Who says growing grain doesn't make money? Please take a look at the wonderful ways to increase the income of the big grain growers.

"people say that growing grain doesn't make money, but I made a net profit of 500 to 600 yuan per mu last year!" The harvest was counted at the end of the year, and last year, the only major national grain grower in Suqian City, Jiangsu Province, Jia long was overjoyed.

Yu Jialong, 45, lives in Nantan Village, Gaodu Town, Siyang County, Jiangsu Province. "growing grain depends on heaven for a living, compared with rising costs, the increase in output and prices is limited, and it is really not easy to make money." When it comes to why he can make money from growing grain, Yu Jialong said his own one, two, three.

Be willing to invest in buying agricultural machinery and do the farm work on your own.

See Yu Jialong, he is driving a digger to level the land in the field, from morning to noon, he has completed more than 10 mu of land.

Jump off the digging machine, Yu Jialong said, willing to invest, willing to contribute, in order to make money, if you rely on finding people to work everywhere, where can you make so much money?

Yu Jialong calculated the bill: from soil preparation, sowing and planting to weeding, fertilizing and harvesting, if he looked for help, everyone would have to pay 80 yuan a day. Therefore, for the farm work that is not in a hurry, Yu Jialong does it himself, saving a considerable amount of money. Yu Jialong joked: this is called working for yourself to "make money".

But with more than 1000 mu of land, how can you do it with physical strength alone? In the past two years, Yu Jialong spent 1.1 million yuan on machinery investment alone and bought 12 agricultural machines, such as tractors, harvesters, rice transplanters, and so on.

"the purpose of buying agricultural machinery is to earn money by working for yourself." Yu Jialong said that if you use other people's machines everywhere, it will cost a lot of money. The year before last, Yu Jialong planted more than 700 mu of rice, and each mu of rice seedlings alone cost 130 yuan. Last year, he bought his own rice transplanter, spending only 40 yuan per mu.

Can grow and sell, and deep processing sells 1.7 times more per mu.

Yu Jialong thought about how to make more money from growing grain: although the price of 50 yuan a jin of rice is high, there are few people who can afford it. If you want to make more money growing grain, you not only have to choose varieties with high yield and disease resistance, but also choose varieties that the public like and are of good quality. Only in this way can you sell.

In 2014, Yu Jialong selected Nanjing 9108 rice, which has a good reputation in Jiangsu Province, as the main variety, with high-quality japonica rice such as Ningjing 9 and Jindao 263 to spread the risk. Facts have proved that Yu Jialong's choice is right. The price of his Nanjing 9108 per kilogram of rice is as high as 3.20yuan, which is 0.50yuan higher than that of ordinary rice, and sells more than 300yuan per mu.

"it is more profitable to sell than to grow." Seeing that Nanjing 9108 is so popular, Yu Jialong has thought about deep processing and small packaging sales. In mid-November last year, he pulled all the rice from Nanjing 9108 to a nearby rice factory for processing, packed in vacuum according to 5 kg and 10 kg specifications, and registered the trademark "Surabaya Pearl". The price of the 5kg package is 68 yuan, which sells well in Shanghai, Suzhou and other places. "if you just sell rice, it will be 1958 yuan per mu, but it will be different after processing. 70 kilograms of rice will be processed according to 100 kilograms of rice, and it can be sold for more than 5460 yuan per mu after deep processing, an increase of more than 1.7 times."

Growing grain should also keep up with the situation, and ecological planting is more secure.

Some people say that chemical fertilizer farming saves money, labor, and high output. In this regard, Yu Jialong does not fully agree: "Today, people live a healthy, environmentally friendly and safe life." Growing grain should also follow the situation. Although ecological cultivation is laborious and laborious, the quality of grain is good, the price is high, and making money is more secure. "

After the rice and wheat harvest, Yu Jialong used the straw returning machine to turn all the straw into the soil. "one mu of rice and wheat straw is equivalent to 4 packets of ammonium bicarbonate, 2 packets of phosphate fertilizer and 24 kg of potash fertilizer, which can save about 260 yuan in fertilizer expenditure." Yu Jialong said that when straw is returned to the field and combined with the use of organic fertilizer, the soil organic matter is increased, the pH is balanced, the nutrient structure is reasonable, and the disease resistance of rice and wheat can be significantly enhanced.

In the field head of Jia long, there are more than a dozen solar energy insecticidal lamps. "A tube of 30 mu of land was shot down after moths and other flying insects pounced on the high-voltage filament from all directions when the lights were on at night in summer and autumn. In the past, the cost of plant protection per mu of rice and wheat was about 160 yuan. After the installation of solar energy insecticidal lamps, the plant insurance fee per mu was less than 80 yuan. " Yu Jialong said that the use of solar energy insecticidal lamps and biological pesticides to prevent diseases and pests can control environmental pollution caused by chemical pesticides from the source and improve grain quality and sales prices.
