The hard work of farmers happens silently every day, sweating under the hot sun, burying seeds in the ground, waiting for the crops to grow. Today's farmers, however, face unprecedented pressures and hardships.
Recently, a video deeply worried me: the National Food and Material Reserve Administration announced that the minimum purchase price of wheat and early indica rice this year will be raised by 2 cents respectively, to 1.17 yuan and 1.26 yuan per catty, respectively. This means that the price of grain per catty has increased by two cents, which is equivalent to an additional income of 20 yuan per acre of land. This is certainly good news for farmers, but after taking a closer look at my surroundings, I couldn't help but feel worried.
Prices have been rising, and many years ago, farmers farmed to feed their families, but today farming is difficult to sustain a normal life. Inputs such as seeds, fertilizers and pesticides remain high, while the advanced equipment required for harvesting adds additional expenses. The previous ban on straw burning has changed the fertility of the land, the growth of crops has been seriously affected, and the emergence of pests and diseases has forced farmers to step up control efforts. Under such circumstances, how much money can end up in the hands of farmers?
More worryingly, some experts are beginning to suggest that farmers should donate blood for free. The life of farmers has become more and more difficult, and they have hoped that young people will go out to work to subsidize their families a little, but the situation outside is not optimistic. So-called experts of all kinds have emerged who claim to care about farmers, but often do not really understand their lives, but only see them as a source of resources and constantly extract from them.
"On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops into the soil, who knows that the food on the plate is hard work." This poem teaches us to cherish food since childhood, but I think there is another meaning in it: the uncle farmer is still burying his head in the hot summer, how much hard work the grain has gone through to harvest, we should not ignore the value of this labor, nor can we ignore the plight of the peasant.
Experts and professors should get closer to people's livelihood, go into the lives of farmers, and understand their needs and difficulties. They should strive for more welfare for farmers, rather than just receiving subsidies and enjoying the benefits of agricultural products, but indifferent to the hardships of farmers.
Nowadays, whether farmers can really easily live a good life has become a common concern. Children's education, family living expenses, can farming really afford? This may be an unspeakable but to the point. We can't wait until the farmers' hearts are cold to realize their mistakes. We should act in time to fight for more rights and interests for farmers, so that their lives will no longer be difficult.
Let us work together to give a voice to the uncles and let them get their hard work duly rewarded. Let us jointly protect the land that is cultivated silently and let the farmers live a happier and more satisfying life. This is not only respect for farmers, but also respect for human civilization.
