It's forbidden to raise pigs. What else can farmers do?

According to incomplete statistics, at least 150 counties across the country have been designated as forbidden areas, and farmers in these areas can no longer rely on raising pigs to get rich. With the coming down of the ban policy, the rural proclamation of the distinct era, "if you want to get rich, raise less children, raise more pigs" has come to an end. Since pigs can no longer be raised, what else can farmers do to get rich in the countryside?

Under what circumstances, raising pigs and getting rich has become the consciousness of farmers?

In the 1980s, it was the period when family planning began to be fully implemented, when it was in the early stages of reform and opening up, and farmers lived a hard life without saying much. In those days, farmers had an unwritten understanding: having more children can increase the labor force, and if there is more labor force for farming, they will become rich.

Is that the truth? Because the land is limited and with a few more mouths to eat, the life of farmers becomes more difficult. In order to solve the problem of limited resources per capita and the consideration of long-term sustainable development, the state implemented family planning. In order to encourage rural areas to have fewer children and guide them to get rich, similar slogans such as "want to get rich, raise less children, raise more pigs" appeared, and the countryside began to join the army of raising pigs and raising pigs one after another. With the goal of getting rich.

Having said that, I have a question: have farmers become rich by raising pigs?

Let's first take a look at the data: in 2015, in Xiping Village, Chaoyanggou Town, Zhaozhou County, Heilongjiang Province, the average annual net income of pig farmers in a small village exceeded 30, 000 yuan, while in 2015, the income of farmers' villages in China just passed the 10, 000 yuan mark, which was 11422 yuan. Remarks: there are 49 families in Xiping Village, all of which raise pigs, but the breeding capacity is small.

Whether farmers can get rich by raising pigs does not have to be numerous. As a result, raising pigs in small courtyards has become the main means for farmers to get rich at home.

If you can't raise pigs, what else can farmers do?

Perhaps going out to work is the best way out for farmers. now China's urban construction is in full swing, a large number of employment gaps need to be filled, and the wages are acceptable, but this is not a long-term solution. Can you do it for 5 years, 10 years, 20 years? Now that the price of grain is very low, farming can only solve the problem of food and clothing, and it is impossible to make money. As the saying goes, "cheap grain hurts the people", and pigs are not allowed to be raised, what else can the farmer do? I fell into deep thinking.
