The current situation of an ordinary pig farmer is hurt by pigs.

Wang Yun's farm covers an area of 1500 square meters and produces 1000 pigs a year. At more than 6 o'clock every morning, Wang Yun was awakened by the barking of pigs and began his day's work. Feed, take body temperature, deal with feces, give sows midwifery, etc., can not be idle for a moment. In this way, day after day, Wang Yun, who is only 45 years old this year, has fallen ill. "they are all tired out." He said.

All pigs that have been vaccinated will have a label on their ears. On April 30, the price of live pigs is about 5.6 yuan / jin, and the price is much lower than the cost of breeding. In desperation, pigs have become "leftover pigs". Even if they have grown to more than 300 jin, they still stay in the pigsty and continue to feed them.

Soybean meal is a by-product of soybean oil extraction, which is used as protein feed for pigs. In the past two years, the price of feed such as soybean meal has increased in varying degrees, and the cost of raising pigs has been rising.

Dozens of bags of nutritious feed are placed in the warehouse. Feed accounts for more than 70% of the total cost of breeding, and the lack of money in pig farms is nothing more than the lack of feed money. Auxiliary cars depend on each other, lips die and teeth are cold. In recent years, many feed enterprises have begun to test the water to provide guarantee services for farmers.

Wang Yun holds a special syringe. For pig farmers, nothing fears more than the epidemic of pigs and the downturn in the market. Every day, Wang Yun will check the health of pigs, and the treatment of diseased pigs should be done as soon as possible to reduce unnecessary losses.

Last year, Wang Yun lost 200000 yuan. This year, he applied for a loan and sold 270 pigs, but he lost an average of 400 yuan per pig, and the farm is still in decline. He discussed with his family that if the pig market did not improve again, it would be time to change careers.

Sangyuan Village, where the farm is located, is located in the outer suburbs of Shanghai. The area of cultivated land, grain fields and vegetable fields is larger than that of livestock and poultry farms, and there are few large-scale pig farmers. Besides raising pigs, Wang Yun will also grow some vegetables and be self-sufficient.

Wang Yun and his wife have two daughters and a son. The youngest son is only one year old, and his two daughters have both gone to college, one for computer science and the other for normal school, which makes Wang Yun quite proud. He doesn't want his children to work in aquaculture. It's too hard.

Wang Yun, a 45-year-old "senior pig farmer", recently had the intention to quit. Twenty years ago, Wang Yun came to Shanghai with his family to take root in Sangyuan Village, Zhangyan Town, Jinshan District, and has lived a life with pigs ever since. The income is not rich, but it is enough to support the family. Until last year, the days of comfort took a sharp turn for the worse, pig prices continued to fall, and pig farms lost 200000 yuan, which was a major blow.

The fluctuation of the pig market has attracted the attention of the central government. On March 27, the Ministry of Commerce, together with the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance, organized the first batch of electronic bidding procurement for the collection and storage of frozen pork in the central reserve in 2014. Although the policy of supporting agriculture has been strengthened, Wang Yun and his friends of pig farmers are still not optimistic about the trend of the pig market. "if it goes on like this, how can I raise it again?" Wang Yun said.
