Last Updated: 2024/11/22, The price of millet soars, but farmers are unwilling to plant millet. Why?

When it comes to millet, the price is rising steadily, from the initial 2 yuan to the current 6 yuan, farmers are shouting that they can not afford it. Say you grow some? But you don't want to plant it, so why?

1. Dilemma 1: Millet planting should be flat first, and the second step is to use hoe to open shallow small gully. The difficulty coefficient of this shallow gully is too large! First, the speed is required to be fast; because the moisture in the soil will continue to evaporate, once the millet is exposed for a long time, it will lack the necessary moisture for rooting; second, the gully is required to be straight, straight! Old farmer farming for a long time, arm strength is good, can ensure that the work lasts more than 3 hours; in addition, also requires a certain balance, for example: how fast you walk, old farmer can hook up! This is no exaggeration. Without three years of farm work experience, you really can't use a hoe.

The next step is to sow seeds, which is also a university subject. Farmers carry a bag of rice with their left hand and sow rice with their right hand. The coordination between their right hand and left hand must be perfect. There is also a requirement for uniformity. One piece of land with more seeds and one piece of land with less seeds is definitely not allowed. don't tell me you can handle it! My 5 years of "farming age" also dare not say proficient, finger rigidity half an hour can not slow down is a common occurrence; novice child, special fee child, the reason is that the arm strength is not enough, just started my father directly gave me money, beg me not to harm millet!

After sowing, it is time to bury the soil. Here, we should pay attention to: the soil layer of millet covering should be thin, otherwise the seedling germinates and does not break the soil suddenly. Farmers generally do not cover the soil with farm tools, but use shoes to walk sideways and send the soil to the gully!

You think this is over?! Honey, I wanted to ask you, do you need watering next? Make sure you're on the same page: water it! Wrong, wrong! Millet just planted is not watering, have to wait until the nursery grows to half finger high before watering the first time, the reason is: once watering the ground will appear alkaline substances, causing soil hardening (that is, hardening), weak seedlings how can rush out of the land!

Well, it's all technical work! Don't say city people, 40% of old farmers can do this work is talent!

(Heavy, this is hope)

2. Dilemma 2: Millet is a cereal plant. One of its characteristics is that its roots are too thin. If it is blown down by strong wind, even if it dies, what farmers are most afraid of is that the fast-maturing millet is heavy. If they are not careful, they will be blown down collectively, so that the harvest will be greatly reduced! Therefore, most rural people do not want to grow millet.

(Millet at this time is about to mature and is most afraid of being blown down by the wind)

3. Dilemma 3: Most people do not know this difficulty; that is, pulling out seedlings, confused! To destroy the seedlings? No. Because millet growth needs a suitable spacing, too dense will affect the absorption of sunlight and nutrients, the most suitable distance is one decimeter, that is, the maximum distance between your thumb and your index finger! Therefore, in the summer, kneeling in the field under the sun, single-minded plucking seedlings, you can imagine how difficult it is for farmers to cultivate land! Every grain is hard work!

Birds eat millet

4. Dilemma 4: Now the state requires environmental protection and harmonious coexistence between man and nature, but farmers curse. Why? There are only four reasons: bullying. Millet is the favorite food of birds, so as long as there is millet, there are many birds. There is one thing you don't know, that is, birds are social animals. As long as a bird finds a valley, the next day, birds will fly everywhere! A data: less than 2 hours an acre of millet all eaten. More than ten times I saw an old farmer sitting alone in the ridge wiping his tears, but there was nothing I could do! Sad ah, half a year of hard work in an instant burned!

(Grain harvest, home drying)

5. Well, now that the millet has been harvested, the hard work has come again. The millet we have brought back now has too much moisture. If it is not dried in the sun, it will mold. The peasants have to take a cart and pull the ears of grain to the highway to dry them. It will take about a week. They will be pulled out and pulled back every day.(The countryside is dirt road, only a few roads are roads), and finally the grain is driven out. In the past, the donkey pulled an iron wheel and turned it around to drive out the millet. Now the donkey is too expensive to raise, so it has to pull the iron wheel manually for more than 10 days. All completed farmers have back pain for 1 month! (Food wasted by college students)

Do you know why farmers lick their bowls clean after eating? You call farmers cheap, they just grin and you smile, that's ridicule, you know? Nowadays, college students know waste one by one. If they buy a bowl of rice and leave more than half of it, they scold him twice. He still has reason: he can't eat it. Ask yourself: Why don't you eat so much? Spending adults 'hard-earned money, high-sounding fear of stomach damage, you are not afraid of your "conscience" damage?! Four words for you: thrift!
