little old, he can keep up with the "situation". From seed selection to farming to scientific management is not careless at all, therefore, the people around him should follow his example in farming. He planted more than 10 mu of corn this year, with an average yield of more than 700 kilograms per mu. But the corn received, Yan Shanming is not happy, the price of corn from 2.60 yuan per kilogram, fell to 1.70 yuan, compared with previous years, the income per mu less than 600 yuan.

The price of corn fell faster than the farmers had expected. In the past five years, the price of one kilogram of new corn on the market is mostly between 2.30 yuan and 2.50 yuan. The year before last, Yan Shanming's newly harvested corn was quickly snapped up at a price of 2.50 yuan per kilogram. Lan Guoyun, the merchant who bought the corn, said: "one kilogram is still sold for 2.60 yuan." However, the price of corn has dropped rapidly to about 1.80 yuan this year, and it is difficult to sell such a price.

A large grain grower surnamed Liu said that the more than 200 mu of corn he planted sold 60 cents less per kilogram, resulting in a decrease of more than 70,000 yuan in income. We don't know if the price will fall again, but if it does, the loss of growing corn will be even greater.

In the face of the market situation, farmers feel very helpless. "where does the enthusiasm for growing grain come from?" Chen Xiuguo, a big grain grower in Lengji Town, Gucheng County, said, "only when the grown grain sells well and the price allows farmers to make money, will farmers actively grow grain."

There are also farmers who are actively responding to market changes, preparing to raise chickens and pigs to increase the value of corn, reduce risks and increase income. But there are only a few people who do so.

Corn is not a fruit or vegetable, it can be more or less, it is an indispensable staple food in people's daily life. It is also the main source of livestock feed. The author hopes that the relevant departments will pay close attention to it and take effective measures to protect the interests of grain farmers and protect their enthusiasm for growing grain. Let the farmers get real benefits.
