The painstaking account of selling 120 yuan for 100 jin in a year is not as bitter as the cost of a meal.

There was a bumper harvest in the countryside in September. September is the season for a bumper harvest of rice, and harvesters and farmers can be seen busy harvesting rice in the fields with sickles and half buckets. But the farmers in the fields are not as happy as they thought. Why is that?

An old farmer in the countryside, who has been growing crops in the countryside all his life, was harvesting rice. His face was frowned and he kept shaking his head. The farmer said that a hard year is not as good as a meal in a hotel in the city.

High cost of rice planting materials and labor

In the early stage of planting rice, you need to buy rice seeds and chemical fertilizers. In addition, each field needs to be ploughed by machines or cattle. With the addition of rice materials and labor costs, old farmers have already invested a sum of money in the early stage of rice planting.

Hilly terrain, large areas of mechanization is difficult, the charge is not cheap

The terrain of the countryside here is hilly, not plain. Therefore, it is difficult to popularize the mechanization of harvester. Although many harvesters are parked on the side of the road waiting for farmers to ask them to harvest millet every year, such harvesters are not cheap.

One mu of land charges at least 300 yuan, and if the place is too remote, the harvester is reluctant to go. Farmers can only ask manual workers or their own families to harvest millet.

The selling price of rice is low, and farmers lose money instead of making money.

Forget the difficult problems of rural topography and mechanization, but what hurts farmers most is the price of rice. In the past, when rice was not high-yielding, the price was good. But now we are already a large rice country, and the national grain reserves are also very rich, so the price at the grain receiving station is not high, while the price of rice in rural areas here is only 1.2 yuan per jin this year. The farmers could not find any other market, so they had to sell it to the grain collection stations in the town.

The peasants themselves simply calculated a sum of money, such as buying grain seeds and fertilizers per mu of land, hiring people to plow the fields, transplanting rice seedlings, and so on, not counting the labor force of the farmers' own families, which would cost about 800 yuan. When a mu of land is calculated to produce 1000 jin, that is, 1200 yuan. Then the maximum income per mu is about 400 yuan.

When the old farmer counted here, he could not help but shed tears. After a year of hard work, the best harvest is only 400 yuan per mu of land. If you work better in the city, you can earn 400400 yuan a day. It may be worse to have a meal in some hotels in the city.
